- BEAUTIFUL & WORKS FLAWLESSLY!!!
- First, I admit to being too lazy to empty my kitchen scraps often, so, with that said, rest assured this great little container REALLY WORKS! NO SMELL whatsoever! Looks great! Really... I leave it on top of my counter near my stainless containers of flour, sugar, coffee beans. I know that might sound gross at first, but once you start using this you will understand how it is perfectly reasonable (even for me - a person who loves uncluttered counter tops - appliances are just unacceptable, but my little matching compost pail is okay - go figure!).
DEFINITE RECOMMENDATION (and I've even given one as a gift - long story short: I've gotten more thanks for this than any other gift I've ever given her). - 2008-11-08, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Solid, Stylish, Hefty
- I find this compost pail to be well-suited for everyday use. The metal is thicker than the picture tends to indicate, and the handle is sturdy. The top has more of a plug shape than a lid shape so the pail is easy to cover and uncover with one hand. The screws holding the handle on are #2 Phillips screws and are quite strong and tight on my pail. The gallon size will take my two adult household a week or more to fill up. As others have suggested, a biodegradable trash bag may be a good addition to cut down on cleaning. A little on the expensive side for a counter top miniature trash can, but it beats the mixing bowl with a plate for a lid I was using.

- why so cheap - this is why
- the devil is in the details
- made in red china (saves you cash, slowly ruins the dollar)
- made of 18/8 stainless steel (good, but NOT the best)
- has holes to permit rapid BREEDING of fruit-flies (enjoy!)
Why O why should a mfr be SO CHEAP as to opt for 18/8 stainless
instead of the much better 18/10 stainless steel. It figures:
they stoop to having the stuff made in officially atheist red
China, and you wonder why they should withhold spending extra
money on selecting 18/10 S/S (instead of the inferior 18/8)?
18/10 stainless KILLS ODORS (when wet) without help, so (of
all types of products) a composting wastepail SHOULD logically
HAVE a built-in way to control smells. But nooooo...
One additional negative comment: "Stainless" does not mean
RUST-FREE. It means stain-LESS (not -proof). Semantics? - 2008-06-18, 8 of 29 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- No Smell!
- I've been waiting on my compost hoop to arrive, and in the mean time have been throwing produce scraps into this pail. It's been 2 weeks and there is absolutely no smell. Great product.

- Perfect Pail
- Attractive pail that you don't have to hide. I have mine right on the counter where I do my food prep. So convenient and nice to look at. It's a generous gallon size, I empty it about every fourth or fifth day. I line it with plastic bags (saved veggie bags from the supermarket) so I don't have to wash the pail out every time I empty it; instead of taking the pail outside, I just grab the plastic bag full of scraps, this really works for me. I had no problems with the screws coming loose like the other reviewer but I did check if they were tight, which they were, I guess it is a good idea to check them once in a while. Great product that I would recommend, much better than a plastic or ceramic one, which could break. Buy extra filters to have on hand since you can only find them online.
