Does not seal
on August 13, 2026
Posted by: Kimberley G.
Bought this compost caddy thinking it would be sleek and easy to use, but the “magnetic seal” does not actually seal. We’ve had it for a couple months now and it is constantly infested with flies.

Looked Great, but Maggots!

We used the bin with the compostable liners and were shock to find that when we went to empty it 8 days later, it was crawling with maggots!

love the product
on July 23, 2026

This caddy is an asset to my kitchen and to composting. It's the perfect size, and I love having bags to keep the container clean. Clean-up after composting is minimal. As a senior, I like how low-maintenance the whole process is.

Doesn't keep out fruit flies
on July 22, 2026
Posted by: Richard R.
Product description says it keeps pests like fruit flies from being attracted. It does not. It is not airtight and mine has fruit flies swarming around it.
It is very attractive, but the product description is not accurate.

It’s nice to have found a compost container that actually looks attractive. The easy flip top lid makes using it a breeze.

This is a great compost bin. Easy to use, doesn’t smell, and pretty affordable for the quality. Love the compostable liners simple human sells too.

Compost Cadfy
on July 16, 2026
Posted by: Deborah J.
This Simple Human Compost Candy is one of the best purchases I have made. We have a septic tank, and I cannot put anything down our garbage disposal, so having this caddy is a life saver.
I bought the caddy as an attachment to the step open trash bin, and they both have made my life so much easier in the kitchen.
They are both so good looking, I have been updating our kitchen, and seriously streamline our trash collecting process.
In addition, the compost candy has a removable bin within the caddy, simplifying the cleaning and sanitizing process.
Thank you, Simple Human—another great find!!!

Does a good job keeping odor in.

The lid keeps bad odor in without using a charcoal filter. Very easy to use.
