I'm very happy with this compost pail. It's big enough that I don't need to empty it more than once a week (we're a family of 4, mostly vegetarians). It seems very sturdy. The filter is working great, I've never smelled anything. I haven't seen a single fruit fly either.

I was very happy with the compost pail when I first got it. It was large, just right for the countertop. It was easy to clean. The handle could be used to hold the lid up during meal prep when you sometimes don't have two hands to open the lid. After about two weeks, a crack developed in the bottom along one of the diagonal ridges that are on the bottom of the pail. The pail was not abused in any way. It seemed a bit premature to have the pail crack so soon. A crack on the bottom is the worst place because then it leaks all over the counter. I will attempt to write to the manufacturer and ask for a replacement. I will report back on the results.
FOLLOW-UP: I called Amazon and they were willing to send out a replacement. It seemed silly to have to return the old one but I did as the customer representative asked. I changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars because I was happy with Amazon's service.
