Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Conveniently store food scraps in this odor-eliminating container before transferring them to an outside composter. The unit works great for egg shells, peelings, coffee grounds, and more, while its stainless-steel handle ensures simple transport. In addition, the unit's tight-fitting lid holds a charcoal filter for odor-free use for up to six months, plus offers a center knob for easy lid removal. The container fits under the sink, but with its durable stainless-steel construction and beautiful satin finish, it's attractive enough to leave out on the countertop. The surface cleans quickly with a soapy sponge. The container measures 7 by 7 by 11 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed!, May 30, 2007

Although this appears to be nothing more than an expensive stainless steel bucket, it is perfect for my kitchen scrap storage. The filter really does keep the odor from my kitchen. I find it can hold about a week's worth of scraps (unless I get crazy cooking). The wide mouth allows me to put the vegie peels or coffee grounds in without touching anything inside or spilling it all over the counter. It's easy to empty, and easy to clean. It looks nice on my countertop, unlike the plastic pail I had previously. I have had this for about 6 weeks now, and the filter appears to be working just fine. I will have to find out about replacements.

4.0 out of 5 stars love it, February 12, 2007

This is a great, no smell, easy to carry, empty, and clean compost container solution. I have not looked in to replacing the charcoal filters. If that is reasonably priced and available, this is a five star item.

EDIT: Yes, we've been using this for a long time now and it IS a five star product. Not because the filters are "reasonably priced and available", but because I found you can wash the filters with dish soap, air dry. and they are good for weeks or months again!

1.0 out of 5 stars So many good qualities, but one terrible flaw, December 5, 2007

Initially, I loved this composter- the lid fits tightly and is easy to open with one hand. It looks OK on the counter. It is light and well designed for carrying. BUT the holes in the lid are large and it quickly became a fruit fly magnet. It was such a disappointment. I am going to go back to using a cylindrical truly airtight container.
