4.0 out of 5 stars nice size, but the lid doesn't fit tightly, October 4, 2009

This review is from: RSVP International Endurance Endurance Jumbo Compost Pail lARGE 1.5-gallon Size (Kitchen)

I was looking for a pail that was attractive enough to sit on the counter but large enough to reduce the trips to the compost bin (I have the compostumbler...highly recommended). I had a ceramic pail before but found it too small and heavy, and a hassle to clean. This one works well, and would get 5 stars were it not for the fact that the lid doesn't seal. I don't know if that's a design problem or if I just got a bad one, but it's a problem because it allows tiny fruit flies to get in. But I haven't seen another one this size, so I'll stick with it.

As we did not want a "garbage can look" on our kitchen counter, we bought the RSVP International Jumbo Compost Pail, 1.5 gallon size, with "under the sink" in mind. It looks great THERE. Going up from the more traditional 1-gallon size, this pail's advantage is fewer trips to the compost outside. It's easy to clean and offers a filter on the inside of the pail cover as well.

One caveat, however: After only three weeks use, I took it outside, inverted it to empty the contents, and discovered that the screw holding the left side of the handle had popped out. Lucky for me, both screw and nut fell into the pail and did not disappear in a pile of grass clippings, melon skins, apple cores, coffee grounds, egg shells, (etc.). You might not be as lucky.

Moral? The handle construction might be the Achille's heel of this product. If you buy it, check the screws on the handles for tightness, then recheck them periodically. Beyond that, we've been nothing but pleased.

for years i have been using a covered plastic pail to store kitchen scraps and housed it under the sink. this pail is much bigger than the one i was using, much more attractive (not that it matters. i still keep it under the sink), and really does help with the smell. i am quite pleased with the quality.
