Countertop bokashi vs. electric composter: which one actually works in a small apartment?

I spent 4 months in a 500 sq ft studio in Chicago testing both a bokashi bucket and a Lomi electric composter. The bokashi handled more types of food waste like citrus and dairy, but it needed a special bin and soil for finishing. The Lomi was faster and less smelly, but it cost $400 and the end result was more like dry crumbs than real compost. Anyone else have a preference between these two approaches for apartment living?

Man, I totally feel your pain. The whole trial and error thing is brutal.

bokashi’s gross but way more useful, honestly.
