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!

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.

We paid the premium price for this product because it is supposed to be made of stainless steel. However, the speed with which this thin metal bucket begins to rust would seem to indicate that it is NOT made of stainless steel, or it is made from the cheapest grade of stainless steel possible.
We really liked the idea of the filter in the lid, and it did look nice on the counter (for a while). Was definitely an upgrade from the cheap, plastic eyesore of a pail we had before.
HOWEVER, when you pay nearly $40.00 for a product because it is supposed to be made of stainless steel, you should expect it to last like a good piece of silverware. This does not.
Buy something cheaper, you are wasting your money on this one.
UPDATE- May 2012 - The sides of this Chinese piece of engineering have now rusted through. We woke up this morning to a puddle of brown "compost juice" all over our counter because this bucket is now leaking. Apparently the rust has gotten the best of it and there is a pinhole leak in it. Today our compost bin will be going in the recycle bin.

A bit disappointing
Delivery was prompt and the item was not damaged.
However, it lacks instructions. What instructions, you may ask, do you need for such a simple item? Read more

durable
We love our new compost keeper. The ceramic one we tried earlier became chipped and tacky-looking. This is very easy to clean and lighter weight as well.
