Metal Kitchen Compost Caddy - Composting Bin for Food Waste Recycling (Red)

This little caddy is awesome, sturdy, easy to empty with its inner bucket with handle and has a good rubber seal to keep smells inside. But best of all it's pretty!

Love this - perfect size - enough to fill a small caddy bag - so essential to have one - saves drops and mess going all over the floor as you make your way to the kitchen bin - much easier to deal unwanted waste from chopping board etc straight here. Looks stylish, comes with caddy bags and does what it says on the tin. May rust over time but so far it looks lovely.

Not quite as expected but no problem - it does the job as intended!Colour: the seller warned that colours cannot be accurately reproduced on device screens, but in case it's useful the cream compost caddy is a very pale cream, not the rich buttercream colour I was hoping for based on my computer monitor. Having read some of the questions about colour, I wonder if this is a newer version as some of the older reviews did say it was a deep cream? As a comparator, it is noticeably paler than the Dualitt cream toaster and kettle for example (see photo), but still blends in to my colour scheme. Had the colour been crucial to me, I would have bought from the high street / exchanged it.Size: the inner plastic bucket doesn't sit at the very bottom of the outer tin bucket - ie it sits slightly higher up / doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the tin bucket and is therefore slightly smaller capacity that I'd expected. This will be fine as I empty it regularly anyway.Design: the lid has a seal and seems to fit well - hopefully will keep fruit flies out and odors in! The lid handle stands proud of the bucket. It might have been useful if it was below the rim of the bucket so that you can balance things on top in a small kitchen, but this is a detail!Cleaning: I line the inner plastic bin with a piece of kitchen roll which can be composted along with my kitchen peelings. As a previous reviewer has said - don't overfill or the lid gets messy! It would be even better if the plastic inner bin had a plastic handle so that it could go in the dishwasher. I wouldn't want to put the inner bin in the dishwasher in case the metal handle rusts. Obviously don't put the metal outer bucket in the dishwasher.Overall, does just what I want it to do, and much more decorative than my usual plate of veg peelings!!!

I use this bin for food waste for before and after a meal. Itis an excellent size for my kitchen work surface, made of good strong material and an excellent colour which matches all other red items in my kitchen

This is a lovely addition to the kitchen. I’d been looking for some time for a small compost bin and this is perfect. Small and compact. Lid has a rubber seal which stops any smells escaping and the removable inner bucket has a handle making it easy to remove, empty and clean. Very pretty in the light blue and true to colour shown. Highly recommend.

It looks really great in my yellow kitchen, but the inner plastic caddy is really hard to remove once the bag is full. When you pull it out by the handle, the handle comes off in your hand and you end up having to get messy hands to remove the inner caddy, and be able to tie up the bag.

I’m really happy with this purchase. It has an inner bucket with handle making this so easy to keep clean and to empty. I put biodegradable food bags inside and put that straight into our composter. The lid has a good seal and prevents any smells from escaping! Really works well even though it doesn’t have a charcoal filter like some. But it really doesn’t need it!
