EKO Kitchen Compost Bin, 7L / 1.85 Gal Stainless Steel with Removable Inner Bucket and Deodorizer Compartment, 2-in-1 Countertop Compost Bin with Lid, Food Waste Caddy for Kitchen (MMT & Black Finish)

Though it also has the hooks to mount it to cabinets and such, it’s also the ideal size for countertop use in our kitchen. The design of the lid is clever and it opens 2 different ways which are both useful, depending on what we’re putting inside. It does a solid job sealing smells inside but we empty it daily so I haven’t necessarily stress-tested the odor-proofing or filter longevity. It was a little pricy compared to the plastic options I was weighing but ultimately this one being countertop has the advantage of blending in with our appliances and I only hope to need this one for quite some time.

I've used multiple composting bins over the years and this is by far the best. I got the 5L. It's a good size either for the counter or for hanging and it fits the7L compostable bags I already had perfectly. It leaves enough edge to be secure even with the bin full and enough extra to tie off when I toss a load. You could use this without bags, I just like using them for ease of cleaning. The lid is easy on/off and stays put with no sliding around or chance of accidentally falling off. Although I avoid plastic in my life as much as possible, for something like this is it light weight, easy to wash, and doesn't rust through like every metal bin I've used eventually does. Great little device for a good price. THUMBS UP.

I use this bin for a chicken bucket at our house for all the food scraps for the chickens. It’s great because the lid can stay open if you want. It’s always in a convenient location hanging on a cabinet for easy scrap disposal. And because of the lid the scraps don’t stink up the kitchen. Super sturdy and loos great with the matching full size trash can.

It's a nice size and it's easy to clean. I was explicitly looking for a bin with a liner that I could throw in the dishwasher, and this meets that requirement. It closes well enough that I haven't had issues with smell, even if I don't empty it nightly. That said, I wish there was a rubber edge or something to give it a proper seal. Some minor issues: - It's a bit hard to move around since there are no handles. We typically like to have it on our island where we do most of our chopping, but don't want it to permanently sit there. Given it's large size, it would've been nice if they gave a little more thought to portability. - Removing the inner bin is a bit hard when it's full. - The bags it comes with are not compostable. Sort of silly for a compost bin...

My husband did not want me to get this. He was concerned that it would not keep the odors in. However, being winter in New England, I still wanted to be able to compost yet did not want to have to go out to the backyard (we keep our compost bin far away) that frequently. I won and we gave it a try😊. It works great! Between how snugly the cover hits and the carbon filter it comes with not odors come out. The size is perfect for us - I went **weeks** without having to empty it. I was a nice surprise that it came with 30 liners! I have it hanging off the side of our stainless steel duel trash bin we keep in the kitchen. I love that there are two ways to open the bin. Flip up for a quick toss in; pull down when I need to push in lots of scraps from my cutting board. This makes composting so easy - no excuses anymore. The only problem is you will be trying to find even more things to compost. Luckily Alexia has all the answers. For the record - dryer lint works if it is from natural fibers, as does finger nails. Do not compost baked goods, meat, fish, or dairy. Enjoy stepping up for composting!!

We find the design & quality topnotch and a welcome surprise. The lid is ‘two-way’: hinged as usual and also it comes forward and down making for easy one hand scraping of scraps into the receptacle.

We got this a few months back, and love this EKO bin for collecting scraps for our compost. The lid has hook on inside to hang while I put veggie scraps into it. It has an handle for easy transporting, and it cleans up nicely. Love the clean design and the green color in our kitchen. Perfect size for us too.

I like the size of this compost bin and bought it to hang on the inside of the cabinet door under my sink. The bin is well made, but the deodorizer feature in the lid does not work well. It is too small. When the bin has scraps in it, the bin sweats with moisture, which has pooled on the bottom of my cabinet. Also, when the bin is moderately full, the weight of it is too much for the two flimsy plastic tabs which have sticky backs to attach them to your cabinet door, and within the first two weeks of use, the plastic tabs bent from the weight of the bin contents and broke off, sending the bin to the floor, spilling out some of the stinky contents. It would be better if this bin came with a very, very thin, but study couple of metal hooks that would fit over the top of the cabinet door and suspend the bin that way. Also, another comment I have is that the inner liner bin has two round grab holes on it for when you lift it out of the exterior metal canister. When the bin is full and heavy, these round grab holes are very uncomfortable on your fingers because of their thin, sharp edges. These should have been designed to be more comfortable to grab for more than a minute. I have to lug my bin down to the basement of my building and the grab holes are sharp and uncomfortable on my fingers during that 2-3 minute trip down to the basement. Otherwise, this is an aesthetically nice looking bin.

Perfecta para basura orgánica, cabe en cualquier parte

ES UN BOTE CON BUENA CALIDAD EN ACABADOS Y FUNCIONALIDAD.

Again, another well thought-out high quality item from EKO. The design and ease-of-use of the lid is the best part. Plus, they give you free bags and activated charcoal pads (to control the smell) - that's what the green part on the inside of the bin is - you put a pad into it, and it absorbs bad smells. Also, very easy to clean and maintain a hygenic compost bin. I also really love the mixture of materials and the colours they use. Considering the amount of design and high quality materials used in the creation of this Food Waste Compost Bin, it's definitely good value for money! I believe that EKO are the very best at what they do. Super fast delivery. Packaged well. Thanks very much!

Parfaite pour l’utilisation prévue

Such a practical product we were going to hang it in a cupboard and then realised how easy it was to hang off or stainless steel bin which looks really good being able to open the lead. Two ways is really handy as well. It really does encourage us to compost more.
