As we did not want a "garbage can look" on our kitchen counter, we bought the RSVP International Jumbo Compost Pail, 1.5 gallon size, with "under the sink" in mind. It looks great THERE. Going up from the more traditional 1-gallon size, this pail's advantage is fewer trips to the compost outside. It's easy to clean and offers a filter on the inside of the pail cover as well.
One caveat, however: After only three weeks use, I took it outside, inverted it to empty the contents, and discovered that the screw holding the left side of the handle had popped out. Lucky for me, both screw and nut fell into the pail and did not disappear in a pile of grass clippings, melon skins, apple cores, coffee grounds, egg shells, (etc.). You might not be as lucky.
Moral? The handle construction might be the Achille's heel of this product. If you buy it, check the screws on the handles for tightness, then recheck them periodically. Beyond that, we've been nothing but pleased.
we purchased this compost keeper because we wanted something to put our scraps in so i can use them in my garden. we bought this one because it is all metal and it has a carbon filter so you don't smell anything that's in it. we have had it for about a month and use it everyday. my husband uses it every morning for his coffee grounds so it gets filled and we use it for fruit and veggie scraps. we currently don't have an outside compost unit however i put the scraps into the ground at a specif location in our yard and stir it up and it creats the compost that way and it works fatastic for us. this unit is easy to clean and looks fantastic on the counter. the lid doesn't lock in place but it does make a good seal so you can't smell any of the stuff that's in it. we recommend it to others!!!
This is a great product for coffee grounds. I use mine for coffee grounds only and it's amazing how well my plants have responded to the grounds. It looks fine on the counter and there is no odor. Great way to start composting and you will be rewarded with healthier plants.
