NatureMill Plus Automatic Indoor Compost Bin

Mounding kitchen scraps in the backyard is all well and good, but we've got nothing against letting technology speed up nature's progress. NatureMill just came out with the newest version of its home composting system, the XE series. 

NatureMill's composters add heat and oxygen to the mix while a motor-driven mechanism churns up your kitchen scraps, cutting the decomposition time down to about two weeks, at which point the good stuff drops into a little bin at the bottom of the machine. Apparently, the machine can handle 100-pounds of food scraps a month. Then you can toss the nutrient-rich goodness on your garden. An activated charcoal filter and a fan in the back of the machine are meant to remove the odors.

The XE series has evolved quite a few paces since its last iteration. Most notably, the motor strength has doubled (and if the motor gets caught on something it will try again every four hours until it clears up). While the NatureMill composter does have to be plugged in, it uses a minimal 5 kWh of energy, which can be lowered even further in its energy saver mode.

NatureMill sets the "industry standard" for compost bins:

• Mixes automatically - so you don't have to
• No trash odors. Continuous air flow and a powerful carbon filter remove odors. This compost tumbler is completely sealed!
• Ideal for home composting, indoors or outdoors, even in cold weather, rain, or snow.
• Add food waste any time, any day, up to 120 lbs per month. Kitchen compost items are processed continuously, mixing every 4 hours, until they are completely ground down to small particles
• Make compost in 2 weeks. A red light tells you when to empty the machine. Just open the door and remove the compost.
• Unlike other compost bins and compost tumblers, NatureMill accepts meat, fish, and dairy due to high temperatures inside.

• All NatureMill composters can compost pet waste, kitty litter, and cage beddings.
