Why does nobody mention how much a $25 bokashi bin cuts down the smell? | Apartment Composting

I almost skipped the bokashi thing because I thought a sealed bucket under my sink in a 500 sq ft studio would stink up the whole place, so I bought a cheap $25 one on a whim last month. Six weeks in and my kitchen trash barely smells at all now, plus I'm not running bags down three flights every other day. I was sure the bran and the juice would be a hassle, but it takes me maybe two minutes a night. What finally sold me was opening the lid after a week of veggie scraps and coffee grounds and getting almost nothing, just a little pickle smell. Has anyone else had the juice get funky if you forget to drain it, and does it matter if I skip a week?
