    You did a great job on this video! I was VERY close to buying a Lomi, but wanted to do my due diligence before spending so much. I wish I had the money to support what seems like a great company without worrying about it, but our budget is too tight. I ended up buying an iDoo brand composter, not the one you tested, but I really appreciate the thoughtful video-it helped me pause and reconsider, not just buy the brand I felt excited about and “in love” with. Thank you!

    Such good reviews. I loved your original review on the Lomi and was excited to get one after watching. I ended up holding off, because I have a small farm and a huge outdoor leaf/compost pile and thought, why should I spend money on a machine to break down my scraps, when my giant leaf pile slowly digests my food scraps. Well besides loving kitchen gadgets, I live in the Northeast, where cold weather takes over and slows composting for quite a few months. I think this is where these little machines shine and I'm glad I held off buying the Lomi, after watching your review of the Lykoclean. Happy plantings!

    Thanks for this comparison review. Very comprehensive. I will be going with the lykoclean because of this review. I will be shooting you out on an Amazon review after I get/use it. I would love a comparison of using the pre compost on actual plants (preferably vegetables). Have a control plant, then one with lumi and one with lykoclean and just see how well they all grow.

      For one, neither actually make compost,they make precompost. Those dehydrated food bits still need to be broken down to form compost. Epic Gardening has a good video to check out.

    Thank you for this! I've spent weeks looking at different composters. Lomi was one, then a cheaper airthereal was another. I really want Reencle, but it is sooo much bigger and it does actual compost, not precompost. Cost was my biggest factor. The lomi classic is discontinued. The bloom is the new one but it's expensive!!! $400 and $60 every three months!! Reencle is $500 and filter and compost bag every year is also not cheap. You have convinced me the lykoclean is all thr features I want for indoor compost bin. You were very helpful! Thank you!

    Great video. I just picks up a lomi from Costco, I don’t see myself accidentally keeping food in there that long, but mistakes do happen it seems like Lomi missed big time not including the UV filter. Also I can’t believe they chose white as a standard colors Wish they had black. Gonna lookup more Likoclean videos and keep this Lomi in the box for a little longer.

    I got a Lomi because of bears being attracted by compost. I didn't know about the Lykoclean you are testing. So far my Lomi is working well. I keep my food scraps in the freezer and dump them into the Lomi the night before I run a cycle. One note: don't get the subscription from Lomi for charcoal and white pills as they send too many for a smaller household.

    Thanks for your review. I am impressed with your review on Lykoclean. I just received my Lomi 3 days ago😢 and now I know I like the other brand. The price alone is a lot of difference which would really help a lot. I wonder how much it will cost me to return my Lomi 🤔

    Which one was better for the plants/soil? Based on a different video, it seems like Lomi makes an effort to address our main purpose for composting (recycling & replenishing the soil in our environment, reducing methane gas associated with large trash dumps), but I am not sure. What is your experience?

    • @tenneyplants

    I understand in the comments that you say it’s your opinion, but you are passing it off as fact.
    In fact, you have not followed the Lomi instructions which is causing some of your problems.
    1)You don’t let food sit in the Lomi, that’s why you are having mold. Save it in a separate container if you aren’t ready to do a load that day.
    2) If you stop Lomi it will restart at the beginning but will jump ahead and it will finish just as fast.
    3) Neither machines should not be in reach of your children.
    3) Lomi is more expensive because a lot more engineering into the start up, and on going development.
    4) The Eco grow mode with the essential microbes are so good for the soil.
    5) The uv light is not a good idea. The light will kill microbes that you want to be in the soil.
    6) If you over load the Lomi it won’t tumble enough and you’ll get stuff dried onto the sides and bottom.
    At the end of the day, you can only buy what you can afford.
    But please don’t knock something when you aren’t operating it correctly or fully understanding the advantages of the features.

      Cool! I think the Lomi does a fine job! I've had it for a few years and have had hardly any problems (besides my forgetfulness in leaving scraps too long and they mold, haha.) I appreciate the Lomi and I'm just sharing that there's other great options!

    These things are not even close to a compost, throw it on a cookie tray, throw it in the oven and when it dries put it in the food processor, I would expect more for these kind of prices these units cost

    • @tannerfrancisco8759
      @tannerfrancisco8759 27 днів тому +1

      All of these composters are essentially a bread maker. Just get a bread maker for $3 at a garage sale, throw your scraps in there and let it blend it up and heat and you end up with the same result. But it's still not compost.
