it’s cyber monday It’s almost over, but WIRED’s review team is still scouring the web for the best deals on everything from Kindle devices to beauty products. I recently spotted this excellent sale on Wego’s kitchen composter, which has been crowned fastest breakdown in our guide to the best kitchen composters and food recyclers. These types of machines are almost never available for less than $300, but the Wego is priced at just $289 for Cyber Monday.
Plus, most of Wego’s gardening and compost supplies are discounted on Amazon and the brand’s website, so now is the perfect time to make a purchase for yourself or a giftee.

Note that even though the Wego is called a composter, it doesn’t actually compost; It simply grinds and dries your leftover food. However, it will reduce the amount of your kitchen waste by 90 percent, and the resulting odor-free “Vego Meal” (seen below from Express Mode) can be used to spruce up your lawn, mixed with potting soil as a nutritional amendment, or simply put back into your trash (albeit with more space).
