From a compact 2.5L countertop unit to a 130L outdoor tumbler — six of our composters to get you started. See the full range in the shop.
Who it's for
Not every household needs the same composter. Here's how our range maps to real kitchens.
A 2.5–3L unit like the WeeKett or NutriChef keeps a small footprint on the counter and processes a couple of days of scraps at a time.
Our 4–4.5L composters handle a household's daily waste without needing to be emptied constantly — pick a mode that matches how much you cook.
The Reencle's 14L microbial system and the FoodCycler Eco 5's 5L bucket handle genuinely heavy volume, and both produce compost you can use directly.
Our 130L outdoor tumbling composter handles garden clippings and prunings alongside kitchen scraps, with no electricity or filters needed.
How it works
Fifteen different units, one shared standard: fast waste reduction, genuine odour control, and easy day-to-day maintenance.
Every composter in our range dries, grinds or breaks down scraps far faster than an outdoor heap — most within 2 to 8 hours, so your kitchen bin never fills up with rotting food waste between collections.
Activated carbon filtration traps smell at the source rather than just containing it, and most units alert you when a filter needs replacing — we stock both brand-specific and universal refills.
Add water, press a button, done. Every composter in our range has a dedicated cleaning cycle so you're not scrubbing a drum by hand, and removable buckets are dishwasher-safe.
Mix dried pre-compost into soil or an outdoor pile at roughly 1:10, or choose a microbial unit like the Reencle for finished compost you can use directly in pots and beds.
LED displays, one-touch modes, and self-weighing timers on several units mean you can load it, press a button, and walk away — no app and no complicated setup.
The complete guide
Electric composters have gone from a niche gadget to a genuinely practical kitchen appliance, but the range on the market varies enormously in capacity, mechanism and running cost. This guide covers what actually matters when choosing one, based on the 15 units we stock.
A 2.5–3L composter suits one or two people generating a few days of scraps between empties. A 4–4.5L unit is built for a family of three to five cooking regularly at home. Our 5L FoodCycler Eco 5 and 14L Reencle handle genuinely heavy volume — either a large family or anyone wanting to process the bulk of their food waste rather than a supplementary amount. Bigger isn't automatically better: a bucket run less often uses roughly the same total energy as a smaller one run more often, so size for convenience, not efficiency.
Most composters in our range dry, grind and cool food waste into a shrunk, dried pre-compost — useful mixed into soil or an outdoor pile at roughly a 1:10 ratio, but not finished compost. The Reencle works differently, using live microbes to genuinely decompose scraps into real, plant-ready compost over 24 hours plus a curing period. If you want fast same-day turnaround, choose a grind-and-dry unit. If you want compost you can use directly like a bag from the garden centre, the microbial route gets you there.
Every unit we stock uses activated carbon filtration, but filter capacity and replacement frequency vary. Dual-filter designs generally last longer and control odour more consistently than single-filter units. Whatever you choose, budget for filter refills every 3 to 6 months — we stock both brand-specific and universal options — and don't skip the self-cleaning cycle, which is the single biggest factor in whether a composter stays odour-free for years rather than months.
Most units here run between 28dB and 48dB — quieter than normal conversation. If the composter will run overnight in a studio flat or open-plan kitchen-diner, look for units rated below 40dB, and consider a rubber mat under the unit to reduce any vibration noise transmitted through the counter.
Use dried pre-compost on pot plants and balcony containers at a low ratio, donate finished compost to a local community garden or allotment, or check whether your council's food waste collection accepts pre-processed material. And if you do have a garden, our outdoor tumbling composter handles garden waste that no electric countertop unit is built for.

Got questions?
Most units in our range dry, grind and cool food scraps over a few hours, shrinking the volume by up to 90% and producing a dried pre-compost material. A few, like the Reencle, use live microbes to fully decompose waste into genuine, usable compost over a longer cycle.
Not if it's maintained. Every unit here uses activated carbon filtration to trap odour at the source, and most alert you when the filter needs replacing. Emptying the bucket promptly after each cycle keeps things fresh long-term.
A 2.5–3L unit suits one or two people; 4–4.5L suits a family of three to five; our 5L and 14L units suit larger households or anyone wanting to process the bulk of their food waste. If you have a garden, our outdoor tumbling composter handles garden waste too.
It depends on the unit. Grind-and-dry composters produce a dried pre-compost, best mixed into soil or an outdoor compost pile at roughly a 1:10 ratio. The Reencle's microbial process and a tumbling composter's natural decomposition both produce finished compost you can use directly.
Typically every 3 to 6 months depending on how often you run the unit. We stock both brand-specific and universal replacement filters, plus compostable caddy liners for collecting scraps.
