Vego’s Food Recycler Is the Cheapest We’ve Ever Seen it Right Now (2025)

Cyber ​​Monday is almost finished, but WIRED’s Reviews team is still scouring the web for the best deals on everything from Kindle devices to beauty products. I just came across this excellent sale on the Vego kitchen composter, crowned Fastest Troubleshooter in our guide to the best kitchen composters and recyclers. These types of machines are almost never available for less than $300, but the Vego is only $289 for Cyber ​​Monday.

Plus, most of Vego’s gardening and composting supplies are on sale on Amazon and on the brand’s website, so now’s a great time to take a look, either for yourself or as a gift.

Note that although the Vego is called a composter, it does not actually produce compost; it simply grinds and dries your food scraps. However, it will reduce the volume of your kitchen waste by up to 90 percent, and the resulting odorless “Vego meal” (seen below, in Express mode) can be used to dress your lawn, can be mixed with potting soil as a nutritional amendment, or can simply be returned to your trash cans (albeit with much more space).
