Joseph Joseph Intelligent Waste Compost Bin Food Waste Caddy with Odor Filter and Ventilation, 1 Gallon / 4 liters, Graphite

After some research I discovered if you want a smell-free compost bin, it needs airflow, which means bugs can get in, which means storing it in the fridge (which also helps with smell). If you can’t store in the fridge, then get the food scrap bin which is airtight so bugs can’t get in, but it will smell. This bin is perfect in the fridge! The stainless steel handles doesn’t show fingerprints and is perfect for grabbing one handed if my hands are dirty or full. The lid is also easy to open one handed, which helps if you just have something small and don’t want to take it out of the fridge. It’s easy to clean and the light color makes it easy to see what needs cleaning. I LOVE THIS BIN! It is so thoughtfully designed and makes composting easy!

I am a huge fan of anything Joseph Joseph. Their designs are very intelligent. This fits well on the counter and is not obtrusive. It is easy to clean. We use compostable bags and empty it daily, so smell is not an issue. The lid stands up on it's own and it is easy to replace the bags. It is lightweight, so it is easy to move around the counter if you have different food prep areas.

This looks really small, and that's just what I needed. It holds about a month of waste that I dump into the outside composter. There's no smell, the bags compost, I love it.

I like this one, i like the shape, it saves space on the counter...if its curved it would be wasting space on the curved area... it works well... pricy but feels like good quality.

The size is perfect. I’ve been using it for more than 2 months, and I haven’t had any problems with the lid. The filter works very well and prevents any bad smells.

This is the only countertop composter that I found that at first look, appears to be designed correctly. That is, air can come in through holes that start in the bottom and open into the inside, then the air goes out through the carbon/charcoal filter on the top, kind of like an attic ventilation system works (air comes in through the sofits and out the roof vents). This should allow the contents to dry out preventing bugs and mold, while at the same time not allowing any bad smells to get into your house. Units that only have the carbon filter on top, but no way for air to flow through, will attract bugs and mold, and if they are stainless steel, acid from tomatoes will eat holes in the sides of the steel. That being said, after buying and owning this for 4 years, I can tell you that it doesn’t work quite as well as I had hoped as far as not getting bugs. It does get a few fruit flies. The unit is made well, being sturdy and having a nice handle for transport. Now the bad: *It is SMALL (see submitted picture, and note the coffee maker as a reference for size). If you put alot of compostable waste in this it won't take long to fill up (see submitted picture). Stretch your space by only using it for organic waste. *It is ONLY ONE GALLON in capacity, so you pretty much have to buy the compost bags made by Joseph Joseph (and they are a little expensive at $15 for 50) in order to get a proper fit, since other companies with better prices have 1.2 gallon bags or larger, . *The carbon/charcoal filters from Joseph Joseph are ridiculously EXPENSIVE at $16 for two very small thin ones, but you should be able to buy less expensive ones and cut them to fit. *The cover over the carbon filter on the top is kind of HARD TO REMOVE. There are two release clips on the underside of the lid that you have to push to get it off to access the filter (see provided picture) and it takes a clip pushing, pushing up, pulling from the top action to open the filter case. All in all, I would recommend this item as a temporary way to store compost before transferring it outside to your large composter and avoid smells in your house in the meantime. UPDATE: I accidentally knocked off and broke the clips on the filter cover for this. I found that Joseph Joseph sells what appears to be the replacement part through their website. I wanted to be sure it was the correct part for my model, so I wrote them, and got NO RESPONSE. I am knocking this review down by one ⭐️ for bad customer service after the sale.

I've been using this for about a week after being very resistant to saving food scraps. I like the size - it's perfect for daily use. Our city has us add scraps to our green/landscape bin so composting is fairly straight forward. The countertop bin they provided us was just absolutely terrible so I've been hunting for a decent replacement ever since. This looks really nice in the kitchen, you wouldn't know it was full of food scraps. It's a good size, it's small so it doesn't take up too much space, but roomy and really easy to clean. The lid opens up nicely and is lightweight so it doesn't tip the bin (like the city provided one did...) The metal handle is also a great upgraded feature. It just feels sturdy and well made. It's still winter so the bugs aren't out yet, so I'm not sure how well this will deter pests. I'll update if we end up with a fruit fly problem.

I purchased the stone color countertop model a couple of months ago, once I decided it was finally time to start separating and recycling my food waste (we have a municipal collection program). This model was more expensive than some others I considered, but it looked sturdier and more attractive. I'm extremely pleased with it. I keep the bin on my countertop next to my cutting board and I don't mind the look of it at all. It is easy to use (lid has a convenient tab for opening and it stays propped open well when you're chopping etc., and the size of the bin is perfect for my family (which ranges from 2-5 people depending on who is around). When the lid is closed, the bin is odor-proof. I ended up buying the FORID 1.2 gallon small compostible bags as liners and they work well. You can twist the excess bag length and catch it in the designated hole in the base of the bin to keep the bag tight. All in all, a great product.

Bardzo elegancki pojemnik. Używam w kuchni do bio odpadów. Wykonany solidnie. Jestem bardzo zadowolona z zakupu.

Bra och luktfri Läcker vätska då och då

Bought this to replace the mulfunction small step bin. Feel relief seeing the little caddy sits neatly on the narrow counter top. It means, no more bending over to discard unwanted produces and vegetables.

This is a great organics bin, I've had mine for about two months now and not one complaint. It cleans easy, bags are easy to switch out and there's a spot inside the bin where a new bag can be fastened so it stays put and doesn't move around on you. It comes with a small carbon filter which is very good for not letting any odours escape the unit. The lid fits tight and sturdy, the handle tucks away behind the unit and the whole thing looks neat and tidy on the countertop and is the perfect size for several days of food scraps (for two people at least, we cook a lot at home so we do use it constantly throughout the day). The lid stays up and out of the way nicely when you open it to throw the scraps in without closing on you unexpectedly. Mine is the charcoal color and looks great, and the design makes it easy to tuck out of the way and fit against the wall easily. I'm super happy with it overall!

Pequeño y práctico, para familias de 1 ó 2 personas con residuos orgánicos moderados, queda bonito sobre la encimera, sacar cada 3 ó 4 días.
