The Composter Lab.
Plan a composting cycle on any of our six SKUs. Pick the waste, pick a load size, pick a cycle mode — the Lab calculates the total run time, the soil-amendment yield, and the CO₂e you avoided by composting instead of binning.

A web-ready preview today. The next step is a chip in the composter that pings this Lab so the timer and notifications run off your actual unit — not a simulation.
Pick your composter tier
What are you composting?
Multi-select. Harder items extend the grind cycle.
How much waste?
Pick a cycle mode
Real cycle times from the factory floor.
Every base cycle time in this Lab is taken directly from the official GoldHot factory specification sheet, dated 2026-04-13. Premium-tier (CY06 / CY08 / CY11) cycles run ≈30 % faster than the Entry tier thanks to the BLDC brushless motor and 10-blade cutter; Standard tier (CY02 / CY03) runs ≈10 % faster. Harder inputs — bones, pits, eggshells — extend the grind stage; we blend a weighted maximum + mean factor across your selected waste types to estimate the realistic duration.
- CO₂e avoided per kg of food waste diverted2.5 kg
- Weight reduction ratio (Premium)90 %
- Passenger car CO₂e / km (US fleet avg)0.158 kg
- Tree CO₂ absorption (mature deciduous)0.06 kg / day
