OXO Good Grips Easy-Clean Compost Bin - White - 2.83 L

The lid fits flush which I was worried about cause we've had fruit flies before and it doesnt seem to attract them after 5 weeks of use. Doesn't smell when the lids closed. Looks great, matches the appliances. Its easy to clean theres no fussy bits. Compost bag edge is hidden by the lid frame. Lid comes off and can then be separated from the frame..not sure it's meant to be removed by bending right back until it snaps off but that how I've been doing it and it seems fine, it snaps back on securely so really sturdy...I would check the instructions on that first though in case its just luck that it hasnt broken! It gets emptied probably twice a week, only starts getting wet inside if there's packet salad as that stuff rots quickly, but peelings and fruit seems fine. Can go on the counter but I keep it on the floor next to the bin so people remember put food in there instead of the bin! It's shiny, slick and ergonomic I love it..sad but these things make me happy 😊

I keep my bin in the kitchen by the sink for any peelings from vegetables whilst I cook. I use a recyclable bag to hold the waste so I have less to clean when I throw the remains in my compost dalek or my green bin. The unit contains the smell really well and it is possible to open it easily whilst my hand is full of to peel directly into the large opening of the bin to avoid wasting water to capture peelings then rinse away residue after transfer to the bin.We are encouraged in our area to also put food leftovers or meat preparation waste in the green bin but I can’t bring myself to leave rotting remains in direct sunlight for up to a week and then throw them by hand into the green bin as the bags (even recyclable ones) have to be thrown in the black general waste bin. I imagine the smell alone would force me to throw the whole thing in the black bin to get rid of it.The bin is very sturdy and looks great on the worktop, I have a feeling this will last a good while even with the content often causing condensation in the lid that can run down into the main body of the bin. I do make sure that I wipe the insides with a soapy water solution (washing up liquid) rather than disinfectant as it can make plastic brittle over time.The bin contains more than a weeks worth of veggie peelings for me I imagine it would contain enough for a week of about a 3/4 person family but if you put both peelings and leftovers / meat in there I would say it would need to be emptied at least every two to three days in summer.

This is my second purchase. The size is perfect to fit in my kitchen. It is very easy to clean. It meets my needs and expectations.

Great food waste caddy. I bought this specifically so that I could remove the lid to easily empty the caddy. As previous versions I've had have been awkward to empty. This is also very easy to clean. My only concern is during the summertime, the fruit flies will get in easily as the lid doesn't form a seal.

These compost bins are aesthetically pleasing to keep near sink on kitchen ‘island’, super easy to clean / great design .. and just the right size .. I really love the one my daughter gave us .. and have bought two more for another house ..

Very good product, easy to use and air tight to keep annoying little flies out.

I am really pleased with this food caddy. I have tried many, and I can definitely say this is the best yet. It is very sturdy and holds a lot of recycling food waste and just looks nice in my kitchen! I use bags inside it so it stays spotless but I'm sure if you put the waste in directly without a bag, it would be easy to keep clean. It seals well so there are no nasty odours escaping. All in all, good value for money for a sturdy but nice looking addition to your kitchen.

We've been without one for a while now, not sure why.So, getting the right size to sit on the kitchen counter was most important as we like minimalist and mostly unoccupied space if possible.It arrived the very next day with Prime, well packed.Item is full grey coloured plastic, sturdy body, detachable lid and a handle that swings both ways.It's breakable for sure, but which food bin caddy isn't?!We put green decomposing bags in as shown on photo to avoid constant wash of the caddy.That said, food will smell onto the plastic, so after every use, we clean it out with antibacterial wipes.Green bag will be loose and thus make it harder to make it not collapse into caddy when food remains added. So, to avoid this happening, we remove the lid, stretch the green bag around before putting the lid back in, and with that securing the bag in the lid clip.It is so easy to use, cleans out well, doesn't smell, seals perfectly, is also stable, sturdy, compact, and of course of a light weight.It's without a doubt a value for money, and I'd recommend a small family to buy this if they don't have a big amount of food waste on a daily basis.
