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

This thing is great - you can flip up the lid and close it to keep the smell at bay - we rarely have food in it for more than 24hrs, so I don't know how well the odor gets absorbed. It stores easily under the sink and you can grab it easily with the handle. When you are ready to dump, the lid/handle comes off to dump with ease.

I am a huge fan of anything Joseph Joseph. Their designs are very intelligent. This fits well on the counter and is not obtrusive. It is easy to clean. We use compostable bags and empty it daily, so smell is not an issue. The lid stands up on it's own and it is easy to replace the bags. It is lightweight, so it is easy to move around the counter if you have different food prep areas.

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.

The material used seems to be durable. It is very easy to clean and offers an easy way to remove the garbage. However, there are points of entry for flies which allows them to get inside and lay eggs, resulting in a pool of maggots after a few days. Luckily the smell does not escape, meaning that the filter is doing its job well. If I could DIY a fix to this small issue, I would give it a higher rating.

Had a bigger, but cheaper one that got fruit flies fast. So far this one has not but it is small.

I purchased the stone color countertop model a couple of months ago, once I decided it was finally time to start separating and recycling my food waste (we have a municipal collection program). This model was more expensive than some others I considered, but it looked sturdier and more attractive. I'm extremely pleased with it. I keep the bin on my countertop next to my cutting board and I don't mind the look of it at all. It is easy to use (lid has a convenient tab for opening and it stays propped open well when you're chopping etc., and the size of the bin is perfect for my family (which ranges from 2-5 people depending on who is around). When the lid is closed, the bin is odor-proof. I ended up buying the FORID 1.2 gallon small compostible bags as liners and they work well. You can twist the excess bag length and catch it in the designated hole in the base of the bin to keep the bag tight. All in all, a great product.

I know this is a compost bin but I needed something a little bigger than a desk top trash can I know it's unconventional but I use it as a trash can when im scooping my cats litter box ( I don't like holding the doggie bags when im scooping) it's wide enough so I don't drop any litter or gross stuff on the floor and plenty of inches in space left all around where the litter scoop doesn't touch the sides I have a 5.2 inch litter scoop. It is small and compact enough that it doesn't take up a whole lot of room but deep enough to hold a good amout of litter or other things for what you will be using it for. The lid stays up perfectly im not sure about smell since im not using it as a compost bin but I do not leave the scooped litter in there I take it out after and replace the bag for the next scoop. So i cant say anything about keeping smells out but For me this little bin is amazing and perfect for what I was looking for and what i need. It feels very sturdy. Super easy to clean and give it a good wash. Not really any assembly needed just pop the lid on and off the part where you put the charcoal filter you squeeze and push out if anyone is having trouble with that but super easy once you get the hang of it. The bin was a bit pricey but personally for me and what I needed to use it for was well worth the price I have a attached a video I use the doggie bags jumbo size 15 x 20 inches and it fits perfect.

This is a great size and not too unsightly for keeping on the kitchen countertop. Keeps smells in pretty well! Works with or without liner bags. Easy to clean. The carbon filter square gets gross pretty easily, and when it's removed from the lid for cleaning, fruit flies start accumulating. So I'd recommend having replacement squares on hand.

Excellent little handy bin. Very happy with it

Bra och luktfri Läcker vätska då och då

Muy útil y bonito. Fiel a la marca.

A very good design. Lid opens up underneath my low wall cupboards. The optional liner holds all the compostable waste securely. There are no smells either. I tacked on the extra filters but they are washable.
