Customer Reviews

Good Compost Bucket
I suppose you could use anything for holding food scraps but this bucket seems perfect in every way. It's light and not too big, thus saving kitchen counter space. It holds just enough. By that I mean, in a household of three, we generate enough compostable scrap to fill the bucket before the first scraps to go in begin to rot. The lid fits down tight if you want to prevent fruit nats and flies from finding your scraps and so far the ants haven't noticed it either. We are happy with our buy which replaced a stylish but cumbersome and now rusting (hummm...) galvanized pail.

A great no-smell and large-enough compost bin
I got two of these, one for my house and one for my GF's. They are both great. The simple design makes them sturdy, easy to clean and large enough for a few days to a week of compost. The activated charcoal filter works perfectly. I have mine on a hook at nose level and even if I walk up to it, I can't smell the junk inside. It dumps like a charm, making emptying easy and I never have to deal with stuck on food or coffee grounds in cracks or nooks. It's a great product that does what it should.

Pros:
-Large enough for a family that cooks
-Easy to clean
-No-smell filter really works
-Easy to open with one hand

Cons:
-Not pretty
-Doesn't empty itself out back when you ask it to nicely.
-Handle seems like it might pop off with a heavy load, but it hasn't yet.

Not fancy......
.......but it does the job. Eliminates ordors, light, compact, easy to tote to the composter. Glad I purchased it, also got the replacement filters at the same time. Each filter good for 3 months.......
I'm very satisfied with this product.
