Attractive container

I live in southern California and we are required to isolate our organic waste from our trash. We were given a bright green plastic bucket to use. This needs to be dumped into our yard waste barrel. So ugly on the kitchen counter! I bought your compost bin which looks so stylish and coordinates with my appliances. Worth the cost...
This is a beautiful product. I wish it had a airtight clasp so it could be used for more that just compost, but it is extremely beautiful and serves its purpose.
It never occurred to me the caddy would only fit on the Simple Human trash canisters. It would be ideal for the magnetic mount to have a universal fit for all rectangular trash cans. Additionally, the Code Z custom-fit compostable liners begin decomposing immediately. Thus, they are worthless as liners or to carry your scraps to your compost pit.
I like the design of this compost can. Its rectangular shape makes better use of countertop space (as compared to the more common cylindrical shapes on the market). It doesn't fit my simplehuman trashcan model, but I knew that before buying it.
It has a nice clean look and yes indeed, it does a fine job to keep out the little fruit flies that love compost.
It is the perfect size for our family of two who eats vegetables and fruit every day. We used to have a bigger one and food would rot, liquefy and would attract flies. With this caddy, it never happens. I'd rather drop the food in the compost bin more frequently than having to deal with a dirty caddy. It is very convenient to have it on the side of the garbage c can and it is pleasant to look at when it is on the kitchen counter. Cleaning it is an easy and fast task.
Really happy with my purchase of this compost container! I originally wondered if we would smell the food scraps since this would be kept inside, but we don't. The lid seals well and we never smell a thing!
Love having this caddy. It is very handy, just wish it opened automatically like the trash can. I do find the bag has to be changed frequently, so the bag won’t start decomposing.
