SAVE $100: The Vitamix FoodCycler will help you reduce food waste and fertilize your garden. As of April 1, you can get it on sale for $299.95 — a 25% savings.


Whether you're a zero waste fan looking to shrink down your food waste, or an avid gardener needing an all-natural fertilizer, a countertop composter will give you the best of both worlds. Since food waste in landfills is one of the leading causes of the greenhouse gasses that contribute to climate change, composting is one of the best ways to go more eco-friendly.

While you could always put a regular composter in your backyard, the smell can attract bugs and other pests (not to mention how long it takes for the food to actually break down). The Vitamix FoodCycler is the ideal solution — it locks in smells, can be used inside your home, and can turn the food scraps from dinner into a nutrient-dense fertilizer in as little as four hours. It's also on sale at Amazon as of April 1 for $100 off, bringing the price down to only $299.95.

The Vitamix FoodCycler is ideal for small spaces or for folks who don't have access to local composting. It works by dehydrating and grinding down food waste by up to 90% of its original size, all while keeping odors in. The carbon filtration system ensures your home won't smell like compost, and the filters are easily replaced when they reach their end of life (after about 120 hours of usage).

The carbon-filtered inner bucket is ideal for storing all those onion skins, apple cores, and greens that went bad before you got to them. Once you fill up the bucket with scraps, it's ready to compost. Simply press the power button, and in a few hours, you'll have fertilizer ready to go. The FoodCycler is easy to clean too, since the inner bucket is dishwasher safe.

Stop throwing your food scraps in the trash and repurpose them into fertilizer for the garden with the Vitamix FoodCycler. Plus, get it at Amazon for 25% off while this deal lasts.
