Joseph Joseph Intelligent Waste, Stack 4 Kitchen Food Waste Compost Caddy Recycling Bin with Odour Filter, 4 Litre / 1 Gallon - Stone

Very happy with my purchased. This is the right size that I was looking for and it has a filter that it doesn't smell. its looks great in my worktop kitchen very nice especially the handle, well made looks, good quality, easy to used and lid easy open. I would highly recommend this product to other customers and I would buy this again.

Well made, durable material. Lid closure easy to use and looks neat and tidy on work surface. Easy to change bags and filter and easy to clean. No smell. Highly recommend.

Love this. Its sleek and stylish, looks great on the counter. Big enough for a decent amount of food waste but not so big its imposing. Easy to clean, lovely product.

I think we purchased this on one of the Prime days, and really glad we did. At first glance, it looks like just a plastic box. Which, I suppose, it is, really. But it does serve a specific purpose. Not only that, it's of just the right size for us, at least. We have a very, very small kitchen. Nevertheless, we do our very best to recycle, separate, etc. We used to get those free green recycle food waste bags. But as with most councils, they stopped providing those. But quite frankly, they weren't that big. They weren't strong. And we were constantly filling them and emptying them into the outside bin. So in conjunction with buying some green bags which were bigger, stronger, just downright better, we also purchased this caddy. The caddy is big enough to hold the bigger bags, but it's not too big to fit on our countertop just where we need it. Nice, easy-to-lift lid. And when the lid is closed with the filter in the top, there's no smells whatsoever. It's a nice smooth edge design with a very non-offensive grey colour.

I used to use the mushroom boxes to collect bits for the compost but I was having to go and empty them up to three times a day. This is much better. It holds a good amount of vegetable waste and trips to the heap now happen once every other day. I have not used the Joseph Joseph bags, just the 10 litre compost bags from Tesco. Once I'd got the knack of fitting them tidily and gathering the excess to poke through the hole at the back, the cheapo bags work fine. I wanted a rectangular bin as I work on a butchers' trolley and was sweeping all the waste straight into the mushroom boxes with the back of my knife or a sponge. Old habits die hard and a few times I have tried holding the box in the same way, but the top rim that covers the bag edges comes off - with disastrous results as the rest of the box, and its contents, crashes to the floor. I am now sweeping onto a small chopping board and scraping that into the bin. The rectangular shape is good for that. The bin is a good squat shape, no chance of it toppling over. The lid stays up fine but I will not be putting this through the dishwasher just in case I end up with the same lid problems others have had. It's easy enough to wipe out and doesn't seem to get very dirty at all. I have found some condensation in the bin underneath the bag but that is easily wiped with a bit of kitchen roll. I have no complaints about the handle either. It seems fine. The charcoal filter works really. It holds in smells completely, even the obnoxious smell of banana skins stays inside. I did think that once this filter wore out I would cut a chunk of cooker hood filter to use instead but it works so well and seems to be lasting ok so I might splash out on the correct filters. Just for the sake of testing it thoroughly I have removed the filter and put it back. I struggled until I realised that you release the clip underneath and push up so the filter cover pops off the top. I find that I only need to push one clip and do not need to squeeze the two together. All in all, a well designed product that does the job extremely well.

Perfect design and product. The box is made of two layers with a ventilated gap between them, preventing condensation. It also has a replaceable filter on the lid that prevents odour coming out as well as flies getting in and out. Make sure you order the bags from the same manufacturer

Excellent. An attractive counter top food waste caddy. Very good quality item.

It took me ages to make up my mind about the choice of a little waste container to put on my worktop.This J & J waste container ticked all the boxes for me, except the price box! I finally realized if placed on the right hand side of my sink, not far from my dark grey and stainless steel kettle and toaster by Breville, the dark grey plastic and the stainless steel handle of the J & J compost container would match perfectly. I have to admit this was the last reason that made me go ahead with the order, (though not the main reason!) but I was still thinking the price was a bit high. I must say I am now DELIGHTED with the practical and stylish result on my worktop! Worth every penny of it! Liner bags? Easy to notice the way of fixing the liner bags was very well thought of. Even the bags I had (a bit too big), worked. I will eventually shop around at Amazon to buy the proper size of J & J liners for it. This little compost container corresponds perfectly to my needs. I have already got a dual Brabantia kitchen bin on the kitchen floor. It has 2 sections - one of which is for all our garden compost. We are vegetarian, we always make fresh soup and we eat lots of fruit & veg so, we get lots and lots of peelings going straight into that bin. When full, it's emptied into our large compost bins at the end of the garden. I needed a small size compost container on my worktop (instead of using a salad bowl covered with a large plate!!!) to fill up with items connected with food I do NOT put in my garden compost (bits of cooked food, cheese rinds, daily peelings of citrus fruit, large stones from avocados (take years to decompose!) & stones from peaches and apricots, plus coffee filters & tea bags). The Council give us a sort of good size brown bucket to fill up with stuff for garden compost + bits of cooked foods and whatever you don't want to dump into your own garden compost -- but all must be put in biodegradable bags. No place on my kitchen floor for this brown squarish bucket, and it is much too big (and ugly) to put on my worktop! I keep it in the garage. The "bucket" in question gets emptied once a week at the same time as our general rubblish bins. Every 5 or 6 days, I empty the contents of my little J&J container into that brown bucket. Perfect solution for me. I now could not do without my J&J compact waste container, sitting nicely on my kitchen worktop, next to my sink, looking great with other accessories, and doing a much much better job than my old salad bowl covered with a plate! A liner bag gets filled within just about a week and it never ever smells. I feel I have now completed all my efforts towards the recycling of food, in a very satisfactory and very happy way!
