EarthCare Kitchen Composter Hinged Top Filtered

Had been using a plastic milk jug with handle and a larger hole cut out. I'd accumulate kitchen scraps and coffee grounds and take them to the mulch pile every few days. Eventually we began having issues with fruit flies. I tried a large plastic container with a snap on lid for a while but still had flies. And it had no handle.This compost container has worked great. The filter works in keeping it odor free and no more fruit flies! It is easy to open with one hand and snaps shut easily. The composter holds quite a bit. I would recommend it.

I've had this particular pail for nearly three months. Not once have I smelled any odors from it. I haven't even replaced the original filter yet. I generally empty it once a week followed up with a good washing. I keep it sitting out most times. If I have company over it's quickly stored underneath the sink. Really happy overall with this product.

To all beginner composters (as I am) - this product does NOT compost. I only found out after collecting my scraps and waiting for it to do its magic for 5 weeks only to find mold instead of composted soil. Upon further inquiry with this dealer, I found out this is ONLY for COLLECTION of scraps and then its to be moved to a composting pile (which I don't have, of course). Now, if someone is looking just to collect, I will say that there has been no odor coming from the container itself, so that is good. I just am very disappointed with the misrepresentation and don't want others to waste their money like I did.

this composter is great, not tippy at all, lid stays shut, smells are controlled I'm very happy with it. great value

It's bigger than I thought it would be - but that's a good thing! Fits under the kitchen sink quite well - and the snapping lid makes sure (along with the filter) that smells don't escape (and "critters" don't enter)! The size is a bonus in that we don't have to empty daily, unless we want to! Great bargain!

Item is cheaply constructed. Latch does not snap as lid and body are not aligned properly. Was expecting much more especially from reviews. Ships in a cardboard box of "Gold Oil" brand automotive oil. Worth $5-$10, but not more. Can probably do better with a 5-gal bucket and lid from your local hardware store. CANNOT recommend this product.

This little composter works great! We keep it under the kitchen sink and the filter really keeps any odors in check. The only thing that I would improve is making it a little bit bigger. We seem to fill it up quickly. The filters are a must.

Great size for your composting needs. No smell from the pail at all.. Carbon filter takes care of that. Great buy.
