Hard to say really, this isn't going to change the fact that a garbage truck still drives passed your house regardless, but lets try. The average American family wastes 250lbs of food per year, lets pretend that Lomi eliminates 80% of that, which would be 200lbs saved from a landfill. 1 ton of food waste generates 65 kg of methane, so 7.5kg eliminated per year. Methane is 25x as potent as CO2, so 177 equivalent kg of CO2. The 2021 US average CO2 emission/Kw was 380g. So assuming 1kW per cycle, you could run this machine 427 times in a year before exceeding the CO2 equivalent savings.

You put more into this machine than you get out of it. There is a reason that most composting happens in literal truckloads to cut down on energy put into it. And this is still food waste that as it breaks down will release greenhouse gases, you can't get away with "less" gases just because you're now doing it in smaller quantities and more often. The laws of thermodynamics mean that while this is a well meaning product, more energy will go into it than you get out of it.

But the materials that go into it are very earth unfriendly. If million people did it in a short period of time, that's a huge emissions cost. Not to mention that the electric grid won't be able to cope with all the charging, so we'd be burning even more natural gas or coal to keep up with the charging demand. If anything, the best option is to keep driving your gas car until it breaks and THEN buy an EV. But let's face it, that's not going to happen, because EVs are the latest rage now. People are going to ditch their 3-5 year old cars to buy EVs. And then 5 years later they will ditch those EVs to buy new EVs again. And so on.

Before bashing this, I think people should try to understand the cons of just throwing out your organic waste into the trash vs. doing something like this. Google "does organic waste decompose in landfill?" and you will find a lot of articles on why it's not the same... that banana peel that you threw out will probably take much much longer to decompose and will produce methane which is 25x worse than CO2 due to the lack of oxygen and moisture when it gets buried in a landfill. You also need to factor in all the other secondary effects associated with just throwing away organic waste (e.g., gas, extra weight to transport to landfill, landfill operations, trash bags, etc.). I'm not advocating for this device, but given each individuals patience and space/time constraints this might be a good alternative especially if you have access to renewable power sources (e.g., solar, wind). Just wanted to provide more context before people just bash this without all the info.

@@0IIIIII You don't get it this machine doesn't compost it's a desiccator and a blender, compost is a natural process that takes around 8 month where fungi, bacteria and insects degrade the waste in basic components for plants to use. If anything and after using a lot of electricity, this machine stops the process by sterilizing and removing the water. It's wasteful and useless.

Yeah, no shot I'm ever buying this. Upkeep is way too expensive and seems to barely make a dent in current food waste + adding it's own set of waste. Still hoping something ground breaking comes out that actually has a meaningful impact on our current waste management. Not a feel good product that minimally impacts my footprint on the environment. That said, great video and I appreciate you and your team's effort to put this video together to save me time researching.

You know what's cheaper and would get the same effect? Use your hairdryer on your scraps and throw them into a food processor, because the end result is the same. This is not a composter, and it doesn't produce soil. You are delusional if you think you are helping the environment, using electricity to dry and grind up food waste to put onto the soil. It's more convenient for you sure, but is it better for the environment or soil? No. You're shilling a product that is both harmful to the environment, and deceitful with it's subscription based marketing ploy. Try vermicomposting for fast results. They don't smell when properly maintained and they ACTUALLY break down waste into useable nutrients. If you can't be hassled with worms, just buy some inoculated bokashi medium and a cheap bin and get to it.

I would like to strongly recommend against buying this product. It does not reduce your carbon footprint, as a matter of fact it increases it. You cannot reduce the amount of methane released by compost unless you combust it meaning using lomi or just throwing your food waste away yield to the same amount of methane being released. However since lomi uses electricity to speed up this natural composting process it increases the amount of energy you consume which leads to a higher carbon footprint as more electricity needs to be produced to accommodate the use of the machine. Please please please do not use lomi or any other "fast" composter that uses electricity. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, reduce the amount of electricity you use around the house, it is several times more effective.

I have enjoyed my Lomi for months however now it is an issue cleaning it. The stir Blade doesn’t come off for Cleaning. Mine is several months old and becoming a real problem to clean dirt out from under the Blade and it can stop it. Then you must unplug it so it doesn’t malfunction. That blade must be removable for cleaning
