Food Waste is grinded and dried and becomes powder, so the quantity and volume is reduced to 1/10 of the original amount.

sorry should be 1/10 of the original volume.. or 10%
No worries :)
Does it pop out nice neat compacted cubes?
Your shop name gives me goose bumps…
Wonder if you also sell Soylent Greens ??
(Or do you make a human sized compactor ?)
If it can grind human bone I'm gonna buy one.
Only if they are a chicken! Says you can only grind Chicken bones, not cow etc.
Let me see… so you waste electricity to heat & grind down a little bit of vegie scraps, waste resources producing this unit, waste $359 + shipping + replacement parts … or compost / worm farm / composting toilet / feed the chooks etc (if you have the space - but worms & composting can be done on an apartment balcony).
Its from "Green Shop" - not very Green (a major reason why you would want to recycle vegie scraps rather than dump them), or economically sensible. Expensive cooked organic matter is unlikely to be of great fertiliser value any way.
May have a use in a commercial kitchen, or vegan commune in a city high rise? I wonder if it smells bad?
But wait, theres more…
No more worries of electric charges thanks to smart power saving system! LOL
(Its on standby 24 hrs a day)

As food waste is transformed into completely dried powder, you can touch it with your hands without experiencing an unpleasant feeling. No more 'yuckies'! How nice.A must have bargain at $359+$22.35 shipping to Brissie
One of the most unnecessary products of 2012!

freakin expensive fertiliser at $359+
How much electricity does this device use? From what little I can find, it takes 4-6 hours to perform its task.
Motor for grinding + heater = probably costly to run. But could probably batch process waste when needed.
is this for cooked food or for raw stuff like prawn shells, animal fats/skin? would be awesome if this could do raw stuff which tend to stink up the bins in summer.
looks like no one could answer what i asked.
vege scraps is one thing… throwing raw chicken fat/ raw prawns to decompose in the summer heat is another matter altogether. Especially if you are living in a 50sqm shoebox.
I thought anything but vegies will lead to rats?
if it's just veges, it'll lead to possums.. we can't win. :(
I thought you were just coming the raw prawn!
Like to see it grind & cook prawn shells until there was no smell!
Maybe also adds some chemicals in the treatment???I limit my prawn consumption / butchering (with fat & other waste) to the night or so before garbage day, and freeze the remains in a few layers of plastic bags. Goes in the bin frozen on garbage day, & collected early in the day - so almost no smell issue in the Qld sun. Saved $359 + post!
lol.
dang it bruce, i don't have a freezer to keep junk. but looks like i have to buy a $400 freezer instead.
i dont know but i just double bag and freeze mine and put it out on bin night that way no bin smell problem.
my freezer is always full of food i want to eat… unfortunately, it does seems that i have to get a separate freezer when i move. i guess living in a shoe box has it's perks.
Maybe you should remove the shoes from your shoe box first!
i did… they are now rock containers :P
Couldn't agree more with the comments. This might (and that's might) make sense in say a crowded Tokyo inner suburb, but in Australia it's just ridiculous. Nothing very green about it at all.
Sounds about right. Domestic waste compactors were mainly designed for apartment dwellers - lugging all that 'trash to the kerb'. But the horror of touching food waste, or storing it in your apartment seems to be the main selling point. So an automated gadget that minimises organic waste with no yuk factor would be popular with a few apartment dwelling females (and a few guys) I have met in Tokyo.
Regardless, of what it does and how… How does this constitute as a bargain?
Haha good point.
EDIT: According to Google cache it was $399 on the 20th of October. Still it would be good to see some comparisons with other sites/stores etc.
IMO just because something is cheaper than it used to be, that still does not make it a bargain. if im wrong….. i have this awesome rock you might like to buy, it used to be $5000 but today only its the bargain price of $100 plus $99 P&H
Don't disagree with you at all. I was just stating that at least they have actually had a price reduction. I honestly see more worth in your $199 rock, than this item - but to each their own.
ill PM you my account details for my bank of nigeria savings and loans account….. ;) (also, my original comment wasnt actually directed at you… or anyone for that matter)
What is the P&H on 2 of your Awesome Rocks - I also have a friend who wants one!
$4900 saving!! Best deal of the year!!for you (and dont tell anyone else) ill do $98 P&H for each additional rock with the coupon code [TOTALLYLEGIT] at checkout
I tried your super special code [IVE GOT ROCKS IN MY HEAD] but it just agreed with me.
I call BS. I used google cache and you were selling the rocks for $20 shipped last week!
Agh! What a rip off! How do I cancel my order????
I paid for Express Post on my Awesome Rocks!
Always interesting to see what gadgets & doodads inventors come up with (useless or not).
I think this is pretty neat how it turns food scraps into something resembling finely ground coffee. If my rubbish wasn't 90% non-food items, then it could even be kinda useful, but I'm a "finish everything on your plate, and don't peel vegetables unless you have to" girl. I'd be better off with one of those cute little brick compactors.
finely ground coffe
I do believe you just hit the nail on the head. This thing is essentially a coffee machine, minus any sort of drinkable output…
You're not very adventurous. A banana skin and orange peel coffee anyone?
I was thinking more about the prawn and beef fat blend..
If you want an alternative to laxative, this is your kinda machine…
i would love to pay to see you eat durians.. peel and all. :P
"unless you have to" was my disclaimer for smart-asses ;)
Does that mean 60% of the original volume?
