Le champion poids lourds
des déchets

I have killed a lot of worms and made some horrible messes and smells over the years with various manual and electric composters. I’ve had this GEME Pro composter for over two years and it solves all the issues I’ve had before: high volume (can dump in a large salad bowl full of stuff and it’s ready again tomorrow for more), very little to no smell (met my wife’s critical standard), low noise and low maintenance. Oh, and it makes real compost that is easier and better to use than the dehydrated / chopped up stuff we got from other machines

Just two weeks ago I had this to say about this composter after two months of flawless operation.... "I had been able to harvest one quart of compost, which I was very happy with. One week later I find it has turned itself off. No event occurred that should have caused this. I contacted customer service immediately, and filled in all the information on their website. That was two weeks ago, and have not heard a word from them. Very unhappy. This item is too expensive to not get any customer service." (I gave it one star) My tune has now changed 180 degrees! The company must have seen my review and checked back to see what happened. They emailed me with a copy of their original response (which was dated just a day after I filed my complaint) and apologized profusely for not following up when they did not hear from me. I was impressed that they took complete responsibility for this and did not try to blame me for not getting back to them. I saw that their original email had offered to send me a brand new machine free of charge and they would include return postage so that I could send the non-operating machine back. THAT IS FIRST CLASS SERVICE! Too bad it went to my spam folder and too bad I did not notice it there. I love that these people care about their product, and I am happy, and in fact proud, to give them my business. I recommend them without reservation. (Just check your spam folder if you try to communicate with them! LOL)

Unser geme, seit 3 Jahren ununterbrochen im Einsatz, begeistert uns jeden Tag! Kein unangenehmes Leeren des Biomülls, keine Gerüche in der Küche oder aus der Tonne und kostenloser Dünger für den Garten noch dazu! Dass im Sommer keine Maden mehr an der Biotonne sind ist ein nicht zu unterschätzender Nebeneffekt:-))
Das Gerät läuft sehr ruhig.
Die UV Lampe mussten wir erst jetzt, nach über 3 Jahren auswechseln. Hat also wesentlich länger gehalten als die versprochenen 15.000 Stunden. Sie kostet lediglich ca 22 Euro und das ist zu verschmerzen, zumal man bei diesem Gerät nicht dauernd teure Filter nachkaufen muss. Der Dauerfilter ist perfekt!

I've been using this composter for about 2 years now. I have to say the compost quality is top-notch—it processes just about anything in hours and there is absolutely no noticeable smell.

Unfortunately, after 2 years of heavy use, it broke. Initially, I was frustrated because I couldn't get a hold of customer service. However, I recently learned they completely upgraded their website! I reached out through the new site, and their response speed is incredibly fast. They took care of my issue immediately and were extremely helpful.

It's rare to see a company listen to feedback and improve this much. The machine is great, and the new customer service is even better. Highly recommended!

What a great invention. My Geme greatly reduces the amount that I put in the landfill. I take much less garbage to the dump and the garbage is no longer juicy and rank. The Geme is easy to use and not stinky. I mix the Geme dust into my garden. I size is perfect for our needs and more realistic than a counter top unit.

I use this composter as a method for pre-processing food for my vermibag vermicompost bag. It works great. Overnight most food/garden scraps and shredded cardboard disappears and turns into a biologically active product that the worms tend to swarm when added with fresh bedding. Also because there are no non-broken down food scraps in the actual worm bag, there are no worries about fruit flies or any other pests.

While expensive, I needed a solution to manage a lot of garden waste faster than vermiculture alone could handle. This composter was the answer. Also very easy to setup and use.

I think I've hit the 5 or 6 month mark, this thing is incredible! We're just now getting to the fill mark, so I'll be sprinkling some compost on my garden soon. It's silent, no smell, sometimes we'll get a little food on the lid or the interior lid, but it's easy enough to wipe off with a cloth. Size is great - it's a little smaller than our regular garbage can, but it looks intentional and professional - it should appear legit wherever you put it. Crazy easy to use, after assembly and reading the instructions, you just put stuff in it. I'm impressed with how much food it can handle, and I (again) read the instructions - you can't just clean out your whole fridge at once and put stuff in there, but there have been a couple days where we put a 'reasonable' amount that was larger than cleanup from a regular meal, and it did just fine. Six months, no issues.

