Lomi costs $499, and Pela recommends its two-year membership for LomiPod and activated carbon refills ($39 every three months).Ĭurrently, Lomi is available to order in the US and Canada. How much does Lomi cost, and where can I get it?Ĭonvenient composting won't come cheap. Side effects of composting include feeling good about doing your part. Lastly, there's Lomi Grow mode (16 to 20 hours), which turns Lomi's waste into nutrient-rich soil for potted plants or gardens.
There's also Lomi Approved mode (five to eight hours), which accepts Lomi approved bioplastics and compostable consumer goods in addition to food waste. Lomi's grow mode produces nutrient-dense soil for your potted plants and garden.Įco-express is the fastest way to compost (three to five hours) and produces dirt that should go directly into a green bin or trash.
The machine is also energy-efficient: Each cycle uses just 0.6 to 1 kWh of electricity, which would cost the average US household about 14 cents per use. Here's a full list of everything that can (and cannot) go in Lomi. It can compost over 30% of what you're already throwing away. Lomi weighs 22 pounds and measures 16 inches wide by 12 inches high, so you should have no trouble storing it on a countertop or in cabinets. The at-home composter fits your countertop The LomiPods are used during two of the three compost cycles. These tablets are a proprietary blend of probiotics and are added to the waste to improve the speed of degradation, reduce smell and create the healthiest soil output to add to plants. (These filters need to be replaced every three to six months, depending on use.)Īlso included with Lomi is a bag of 45 LomiPods. This is also thanks to the activated carbon located in its two filters. Lomi does a great job of containing smell even when the bucket reeked of old food, there was no leakage as long as the lid was covered. Over the two weeks I used Lomi, it took anywhere from three to six days to fill the bucket with kitchen scraps. With laws requiring residents and businesses to divide their waste for green bins or compost on their own popping up, like this one in California, a countertop composter could be a great way to manage organic waste and smelly bins. Whether you're using Lomi's soil for your garden or throwing it away, the condensed scraps in the trash or a green bin will have a positive environmental impact.
The benefits of compostingĬomposting reduces the amount of methane gasses released at the landfill. To see it in action, check out my full video review of the Lomi at-home composter above. After spending two weeks using the Lomi, I can report that it does what it's supposed to, felt great to cut down on my carbon footprint - and I had fun with it, too.
