| 1 |
Takes in daily kitchen waste easily. |
Provide an accessible input hopper with sufficient volume capacity. |
| 2 |
Breaks down large pieces of food. |
Implement a mechanical shredding or grinding mechanism. |
| 3 |
Mixes the waste automatically. |
Incorporate an automated motor-driven agitator or rotating shaft. |
| 4 |
Does not produce bad smells in the house. |
Integrate a carbon-based odor filtration and ventilation system. |
| 5 |
Safe to use (won't hurt hands when open). |
Install safety interlock switches that cut power when the lid is opened. |
| 6 |
Turns waste into compost quickly. |
Optimize internal heating and aeration to accelerate microbial decomposition. |
| 7 |
Easy to remove the finished compost. |
Design an accessible, easily removable discharge tray. |
| 8 |
Operates quietly without disturbing the house. |
Utilize acoustic dampening materials and low-decibel motors. |
| 9 |
Does not use too much electricity. |
Optimize heating elements and motor duty cycles for energy efficiency. |
| 10 |
Easy to clean the inside of the machine. |
Use non-stick, corrosion-resistant internal materials. |
| 11 |
Tells the user when the compost is ready. |
Implement sensor-based indicators (time/moisture) with an LED UI alert. |
| 12 |
Prevents the compost from becoming too soggy. |
Incorporate a leachate (liquid) drainage and collection mechanism. |
| 13 |
Fits easily in a kitchen or balcony (compact). |
Optimize internal component layout to minimize the overall footprint. |