I live in an HOA where you're not allowed to have a compost pile in your backyard. But I've always composted all my kitchen scraps. This is perfect. It sits nicely in my kitchen where it is out of the way. It does not stink at all. It's efficient in how it composts materials. Word to the wise, however. You must cut your kitchen waste small. Banana peels left whole will turn into shoe leather. But if you cut them in 1-in strips they compost beautifully. We are getting about 5 quarts of compost a month. We bury it in our flower beds and our flowers are beautiful. Added benefit, it's a warm surface that my cats love to sit on.

The coolest thing about the GEME composter is that you continuously add food to the compost system and empty it when it gets full (typically every 2 months for a household of 5). Once full, it is ready to use in your garden as true finished compost.

It’s sleek, modern, and actually works.
Our boys love helping — and we love that it’s become a simple, meaningful family ritual.
We toss in the scraps… and a few hours later, we’re feeding our garden.

From scraps to soil to strawberries — they’re learning to give back to the earth… and getting to taste the difference. 🍓

If you’ve been compost-curious, this is the one 😎

I have been using it for a few months now. It is not a dehydrator, it does heat up the contents but usually keep it at around 60-70c. There is very little smell to it, if anything I say it smell like coffee grind. It does use electricity and everything from my kitchen goes into it except hard bones. I get cheap overnight electricity so I just turn it on with a smart plug at 12 midnight and auto turn off at 7am etc. It is not a compost bin for everyone and if you have open space or don't mind the labour work then outdoor heap is a lot simpler. I am lazy and just keep adding and once every 4 weeks takes out 2/3 of the content and use it in my garden.

We got a Geme while on sale. It was still expensive- about $700. We like it. We have a greenhouse & have composted our food waste for over 30 years. This makes real compost quickly & there is no bringing waste outside, turning compost, etc. we live in northern MN & now we’ll be able to compost all yr. round.
It’s not for everyone, mostly because it’s pricey. We cut stuff up so nothing is long enough to wrap around the mixers. Avoid putting fruit pits & most bones in it. …it’s great if you are ready to give up the riggers of outdoor composting & spend the $.

I live in a rural area on septic so I am very careful about what can go down the drain. Geme being the size of a normal kitchen trash can is super convenient to just scrap food waste into it and let it turn into great compost for my garden. Helps keep rotting food out of my trash to draw in predators to my chickens/dogs and lets me utilize my food waste instead of sending it off to a landfill. Customer service is excellent as well! I bought one of the earlier models available. One of the plastic gears bent after several months of frequent use so the chain that turns the rotor slipped off and the device was unable to churn the compost. I contacted Geme and they send me a newly designed, sturdier gear free of charge. It's nice to see a company that honors their warranty and is continually looking for customer feedback and flaws in their devices that they can upgrade! Super happy that the new gear could be retrofitted on to the new device instead of having to replace the entire unit to further reduce plastic/appliance waste ending up in landfills! Geme is worth every penny!

We are over 2 years (26 months) enjoying our GEME. It's awesome. I don't like wastefulness so being able to not only recycle our kitchen scraps but to reuse them in our garden has been really satisfying. I have lost track of the amount of compost we have been able to empty from GEME and use in our garden, but It's a lot. Maybe the equivalent of 2 to 3 large bags of compost that I used to buy from the garden store. If I think of the cost of buying compost, GEME is probably gonna pay for itself in another couple years. For FYI, compost is 'hot' so you shouldn't put it directly into your garden. We empty our GEME into a large plastic trash can and store outside for a 2-3 months to 'cool down' before we mix with our garden soil.The GEME is relatively quiet, like a hum. A bit louder than a modern refrigerator or in room air cooler/air cleaner. If I accidentally put too much moist waste in, then I can hit the dehydrator button and GEME dries the compost. If the compost has caked at the bottom because I put too much moist stuff in there, then I use the little scoop that it comes with, and I stirr the compost around. If it looks a little dry, I can add a bit of water. If it starts to smell, which is rare, I can press the deodorized button. Even though it is allowed, I choose not to put bones in GEME because even a small bone like a chicken leg can get caught in the blades, and it rubs against the liner and makes a loud squeaking sound, I choose not to wait for it to break down and compost.Maintenance cost is low. GEME does not require replaceable filters, which if anyone has priced those for other brands of composters, they are expensive. At the time when we first bought our GEME, small bags of GEME compost starter were not available, so we bought a small inexpensive bag of compost starter from Amazon, which lasted for about a year and a half. When we empty out our GEME we leave a little bit of compost in the bottom and add a couple tablespoons of compost starter to restart the process.There was no social media help for GEME when we first bought ours, so I monitored and still monitor social media support groups for the other brand composters. I've never had any of the troubles those other brands have. For example, on that other brand people have trouble with their liner melting and that's never happened with GEME. Pictures of compost for that other brand just look junkie. My GEME compost looks rich and fertile.I've read some of the reviews on here where people are having issues. I'll just say read the directions that come with the GEME. GEME is easy. No regrets and still feeling like I won a jackpot.

