When purchasing the FoodCycler, keep the space requirements in mind when thinking about how and how often you plan to use it. As long as the temperature is above freezing where you store the appliance, the FoodCycler will operate properly. You could also store the small appliance in your basement, garage, or even on a balcony when it’s not too hot or cold outside. Unless you have a lot of empty counter space, you’re probably not going to want the FoodCycler appliance residing on your counter. It’s large enough that I did not want it taking up counter space. We keep our FoodCycler appliance on a shelf in the room next to our kitchen. We’ve stored food scraps like tuna fish and chicken bits in the bucket for several days before running the FoodCycler and haven’t had any issues at all with unpleasant smells. The carbon filter in the lid prevents any smells from escaping into our kitchen. The food scrap bucket has a carbon-filter lid and is much smaller than the appliance so we keep the bucket on our countertop for daily food scrap collection.

We store the FoodCycler appliance separately from the food scrap bucket.
