Do you have one? Would you? Our compost just consists of a pail we dump out into the woods. Every so often I turn it to help decompose faster but we get a lot of creatures here who eat much of the scraps.

Not sure I'd have an electric composter....would want to know more about them. We have a garden and it's easy to compost our food scraps that way.

Don't need one. We compost easily here.

I think Electric composters are good for composting waste materials. I had manual composter however it takes a lot of time to fully compost mean more than 30 days.

what is the difference between these two?

An Electric one heats it artificially. The Manual one, you rely on Mother Nature. The Electric ones seem quite small for the average household.

These seem quite nice for apartments and such to support a balcony or container garden. I'm not sure if it would be worth it for a larger garden or really offer much over an outdoor compost setup, but we all know some people deal with neighbors that will immediately report compost smells and others don't have true yards... so they will likely have a place.
