   Ce seau a l’avantage d’être plutôt joli par rapport à d’autres, il s’intègre facilement dans une cuisine. Le couvercle doté d’un filtre anti-odeur a l’air efficace ; quand le seau est fermé aucun odeur s’en échappe. Je n’ai aucun problème à le nettoyer. Le seau correspond parfaitement à nos attentes.

   Es de acero inoxidable, duradero y fácil d limpiar. Hasta la fecha utilizaba un cubo de plástico de compostaje. El cambio ha sido muy bueno, aunque este es más pequeño y tengo que vaciarlo más a menudo.Para limpiarlo es mucho mejor.Tiro muchas cáscaras y restos de verduras y hortalizas. Tengo compostadores en el jardín de casa.Este recipiente lo tengo en la cocina, y la verdad es que es muy elegante.La única pega, el tamaño para mi, me gustaría más grande. Pero para un piso está bien.

   We have only had this a few days but so far are very impressed. It is very solid and well engineered with a quality finish – better than expected and as good as if not better I hoped for which doesn’t happen very often!! It looks great on the counter top. It is much higher quality than some bins I have seen. The sides are silid, and not flimsy, it is well balanced, not top heavy, and it has a brushed effect on the main bin section which looks great.The lid fits really well. I twist the top of the compost bags and knot at the side of the rim to stop them slipping down as there isn’t a hoop or other fixing, but I think this is perfectly fine. NIce and simple with no parts to lose or break. A big elastic band could be another option of you find it awkward to tie knots. Bins with holes in the lid like this are so much better than ones with solid tops as moisture does not build up inside, so there are no nasty drips when you lift the lid up. Yay! And the charcoal filter is very effective at stopping smells from onions etc. I am not sure if I will go to the expense of buying more when the one supplied and the spare run out, but probably will get a couple for the the height of summer.And for me, the BEST PART is having no plastic inner bucket or paint on the outside – just pure metal, keeping additives and pollution to a minimum (I hope). Plus, for me, the inner buckets always seem to get in the way. I would prefer UK made bin, but this seems to be impossible.If it were 10% bigger it would be completely perfect but the size is actually fine. It does say “Utopia Kitchen” on the lid in small-ish letters, which I think could be moved to the side, but on the other hand if I had made something as nice as this, I would want the logo to be seen as well!I have been looking for a bin like this for a long time and am really happy with it. I hope this lasts as long as it looks like it should! Hurrah!!

   Sehr hübsch und super Größe.Nachdem ich mir die Rezensionen durchgelesen hatte, war ich etwas hin und her gerissen. Aber der Eimer entspricht absolut meinen Erwartungen und meinen Ansprüchen. Optisch macht er einen sehr hübschen Eindruck und vom reinigungsaufwand ist er super. Einfach auswaschen fertig.Den Härtetest hat er geruchsmässig ebenfalls mit sehr gut bestanden. Ich habe Essig-Gewürz-Gurken hineingegeben und ihn extra Tage lang in der Küche stehen lassen. Da kam gar nichts an Geruch heraus, erst wenn man den Deckel hoch nahm.Der Deckel hat im übrigen keine Gummilippe und schließt nicht dicht ab, denn es sind ja Löcher im Deckel, die mit der Kohlematte versehen sind. Es kann also gar kein Unterdruck entstehen, sodass man sehr wohl mit nur einer Hand und ohne Kraftaufwand den Deckel anheben kann, um mit der anderen Hand die Bioabfälle einzufüllen.Die kohlematte lässt sich mit etwas Geschick gut herausnehmen und die neue wieder einsetzen.Ich denke, wenn man etwas aufpasst, dass der Rand sauber bleibt und der Deckel nicht vollkommen schmutzig wird, wird der Eimer kaum Probleme bereiten und sehr lange halten.Da man ihn heiß abwaschen kann und er keine Unmengen hineinfüllen kann, muss man ihn sicher nicht in die Spülmaschine stecken.Als Fazit: meiner Meinung nach ist dies ein wirklich guter Komposteimer und sein Geld auch wert.

   Much needed, especially in California
   Finally after setting aside bowls and plates daily for so long. No longer do I have to tell my kid to put his apple cores in some random container that changes. Such a great price, I don’t know why I didnt get it sooner. As a family of four we will empty it into the green bin each day or now with this covered, filtered bin, it can be missed. The filter is larger than I thought it would be, which is great to cover all the smells! It looks good, matching the muted silver tones of our other kitchen pieces. It feels like good quality and definitely functional.Before it became a requirement in CA, we started composting–now that ut is a requirement, we put it all in the green waste bin since we never fully figured out how to make dirt. Still, its good to prevent greenhouse gases.

   Attractive and works well
   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.

   Cheap and awesome.
   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.

    Works Well
    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.

    Sleek and Efficient Composting Solution!
    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!

    Nice and Neat
    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.

    Love this good quality food scrap can!
    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!
