Kitchen space can be oh-so-valuable but there always seems to be a new gadget or gizmo popping up to compete for that precious space. But for every new appliance that earns its place among the crowd like the Instant Pot and air fryer there’s the all-too-common purchase that showed so much promise but after a few mediocre uses ends up being pawned off on family and friends or simply thrown out to make room for something better.

The Mill Food Recycler | ECO9

And then there’s the Mill food recycler courtesy of the brains behind the nifty Nest smart thermostat that’s a waste management system in its own right. While it looks like a standard trash can albeit a flashy one with a sleek white base and faux maple lid there’s a lot more going on than meets the eye. With promises of waste shrinkage odor elimination and eco-improvement I decided to put the Mill (the recently released version 2.0 to be exact) through its paces and see if it’s worth its hefty price tag.

This review is based on personal impressions of the manufacturer's promotional materials and products.

Food recyclers are a small but growing space with startups like Lomi and larger brands like Vitamix getting in on the action. While most options are compact and fit on your countertop the folks at Mill decided to think big and offer a 6.5-quart capacity so you don’t have to constantly dump out your coffee grounds. (According to the company it can handle 40 pounds of wet leftovers after the machine has done its magic.)