I was looking for a device to compost my cats poop, spent litter, and kitchen waste. I joked with my cats that it was time for them to stop living at home for free and pay their way. I already use other devices: Aerobin, FoodCycler, and Subpod. I wanted to separate the cats waste from the compost I use in my veggie garden. My plan was to use the cat waste only in flower beds away from edible plants.I read up on the Bokashi method. Some use this method in addition to vermicomposting for processing pet waste. I was looking to compost my cats poo using the bokashi method and then use GEME to heat treat. This device uses the aerobic fermentation method, which we call hot composting.During the fermentation, the GEME-Kobold (a heat-resistant composite microbial group) and the industrial-grade purification system can deodorize itself. If using bio-cat litter, you don't need to pre-treat it using the bokashi method and put it directly into GEME.I live in the Northern Hemisphere and must switch from composting outdoors in the spring and summer to indoors in the winter. Composting outdoors slows, and the vermicomposting worms who live outdoors in the Subpods are moved indoors for the winter to rest, eat, and produce worm castings, which will be used in the spring for starting seedlings.Of course you could dig a hole in the yard, insert a bucket with a top on, drill some holes. Once filled, you dig another hole in the yard and repeat the process. Given I live in a state with four seasons, once the ground freezes and snow take over, the only option is to throw the waste in the trash or store it until spring in an air tight container. Eau de poo, no thank you.At first the GEME worked fine, then after a couple of months it stopped processing the waste and began to pile up (see the before photo). I contacted the company. Upon reviewing my amateur photos and video, they knew what the problem was and quickly provided a solution by swapping out an old part for the new. I am one of the early users. A known defect with the first generation has since been correced and improved. It's now working again.In the past, I didn't include the cat litter. Different opinions made me cautious to add it, but a representative from the company said it was okay as long as it is bio waste. I use pine pellets. Since I live in the Northern Hemisphere, when the bin becomes full (during winter), I put the excess compost in a container to use in the spring.You may be looking at the price and asking yourself, "is it worth the cost?" I can tell you; it is worth the investment. I live in the Midwest, and my state has experienced drought the last two years. I learned by adding compost and topsoil, soil retains more water and reduces the amount of watering (I only use rain barrels). I no longer throw away kitchen waste, have reduced garbage going into the bin (less to lift), and spend less time pulling weeds out of the garden. It's been a win-win.

Je suis très satisfait de mon achat GEME 19 L en reconditionné par le fabricant super produit, surpris neuf sans trace d'utilisation, bien emballée, colis arrivé en super état , je suis agréablement surpris par son efficacité.

Je l’utilise principalement pour traiter de la litière végétale pour chats, avec les déjections (crottes) et l’urine. Je l'ai installé a côté de la caisse a du chat dans mon bureau. Lors de mon utilisation super résultat même dépasser mes attentent en terme d’efficacité et de rapidité le substrat est presque sans odeur . J'ai cumulé 3 à 4 semaines de litière usager dans un seau hermétique, j’ai traité environ 5 à 6 kg en 18 heures, en trois phases d’environ 6 heures. Je n’ai constaté ni odeur d’ammoniaque ni mauvaise odeur particulière, une légère odeur quand on ouvre la porte pour le remplir et le vider. Je recommande le seul composteur électrique qui accepte les déjections d'animaux .Bravo pour la conception et fabrication de produit de qualité et performant.
