EKO Kitchen Compost Bin, 7L / 1.85 Gal Stainless Steel with Removable Inner Bucket and Deodorizer Compartment, 2-in-1 Countertop Compost Bin with Lid, Food Waste Caddy for Kitchen (MMT & Black Finish)

I use this for kitty litter
I foster cats and this works great for kitty litter! The size is perfect, big enough for a day or two, but small enough that it doesn’t take up much space. It hides the smell really well, and I love the different colors you can choose from. I put 4 gallon trash bags in it. It holds the bag in place so it’s easy to pull out and dump. I actually like it much better than any litter disposal container I’ve used in the past.

Fits our needs well
We save all our food scraps for the compost pile. We have for some time used an old plastic coffee can on the counter. When it’s full, that material goes into a larger 5-gallon bucket. When that’s full, out to the compost pile..We wanted something more aesthetic than a red coffee can on the counter, which is also difficult to clean with its molded-in crevices. I saw this EKO bin and decided to try it out..It’s very simple and quite light. We only needed the 3L size, to replicate the coffee can’s volume. The handle adds a slight messiness to the look but is actually useful when emptying the bin. It’s a little deformed as it’s very lightweight. You could remove it but you’d have a couple small holes on each side. We set it at the back, relatively hidden..The lid sits on a removable rectangular rim and both seal reasonably well. No smells and no need for carbon filters, which just add to the cost over time. The rim is to capture a plastic bag. We don’t use a bag. The bin is very easy to clean out.The lid has a unique lip, which allows the lid to be hung on the bin when loading it. This ensures you can lift it back into place without either placing the dirty underside on the counter or having to pick it up from the dirty side, if the clean side of the lid is placed down on the counter. I would have preferred the ‘handle’ to not be sunk into the lid. The pockets fill up with water drops if you have wet hands. It’s more difficult to wipe the water away. 1 Star lost! ☹.There are an included couple of parts to hang the bin off a wall or door. We didn’t use those. A countertop suits us better. We ordered the gray as white will look dirty, the metal one might rust, and the green is 70’s ugly!.$14 is a little pricey for how simple it is but it does the job and works surprisingly well for our particular needs.

Almost perfect. Best bin I’ve ever owned
This is the best compost bin I’ve ever owned. And while I’m probably also saying, “gee I’m an old person getting excited about a compost bin” you probably will too. Like a Dyson cordless, your life just got easier and better.2.6 gallon bags are perfect.Looks good/good materials.Hinges heavy duty and niceSeals nice so none to minimal smellI leave the cabinet hook on the cabinet, then drop this into place for cleaning, then back on the shelf it goes.Seriously almost perfect.Let me know when you get the Next iteration!- Make it a tiny bit smaller- do something to hold the bag top- (optional) handle of something else to lift interior bin- make silicone pull a touch bigger

Decent, but has some design/functionality flaws.
I like the size of this compost bin and bought it to hang on the inside of the cabinet door under my sink. The bin is well made, but the deodorizer feature in the lid does not work well. It is too small. When the bin has scraps in it, the bin sweats with moisture, which has pooled on the bottom of my cabinet. Also, when the bin is moderately full, the weight of it is too much for the two flimsy plastic tabs which have sticky backs to attach them to your cabinet door, and within the first two weeks of use, the plastic tabs bent from the weight of the bin contents and broke off, sending the bin to the floor, spilling out some of the stinky contents. It would be better if this bin came with a very, very thin, but study couple of metal hooks that would fit over the top of the cabinet door and suspend the bin that way. Also, another comment I have is that the inner liner bin has two round grab holes on it for when you lift it out of the exterior metal canister. When the bin is full and heavy, these round grab holes are very uncomfortable on your fingers because of their thin, sharp edges. These should have been designed to be more comfortable to grab for more than a minute. I have to lug my bin down to the basement of my building and the grab holes are sharp and uncomfortable on my fingers during that 2-3 minute trip down to the basement. Otherwise, this is an aesthetically nice looking bin.

My old plastic compost bin was cracked & while I could get it replaced by the City free of charge, since I purchased the EKO Deluxe Sensor Trash Bin (which I love & already reviewed), I decided to get the EKO Compost Bin. I was a little concerned that the ‘clip’ to hang it on my old cabinet wouldn’t be wide enough because as you can see by photo the outside of cabinet is not flat & thicker than the newer cabinets. It fits with a little room to spare. I did add some tape because when I lift up the bin the clip comes off the cabinet. Secured clip with a little 3M tape & perfect. This comes with 30!!! handled compost EKO bags as well as a filter. Bonus! For reference the Costco bin liners fit it perfectly as well. I love that you can open it 2 different ways. So much nicer than my old, ugly compost bin. Thank you again EKO for another quality product. I’m sure I’ll be back for more lol.Update: The bin liners provided fit this perfectly but unfortunately from what I can find they are not compostable. We are required to use compostable bags in our municipality. Again the Costco ones work but if there were EKO ones that were compostable I would be buying them over the Costco ones even at the higher price. Please EKO, make these in a compostable line.
