Composting is a smelly affair but so is food rotting away next to your nonorganic garbage. Turning food waste into plant fuel is easier said than done, but with an organic waste recycler, it’s both easy said and easy done, too. Kitchen food waste recyclers are up there with the air fryer as my favorite kitchen invention of the last few years and you can score on of the most popular models, the Lomi 2, for 50% off during its Black Friday megasale.
Just drop your apple cores, banana peels and fish skins inside, and in less than 10 hours you’ll have sweet smelling soil that’s far closer to usable compost than it was when it went in.
The Lomi 2 — the brand’s latest model — typically costs $599 but order one and subscribe for a year for filter refills ($10 per month) and you’ll get a whopping $305 off the sticker price, down to just $295.

The deal nets you the Lomi 2 Food Recycler, a starter pack of odor-eliminating charcoal filter and 1 year warranty. Membership means 1 year supply of Lomi Filter refills which are billed monthly and shipped every three months.
So how does the Lomi work? We tested it to find out
The composter, which CNET reviewed last year, works quietly and cleanly and stifles all the nasty odors you would get from a traditional compost bin. You can read this or watch this to get the full story of how the Lomi works and what we thought of it. Put simply, you toss all your organic waste into the Lomi, and in a matter of hours, it turns discarded food into sweet-smelling, nutrient-rich soil for your garden and planters. You can also just dispose of it naturally outside if you don’t have a growing space.
The Lomi’s grow mode produces nutrient-dense soil for your potted plants and garden.
This Black Friday price is about as cheap as we’ve seen the Lomi, and you’re not likely to see it drop this low again until next November.
