    How much power do these use? Is that really so environment-friendly?

    • Magicmannn on 02/01/2024 - 20:07

      If you got solar and your grid already has too much solar when you use it, then yes.

            @AustriaBargain: Yep totally agree. My flat mate and I were just discussing what packaging now goes into the recycling bin… soft plastics? Why can a 1.25 Ltr coke bottle get 10 cents but not a 2ltr milk bottle? why are we collecting plastic bread ties in a bowl in my kitchen ffs? Wait I just found out why we collect bread ties:

              @J B S: Pretty sure the reason why you get 10c back for a soft drink bottle, but not a milk bottle is because the milk processors aren't forced to participate in the deposit scheme and pass the costs onto the consumer.

        I bet even with solars you need to use this Breville device for, like, 70 years to offset its manufacturing etc.

        Even the line "REDUCE FOOD WASTE BY 80%" indicates marketing BS, so someone buys it and feels better reducing "their food waste" while all they do is wasting more energy to compress the volume of their - unchanged - food waste.

          It is a option though mainly for apartments but agree if you got the space for compost that’s a lot better as you are also building microbiome whereas this is a bit debatable about the exact compostable benefits plus the environmental impact of manufacturing

          However if you are in Sydney and haven’t had your garbage collected for 4 weeks in the middle of a heatwave it pays for itself.

    This got a lot of heat when it was first posted here, so I didn't post it yesterday when it was $149 at Amazon. I was looking because Brisbane City Council is offering up to $200 rebate on food waste dehydrators, among other things, so it's basically free with the rebate. I tried to convince my other half to just stick to compost and worms but she wanted to try it, despite the Choice review and it getting a Shonky award. Will make an $8 profit with cash rewards too. We'll be using it on solar only so hopefully don't use extra power.

    • hvbarg on 02/01/2024 - 21:24

      Chooks with their dainty little feathered wings are absolute shit at recycling food scraps, they don't even know which night to put the recycling bin out. Don't ask me how but I know.

    Composting worms are much easier, more reliable, don't use electricity, don't require something to be manufactured other than the bin.

      Dumbest comment ever. Next you'll suggest filtering silicon dust and bush fire smoke so they don't get into your lungs is a waste of time.

      • amosmilburn on 02/01/2024 - 22:40

        theyve banned silicone dust causing stone (and you could just avoid it before that) and like everyone else you could just take the usual bushfire advice and remain indoors with doors and windows closed, like everyone else does…maybe put a wet towel at door base if youre really sensitive

        or you could go buy a gadget that further draws power from a grid already at crisis and whose filters you'll get bled for every 6 months because a little LED says its doing you favours…it wouldnt be lying to you, surely

        youre aware that for millennia, man didnt have air purifiers, and yet here we are still

        • bargainshooter on 03/01/2024 - 00:12
          +4

          Silicone dust causing stone hasn't been banned (they?). Importation of new artificial stone is being banned but there's plenty of it in use and working with many other substances can cause silicosis. Dental technicians for example. And there is a solution to prevent it - it's called filtration.
          Millennia - what was life expectancy in 1800?
          You think Australian building standards will prevent smoke and particulates coming into your house with or without a wet towel? Look up number of respiratory illnesses and deaths due to smoke and particulate inhalation post bush fires if you're interested. Number of chronic illnesses developed due to particulate inhalation. If you want to suck up pollution go for it. Many don't.

      Depending on where you live (and the air quality), or if you have asthmatics in the house, air purifiers with HEPA filters do make a difference.

    Please don't fall for marketing gimmick. Despite being on sale, the company will make money out of filters and lids that needs to be replaced often. These type of unnecessary items are "crimes against nature" Breville FoodCycler

    What do we do with the ecochips? Eat them with milk for breakfast then the BS cycle is complete. The Brisbane City Council and others created the food scrap problem with all these apartments and high density living, so they conn you in with a rebate and get you to pay for the energy to fix up the problem.

    • SteveD on 02/01/2024 - 22:04

      @ocular:Ecochip is actually a garnish. As it is reduced to 80 percent of its weight, it holds back all of the vegetable protein in it. It is a protein power house. You basically add on top of your favourite cereal with milk or gourmet yogurt(BS) Hahahaha!!!

    Anyone tried using this without replacing the filters to reduce running costs? Wondering if and how bad the smell is.

    There are certain things which are hard to compost like bones, citrus, onions, dairy etc which this may have a use for. Not sure if the reduction in methane by not sending it to landfill is anywhere close to balancing the cost to produce and run the machine

    For all the negative comments, the Amazon reviews seem pretty positive – looks like it has its niche use case
