You answered a question I had about placing the finished product in the compost to finish. Thank you! I found a rotating composter that quickly became a problem with the stench and rotating it due to the heavy stuff and no handle. I think putting this in there instead will greatly help with the issues. Great video!
Good review. I just got mine in the mail today. Am keen to try it out tomorrow! Do you have to run express mode every day? Or can you collect scraps for 2-3 days and then run express mode? Just trying to optimize on Electricity usage
You can run the express mode for about an hour. This is key to preventing smells and flies. We run ours for about an hour, then stop it until the next day. We collect food for about a week, then at the end of the week (or if it starts getting full), we run the full vego mode and dump it. Repeat. Enjoy!! Hope that helps. We love ours!!!
I apologize for overlooking this question. That seems odd that they would say that. We have found the wifi is useful if you want to view data, status, etc, but we never really use the phone app. As far as we can tell, it works just fine for its purpose using the buttons on the machine itself. I would recommend reaching out to the company again and ensuring their answer is true and that they understood your question. Like I said, we set up the app initially, but I don’t think we’ve really used it since.

@@ADifferentWay thanks, yes, super helpful!
Have solely done fruit scraps? I like to juice and looking for composter. Watermelon etc
Definitely had a bin of fruit and vegetables. It works great for that.
does it need wifi to work?
It does not need wifi to work, it only needs it to send info to the app.
@@ADifferentWay I contacted the company and sounds like it does need wifi to function and will need to return it now
