Mill Composter Review – A
Mill Composter Review – A Huge Upgrade from the FoodCycler
We upgraded from the Vitamix FoodCycler to the Mill, and the difference has been remarkable. With the FoodCycler, we had to empty it almost daily, and it frequently clogged or left behind odors. Since switching to the Mill, those issues are a thing of the past.
The Mill quietly dries and grinds our food scraps overnight, and the result is an odorless, lightweight material that we can go weeks without needing to empty. It’s clean, efficient, and unbelievably low-maintenance. What really blew us away? It’s now not uncommon for us to only take out our kitchen trash once a month—because there’s absolutely no food waste in it anymore. That’s a game-changer.
Beyond the functionality, the Mill app adds a layer of accountability and satisfaction—you can track your food waste impact and see exactly how much you’re keeping out of landfills. Plus, the fact that Mill collects and repurposes the byproduct into animal feed makes this feel like a genuine contribution to a more sustainable food system.
Mill vs. FoodCycler – No Contest:
• Weeks before needing to empty (vs. daily)
• No clogs, no odors, no maintenance headaches
• Significantly reduces overall trash volume
• Larger capacity + app with sustainability tracking
• Truly circular system—Mill collects and repurposes the byproduct
Final word: If you’re using a FoodCycler or still tossing food scraps in the trash, the Mill is worth every penny. It’s elegant, effective, and genuinely changes how you think about waste.
