I think the Naturemill is a very good investment. When I first got it of course I had remorse about the money I spent because it was quite expensive and I had already purchased several of the cheaper types of composters (a tumbler and a worm bin). They didn’t work out for me. So I invested in the Naturemill kitchen composter. It is by far the only home compost maker that actually works for me. All of the reviews I have read give it a similar review so I took the plunge.

The Naturemill has a really strong motor that mixes the compost on queue every 4 hours round the clock. You can hear it. Sounds like a refrigerator but not on as often. I am happy to give this product a solid review because I really think Naturemill has the right approach but any way that you choose to compost is the right way to compost.

Naturemill is amazing!!!! If you are thinking about composting then in my opinion Naturemill is the best option. If you want something indoors, it’s either Naturemill or worms and worms are just gross. I have been composting outdoors and it definitely cheaper, but read the reviews of the outdoor composters and you will see how much work it is and how slow it is and you can’t do meat or fish or dairy. Naturemill can compost almost anything (not bones or paper) and every review I have ready indicates that the product works just as mine does which is flawless. I give it a “two thumbs up” review and I highly recommend the Naturemill to anyone who wants to compost without getting too dirty.

It’s a good product. I have one. It is much easier than trying to keep worms alive. I recommend it. The reviews of the new one are good but I don’t have that one. There was a review in the new york times also.

I got the heavy duty version off their website and it is definitely the way to go. I’ve been watching this company for a few years since they first started and it’s nice to see the upgrades they have made along the way. By now the product is very solid as if they had listened to their customers which is always a good way to go. Pretty much we have no trash at home now because we recycle or compost almost everything. Our trash man must be lonely! Plants are loving the compost by the way.

This is a great machine! We got ours at Costco. It looks like a different model because it is different than the one in the picture and it is definitely a heavy duty version. It’s nice to know that they fixed any problem the earlier model might have had. In any case, it has been cranking out compost for a few months now and we are very pleased with it and need to do some more gardening now.

I purchased one for my parents so they wouldn’t have to dig around back. But they were very annoyed with me for spending so much money on such a poor piece of engineering. There is no actuator for the dump mechanism in theirs. I don’t know if this was simply a one off problem or if it’s a terrible design flaw. I’d like to believe it’s the first, but the second is more likely because there’s just not space in the STYROFOAM shell for another actuator. I see these guys at COSTCO now, and it makes me just cringe. It’s really going to turn a lot of people off composting.

We have had a Naturemill compost maker for about a year. It has become a part of our daily routine, from coffee grounds in the morning to dinner scraps at night to farmers market trimmings on the weekends. I cringe at the thought of how much we used to contribute to big nasty landfills.

This is a good way to go green and it is so easy and inexpensive that it is really taking off. Even if you consider that it uses energy, apparently it is less energy than the trash truck to haul the stuff who knows where.

If you decide to buy one of these, be sure to read and follow the instructions. It’s not a trash can, and yes it will jam like any other mechanical appliance if you overload it. The company has been very responsive to our questions (mostly through email) and they really stand behind their product which is rare these days. It is made in the USA which is also very rare. So far I am quite impressed with this company.

We love our NatureMill! I can no longer imagine how people lived before the age of indoor composting. This is important to us because we have raccoons who love to dig through our regular trash even it is latched shut, so a compost bin is out of the question. As the other gentleman noted, it is very fast. There are no odors. We got the deluxe version which I highly recommend because it is more solidly built and does not have the jamming problems or the quality issues of the cheaper model. It doesn’t do paper which is a bummer because we have so many shredded bills and what not. It doesn’t do steak bones either which I can understand so our dog still handles those. But it does meat and fish and fish bones and chicken bones although they do not recommend that.
