Joseph Joseph Intelligent Waste Compost Bin Food Waste Caddy with Odor Filter and Ventilation, 1 gallon / 4 liters, Graphite

I'm really happy with this compost bin. It is a perfect size for my kitchen. It is designed to have airflow, which is absolutely critical for odor, moisture and mold growth. The lid opens easily and the handle is very sturdy. I use the produce bag liners I already get from buying produce in the grocery store. It's not a perfect fit but I feel like it still works well.The charcoal pad helps with odors too, however, I have found that compartment to be harder to access. Tip: if your charcoal filter smells sour, you have too much moisture in your bin. Replace the charcoal pad and either air out or manage the moisture better.

I've been using this for about a week after being very resistant to saving food scraps. I like the size - it's perfect for daily use. Our city has us add scraps to our green/landscape bin so composting is fairly straight forward. The countertop bin they provided us was just absolutely terrible so I've been hunting for a decent replacement ever since. This looks really nice in the kitchen, you wouldn't know it was full of food scraps. It's a good size, it's small so it doesn't take up too much space, but roomy and really easy to clean. The lid opens up nicely and is lightweight so it doesn't tip the bin (like the city provided one did...) The metal handle is also a great upgraded feature. It just feels sturdy and well made. It's still winter so the bugs aren't out yet, so I'm not sure how well this will deter pests. I'll update if we end up with a fruit fly problem.

We have been using this compost bin in our kitchen for over 1 year and we are so happy we chose this one. It has a large enough lid opening to easily place food scraps. Plus, the lid stays open when you lift it all the way up. Our kitchen never has a bad food odor anymore thanks to placing all of our compostable items in this bin. Non-compostable items are the only things that now go in our garbage bin. This really helps trap and eliminate any bad food odors; even onions!!!

Not a very big container. The bags do not stay in place well and I’ve tried a few ways to try toget them to stay put. No luck so far. It’s a cute container and does look nice on my counter.

Like eeeeeeveryone, I had the giant silver gallon bucket with the double-filter lid...that required me to have one clean hand to lift the lid AND set the lid down on the counter (eww), so I am thrilled to have found this cutie! I can flip the lid up with a knuckle, and don’t have to sit a lid down on anything else. It’s the little things! 🤪This IS much smaller than my last one, but I prefer that for two reasons: (1) I’m tossing my compost more often, so it remains “fresher;” and (2) I have enough bag left to properly tie it off before tossing into the green (curbside compost) bin. It also has a low profile on the counter. This thing is also super easy to clean! It does “sweat” a bit. I put a paper towel in the bottom of the bin before putting in a fresh bag.If ever there was an attractive compost bucket, this is it.

I use this as a trash can in my car. Perfect size, easy to clean, no smell, the color is nice and it’s really solid.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Handy little composter to collect scraps before taking it out to the big composter in the garden. Don’t wait too long to dump. The foods do start to break down and the filter might start to grow mold and the bag will start to leak. It is about finding the perfect routine.

This countertop compost container is awesome. It is compact and well designed. The best thing is their is never any odor even with garlic and onions. I’ve not seen one fruit fly since getting it. It is easy to clean and to replace the bags. I bought 1 1/2 gallon bags because they were cheaper and work fine. It hold a lot more than you’d think. I work at a farm and cook tons of vegetables. It’s a great buy.
