Reencle Essential is the compact, entry-level Reencle — the lightest in the range at 19.6 lbs and sized for 1–2 person homes. No app, no foot sensor, no fuss: just the same living-microbe composting that turns scraps into real compost in about 30 days.

Reencle uses a living colony of ReencleMicrobe™ to ferment food scraps into real, usable compost — not the dried, ground-up scraps other countertop machines make. Finished compost is ready in about 30 days.

Built to be the easy one

• Lightest at 19.6 lbs — move it with one hand
• Quiet at 27 dB — unobtrusive on a countertop
• About $1.50 a month to run — roughly 0.9 kWh a day
• Improved heating system for steadier fermentation and lower running cost
• Improved odor control with activated carbon filtration

How it works

1. Drop it in. Any scraps — even meat and dairy.
2. Let it work. Microbes break it down 24/7, odor-free.
3. Use your compost. Rich compost in about 30 days; harvest every 1–3 months.

What you can put in

• Fruit and vegetable scraps, peels and rinds
• Cooked leftovers, rice, pasta and bread
• Meat, fish and dairy — the things a backyard pile can’t take
• Citrus, coffee grounds and eggshells

Do not add: bones of any size, large pits (peach, avocado), hard shells, or excess liquid.

No pods, no refills, no subscription

The microbes replicate themselves as they work, so you don’t replace them on a schedule. Your only routine consumable is the activated carbon filter, which is replaced every 9–12 months.
