You have to add the pellets, which are included. Otherwise you get jams and odors. Mine works pretty well so far and I've made about 10 batches over the last year. Once in a while I forget to add enough pellets and it starts to get a little musty and I add the pellets and then it is fine. Shelley – try reading the instructions.

It works to make compost when the unit is working. And it does it well. However, my first unit lasted three months before breaking. The company sent me a new one, but it broke in about three months as well. Both times the units broke. They stopped automatically opening the trap door to dump the finished product, which meant to make it work I had to manually remove the compost from the machine. The second unit now has broken beyond usage now after six months running. I have given up on the product. I don't want another one. More than the fragility of it, the thing truly stinks. A terrible stench comes from it. I grew up on a cattle farm and we had pigs from time to time, but even I cannot stand the smell. It drips juice which then molds in the tray and STINKS! Dumping it is an awful messy chore. Actually dumping the compost by hand is an awful messy chore. I'm so disappointed because the thing had really potential, but I've given it a year of babysitting and care and I'm over the mess. Moving on to other options. I’ve had one of these for a year.
