KitchenCraft Living Nostalgia Metal Kitchen Composter Antik-Cremeweiß, Cream

I love the look of this bin that I bought for my kitchen. Great for compost. Smell absorber in the top is working great. It seals well too. I put compostable bags in to make cleaning easier. It is a good size for a small bin

This bin has been excellent until I managed to throw out the lid (which is prone to falling into the bin) out with the waste on bin collection day this week - no chance to retrieve ! So I’m purchasing another and the lidless bin will be relegated to garden duties. Good bin, very stylish, lovely colour, robust.

For my purposes, this is ideal, but others might want something different.Purchased July 2023, now March 2024 and I'm still really happy with the product.This bin quickly attracted loads of fruit flies, because it has holes in the lid. I have no clue why they put holes in it. Using a carbon filter was completely useless, you just get all the odour still plus fruit flies, so I just taped up the lid inside with packaging tape. Only had to do this once and the tape has stayed on. I've had zero issues with flies/odour around the bin ever since.The bin is pretty small (see photo with banana for size comparison lol), but it's perfect for me in a household where we cook at least 2 meals per day that generate fruit and veg scraps. I have to empty it once per day.The lid: there is a narrow rubber strip set into the lip of the lid (see photo). This is to create a seal to prevent odour from escaping. This works fine, however be aware that food will get stuck under the rubber seal and you'll need to remove the rubber strip and scrub everything, then put the seal back on. Over time, I can see the seal will probably wear out quite quickly doing this, which is a downside, however for the time being it the rubber seal is not deteriorating, and it does work to keep odour in the bin.Another review mentioned rusting on the lid, and it's true it will get some rust on it, however if you look at my pictures you'll see it's not too bad. Zero rusting inside the bin, and I wash mine out just with water every day.This metal bin definitely beats buying a plastic one. It's great environmentally speaking, and aesthetically it has a classy old-time appeal.Great for the price.

Neat and very useful.

Nicely made and works well

Looks nice but very small and lid doesn't fit properly.

Does the job and looks great

Very well made.
