Utopia Kitchen Compost Bin for Kitchen Countertop, 1.3 Gallon Compost Bucket for Kitchen with Lid, Includes 1 Spare Charcoal Filter, Home Essentials - (Silver)

Use it everyday. The nicely weighted stainless steel and modern design makes it look good sitting on the counter and it also fits well under the sink. Lid has charcoal filter inserts which can be used for quite a long time and are easily replaced. Strong handle makes it easy to carry over to my food preparation area, which may end up being in different places in the kitchen depending on what I’m making. I do place 3 gallon compostable food scrap bags inside simply because it’s easier for me to remove and tie and throw them into my organic recycle bin when full. I put a folded paper towel at the bottom before I put the new food scrap bag in, and at least rinse the can out and dry before putting a new bag in mainly because I don’t fill it up except every couple of days and some condensation from the bags can result. Takes only a minute. But using a bag is not necessary at all if you want to just dump the contents into the trashcan directly or compost pile if you have one, because the can is easily washable like any stainless steel pot or bowl. Lid is very tight so no smells are released plus never have had any unwanted creatures finding their way into it. Ordered a different brand/type originally that rusted. This one still looks brand new and it is one of my most-used kitchen accessories. Thank you!

The media could not be loaded. I recently introduced this stylish compost bin to my kitchen countertop, and I must say, it's been a revelation. No longer do I have to deal with the inconvenience of frequent trips to the outdoor compost pile every time I chop vegetables or brew coffee. This compact 1.3-gallon bucket fits perfectly in my kitchen, blending in with the appliances while offering an easy and odor-free way to collect organic waste.The inclusion of a charcoal filter was a genius touch. It effectively traps and neutralizes odors, which was a major concern of mine before making the purchase. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my kitchen remains fresh, without the faintest hint of compost smell. Plus, it came with a spare filter, ensuring I'm set for many months of use before needing a replacement.Its silver finish gives it a modern look that compliments my kitchen decor beautifully, proving that compost bins can be both functional and fashionable. The lid fits snugly, yet it's easy to lift off when adding scraps or emptying the bin, making it a hassle-free addition to my daily routine.This compost bin has not only made composting more convenient but has also encouraged me to be more mindful of my waste, knowing that my scraps are going towards a good cause. Five stars for this efficient, stylish, and odor-free solution to kitchen composting!

Saw a silver container at my sister's house. Price reasonable and beautiful, that I got one for my kitchen that matched my black appliances.It's filter odor tight, compact with a nice design. It's air tight, avoiding attracting ANTS. Blends perfect with knobs, and black faucet. Earth comp. friendly baggies to avoid washing.

This little bin looks good, doesn't take up a lot of space, and controls odors. It holds a goodly amount of scraps so you aren't constantly having to empty it. The only thing that is slightly inconvenient is washing the filter, it has awhward insets that holds the filters in place that are difficult to wash and dry. However I would recommend this product to a friend the benefits outweigh the inconvenience.

This thing is fantastic. It's tall with a reasonably wide mouth. Somehow it's high capacity without taking up too much counter space. I really appreciate that it is all stainless steel. Meaning, it will easily clean up with a run in the dishwasher. The top has a filter and fits loosely. I'm picky about smell and bugs and the top keeps the smell contained and there has been no gnat activity in the area of the bin. Overall, a huge upgrade from our old plastic bin. And it looks shiny on our counter top.

Minimum smell leakage, easy to clean and fits nicely under the kitchen sink.

This is an attractive good-sized countertop foodscraps bin. The top fits well and there is no smell when it is closed. My only suggestion if you are using compostable bags in them is that I bought the same size bags as the bin — 1.3 gallon — and they were too small, leaked and kept falling inside. Then I bought another bag at 1.6 gallon with handles you can tie and they work much better. They almost never leak and I don't need to clean the bin very often.

No smell way to hold your compost on the counter for a few days. It has a clean, attractive appearance. Love this so much, I am buying more for my friends.
