3.0 out of 5 stars Stainless steel would be better, August 22, 2007

We bought this thinking it would look better than stainless steel. We love to compost and this pail sure beats keeping a bucket on the counter. However, it is heavy and the handle is poorly made. When you life up the handle it comes off of the clunky clips on the side. This really needs to be redesigned.

We removed the poor handle after the first trip to the compost. The ceramic is not only heavy, but it is also much harder to keep clean that the stainless steel. The ceramic tends to pick up stains which are hard to scrub out. And of course there is always the fear of breaking it.

As long as the filter is kept clean and fresh, the pail emits no odors. Whether you choose stainless steel or ceramic, make sure you buy some extra filters. You'll be happy you did.

I purchased this product after already owning the stainless version for a year. I gave the stainless to someone else because this white ceramic pedestal - looking object seemed to fit with my decor better. But what I've found is, (1) I am for the first time a bit nervous about breaking it or breaking glass tea pots when I shake the loose tea into this container, (2) it is certainly heavier than the stainless when lugging it (the weight is not a deal breaker), and (3) it does not seem to seal around the edge of the top anywhere as well as its stainless counterpart resulting in fruit flies getting attracted to it and actually inside on a regular basis - something that seemed to happen less with the stainless one. So carbon filter helps a lot but the leaky cover undermines the filter.

Still compared to not having either choice and seeing how nicely made this object is, it gets the benefit of just over half credit in my scoring.

I'd go back to stainless in a heartbeat when I feel the moment has come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks great on the counter, March 31, 2008

We love how this looks on our counter, and it does a great job of keeping the kitchen scraps nicely contained. The filter at the top really works-- there is NO odor, even after a week or so of collecting vegetable scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, and the like.

My only complaint is about the handle. If I'm not careful, it will come unhinged from one side as I'm carrying it--which is not something I want to happen on my way outside to the compost pile! I have learned to be very careful when carrying it.
