Great little caddy
on March 11, 2021
Posted by: Susanna D.
Love that this thing is so sturdy and clears up counter space. Downgrading it from 5 stars for a few reasons: It is a little small, it is impossible for me to lift off the trash can and onto the counter with only one hand (like when I've already started chopping ...), and we've had one episode of the bag slipping down into the caddy, which wasted a bag and was a mess to clean up. Otherwise it is great.

Stays off the sink and out of the way

It just blends in with the silver garbage container and there when we need it.

Attracts fruit flies
on March 8, 2021

The caddy does not seal air right, attracting fruit flies. However, because it has minimal ventilation, moisture is trapped inside allowing larva to breed - had a very gross experience removing the compost bag five days after I started filling it.

Somewhat cheesy construction and too small to be practical
on March 8, 2021
Posted by: Justin S.
First, the way the lid attaches to the top section is unreliable and I wound up having the small metal pieces fall out. Fortunately, I was able to find the tiny piece and get it back together, but it seemed out of character for a simple human product.
Second, while it's aesthetically pleasing, the size makes it impractical. When I'm cooking a large mean I wind up using a paper shopping bag instead of the bin because it gets full before I've finished chopping.
I would not purchase again.

Love this

This little compost bin is what my trash and recycling dual bin was missing. I was using a little plastic countertop bin from the town that collects compost but it was not attractive and didn’t prevent fruit flies. This little bin is smaller but I can use it on the counter for chopping and mostly it hangs on my dual bin looking sleek. It also prevents fruit flies and I love the liners that are meant for it. They don’t rip easily which is important in a compost bag.

Love this item. I use it on the kitchen counter. The lid is easy to open, it looks great and bags are easy to change.

problem with lid
on March 6, 2021
Posted by: Layne S.
we have a couple of the trash cans and love them....the compost caddy is the perfect size , shape is nice ...we use it on the counter top rather than the magnetic attachment to the the trash can...the wire 'nibs' essentially acting as a hinge for the lid are too short and come out easily , making the lid aggravating

Sleek compost bin
on March 6, 2021

I love my new compost bin. I used to have a bin on the counter. This freed up much needed counter space. I would highly recommend.
