Utopia Kitchen Compost Bin for Kitchen Countertop, 1.3 Gallon Compost Bucket for Kitchen with Lid, Includes 1 Spare Charcoal Filter, Home Essentials – (Silver)

Well-sized, attractive, odor-free, easy-to-clean, stainless-steel countertop composter
This is a great stainless steel counter top composter. It’s easy to clean — much easier than our previous plastic counter top composter. It shows no signs of rusting after over 8 months of use. We have never changed the filter and have never noted any unpleasant odors when it’s closed. I empty it into my large outdoor composter every day or two, depending on how full it is. It’s a great size for our family of 2-3. After emptying, I sometimes spray it out in the sink and then it’s good to go. It doesn’t need to be rinsed after most emptyings. The composter looks great. It matches our stainless-steel appliances. The handle is super sturdy and the lid fits snugly.

Love this good quality food scrap can!
Use it everyday. The nicely weighted stainless steel and modern design makes it look good sitting on the counter and it also fits well under the sink. Lid has charcoal filter inserts which can be used for quite a long time and are easily replaced. Strong handle makes it easy to carry over to my food preparation area, which may end up being in different places in the kitchen depending on what I’m making. I do place 3 gallon compostable food scrap bags inside simply because it’s easier for me to remove and tie and throw them into my organic recycle bin when full. I put a folded paper towel at the bottom before I put the new food scrap bag in, and at least rinse the can out and dry before putting a new bag in mainly because I don’t fill it up except every couple of days and some condensation from the bags can result. Takes only a minute. But using a bag is not necessary at all if you want to just dump the contents into the trashcan directly or compost pile if you have one, because the can is easily washable like any stainless steel pot or bowl. Lid is very tight so no smells are released plus never have had any unwanted creatures finding their way into it. Ordered a different brand/type originally that rusted. This one still looks brand new and it is one of my most-used kitchen accessories. Thank you!

Great Little Bin
Very please with this purchase. I was a little tired of just putting stuff in a plastic grocery bag and dumping it. Then turning around and throwing the bag in the trash. Depending on your composting needs this will do the job Ok. If you compost smaller food scraps it’s great. The lid fits tight and there’s a little filter in the lid to reduce the smell. If you do paper and cardboard it maybe not be the right thing for you. The little handle makes it easy to carry to your bin or pile. The height doesn’t lend itself to a larger ear of corn as I recently found out. Works well and fits well under the sink. No smell! Can’t say much about the sturdiness or longevity as it is brand new. Overall, very pleased!

Good looking compost bin in just the right size.
I didn’t want a big compost bin and keep food scraps too long on the countertop, but also I didn’t want something too small so that I had to make too many trips to the outdoor compost bin.This was a good size for our household (We are a family of three including a teenage son and I cook a lot.) I also checked this can fit in a fridge if I want in the middle of summer.I also like the material. Stainless steel is easy to keep it clean. I hope it’s durable, which I have to see over time.

Sehr hübsch und super Größe.Nachdem ich mir die Rezensionen durchgelesen hatte, war ich etwas hin und her gerissen. Aber der Eimer entspricht absolut meinen Erwartungen und meinen Ansprüchen. Optisch macht er einen sehr hübschen Eindruck und vom reinigungsaufwand ist er super. Einfach auswaschen fertig.Den Härtetest hat er geruchsmässig ebenfalls mit sehr gut bestanden. Ich habe Essig-Gewürz-Gurken hineingegeben und ihn extra Tage lang in der Küche stehen lassen. Da kam gar nichts an Geruch heraus, erst wenn man den Deckel hoch nahm.Der Deckel hat im übrigen keine Gummilippe und schließt nicht dicht ab, denn es sind ja Löcher im Deckel, die mit der Kohlematte versehen sind. Es kann also gar kein Unterdruck entstehen, sodass man sehr wohl mit nur einer Hand und ohne Kraftaufwand den Deckel anheben kann, um mit der anderen Hand die Bioabfälle einzufüllen.Die kohlematte lässt sich mit etwas Geschick gut herausnehmen und die neue wieder einsetzen.Ich denke, wenn man etwas aufpasst, dass der Rand sauber bleibt und der Deckel nicht vollkommen schmutzig wird, wird der Eimer kaum Probleme bereiten und sehr lange halten.Da man ihn heiß abwaschen kann und er keine Unmengen hineinfüllen kann, muss man ihn sicher nicht in die Spülmaschine stecken.Als Fazit: meiner Meinung nach ist dies ein wirklich guter Komposteimer und sein Geld auch wert.

Es de acero inoxidable, duradero y fácil d limpiar. Hasta la fecha utilizaba un cubo de plástico de compostaje. El cambio ha sido muy bueno, aunque este es más pequeño y tengo que vaciarlo más a menudo.Para limpiarlo es mucho mejor.Tiro muchas cáscaras y restos de verduras y hortalizas. Tengo compostadores en el jardín de casa.Este recipiente lo tengo en la cocina, y la verdad es que es muy elegante.La única pega, el tamaño para mi, me gustaría más grande. Pero para un piso está bien.

The container is well built and feels sturdy, the cover fits tightly, maybe too tightly making it a two handed task to open. Had to put an elastic band around the rim to hold the suggested biodegradable glad bags in place as they would keep edging their way into the container with each open/close event. with the elastic band solution this performs the designed use very well. Odors are well contained with the filter design, however the inside of the container has some condensation
