Real compost. The CY02 ferments waste with thermophilic microbes in the 55-60°C range, the same biological process a backyard compost heap runs, just contained and faster. Output is dark, crumbly, microbially active soil amendment. That is the key category line: dehydrator-grinders (Lomi, Mill, Vitamix FoodCycler) heat food to 100°C+ and pulverise it into dry powder, that is not compost, just shrunken landfill. We chose microbial fermentation because the output actually feeds soil.

Food waste goes into a sealed, insulated chamber. The CY02 maintains the 55-60°C window thermophilic compost microbes need, gently aerates and tumbles the load so oxygen reaches the whole batch, and runs the cycle until the biology has done its job, typically 12-48 hours depending on input. Output is finished or near-finished compost: dark, earth-smelling, ready to top-dress houseplants or blend into garden soil at a 1:10 ratio.

The CY02 draws roughly 0.6-1.2 kWh per full cycle in normal mode. At the U.S. average rate of $0.16 / kWh that is about $0.10-$0.20 per cycle. A typical household runs 2-3 cycles per week, so roughly $1-$2 per month in electricity, meaningfully less than the bag liner + landfill fee a kitchen trash can replaces.

Yes. Because the CY02 produces real compost rather than dehydrated food, the output is safe to apply directly: top-dress houseplants up to 1 cm, blend into potting mix at 1:10, or side-dress garden beds. Real-compost output is also low-odour because the microbes have already finished the smelly part, the volatile fatty acids that make raw food scraps reek.

12-48 hours depending on input. Soft inputs (fruit, vegetables, coffee grounds) finish in 12-18 hours; mixed loads with meat or dairy run 24-36 hours; bone-heavy or dense loads can take 48. This is longer than a dehydrator-grinder (3-8 hours), but a dehydrator is not making compost; it is making dry powder that still has to be composted elsewhere.

Yes, when it makes real compost. Food sent to landfill produces methane, a greenhouse gas roughly 80× more potent than CO₂ over 20 years. A real-compost composter prevents that emission and returns nutrients to the soil cycle, both of which a dehydrator-grinder does not (its output, if landfilled, still becomes methane source). The CY02's electricity use is small compared to the methane offset of diverting food waste.

Whole bones, large pits (avocado, mango), shells, citrus peels in bulk, and oils above ~50 ml per cycle. The microbes handle everything a backyard hot-compost pile handles, including meat, dairy, and cooked food, which a passive countertop bin cannot. Detailed Do / Don't list ships with the user manual; OEM partners receive an editable buyer-facing version for their packaging.

For a household that already separates food waste, yes. The CY02 replaces a smelly compost bin or weekly trips to a green-bin, produces usable compost rather than waste, and pays back the unit cost in 18-30 months versus landfill fees and bag liners in most U.S. metros. For wholesale and OEM partners, the answer depends on category, real-compost composters command 1.5-2× the retail price of dehydrator-grinders because the output category is meaningfully different.
