Food waste recycling containers for indoors

In the spirit of “Why keep it simple when I can pay for a complicated machine?”, there is Lomi. The reason I know is because I was tempted to buy one, for $279, just for the curiosity factor.
And now that I have a couple larch trees that I have been told I must rake up the needles from, I wonder if I could put larch needles in this thing? But the interesting thing about this machine is that it heats the stuff up and grinds it up and processes it into soil/pre-mulch. But it only handles 3 quarts at a time and you are supposed to limit certain waste types. But it is only 12"x16"x13" and it uses just 0.60 kWh per 20 hour cycle. The 4 hour cycle does not do as much “composting” as the 20 hour cycle.

Yes!

I seem to remember a cycle length and food restrictions that wouldn’t work in my household, and it would mean returning to the countertop front.

Do you remember where you saw it at $279?

It was $279 WITH a montly membership fee for filters, pods and stuff. Once i saw the montly fee i was out of there. Not sure how the filters work or what the pods are.
