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

I was so sad that the top of my other compost container somehow ended up missing after my siblings visited while I was away. Then I found this one. It takes up more room on the sink than I would like, but it also emits zero smells. It's easy to keep clean (my criteria for any trash or waste items) and it comes apart quite easily to remove the full bags (it even holds more). It even fits the bags that I had bought for the previous Aldi's container I had held onto for so long. This was definitely an upgrade. I am very happy with the product. I searched and searched. This is the one.

It is pretty and cool looking. I, however, wish it is a bit bigger.

This is a great size and not too unsightly for keeping on the kitchen countertop. Keeps smells in pretty well! Works with or without liner bags. Easy to clean. The carbon filter square gets gross pretty easily, and when it's removed from the lid for cleaning, fruit flies start accumulating. So I'd recommend having replacement squares on hand.

Good bags, no leakage. But I kept getting fruit flies laying eggs all over the inside, including the filter. Which turned into maggots in just a couple of days. I don't have a need to change the bag every day, but this is gross.

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.

works well

Delay starting die not support specific time. It only allows you delay by hours . Not convenient since it’s noise affects sleep.

My problems:- Cooking and table scraps stink up my regular trash can.- Emptying my trash can every day is a hassle/wasteful if not full.- My apt garbage disposal isn't strong enough to process my food scraps.How this solves it:- Keeps smells completely out due to the CARBON filter (<--*so* key)! Yes, even if the flies are growing inside. I've pushed it that far. TMI, sorry.- Countertop access convenient when cooking- Corrals all the food scraps in one placeSome pearls:- Bag size doesnt have to be perfect. It's designed so that you can put excess bag material in the hole along the lip (see picture).- For non-composters (bc your city doesnt support it :\ ) the Whole Food produce bags fit perfectly!- Get the *countertop* version with the carbon filter, not the door mounted caddy which does not have the filter.
