In principle this compost collector works well. It allows me to make fewer trips to my backyard composter. I bought biodegradable plastic bags for the inside, though, as I was having to clean it each time I dumped the contents outside. The biggest problem I'm having is with the carbon filter. It seems to work well enough that I don't smell anything but it attracts fruit flies like crazy. I have also noticed some of them lay their eggs in the filter. Now I'm trying to find a place to put it where I will not have to deal with the fruit flies. I will recommend it with some reservations.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is not a counter top item. I sit it next to my garbage can in the kitchen. It is light weight, does not smell and "clicks" closed easily. WOnderful.

Everyone should compost and everyone with a small kitchen or a two-step compost process must have this item. It is inexpensive, rugged and pretty enough to be on any kitchen counter.

The composter is large enough for a week's worth of vegetable waste but even with the charcoal filters, begins to smell and attracts fruit flies. To use this effectively, one must induce their children to empty it daily!

The compost collector is exactly as described. It is small enough to fit anywhere in the kitchen. No odors, even though we are using the filters. Actually their shouldn't be any foul odors since meat or dairy products are part of the compost. Love it!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I like this compost collector. Its simple and easy to hide under the sink. Having this makes my life easier to transport, yet holds a lot of kitchen waste. It arrived at my home as expected and the price was reasonable.

While you don't need one of these if you're going to collect compost, it's a nice addition to the kitchen for sure. It will keep about 3-5 days worth of material (depending upon your household size and what you're cooking/eating), fits neatly under the sink or in a cabinet, and empties easily into your compost bin or barrel.
After dumping, it will clean easily with some warm, soapy water to remove any residue and the charcoal filter is a great addition to remove any odors in the meantime.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is the perfect answer to just storing scraps throughout the day. Each morning, I can empty the scraps into our big composter outside. It holds all of the days waste & you don't get that nasty smell of refuse just sitting in a scrap bowl.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who is on the go or has a busy household!

I have been composting for years, this is the very best compost holder I have ever found. There is NO smell even if you leave it sitting out in plain view; which you can do as it is a nice looking container. Just wish I could have had one sooner. Best Christmas present I have ever received.

This is a great composter. Easy to clean and use. I still get the fruit flies a a little around the composter, so it does not seal tightly, but we do not smell a thing.

everything is O.K , price is on the upper limit.
This small container should be included in the Home composter; since this is a part of environmental and save the nature topic ,the products should provide some discounted price as an incentive to motivate the public.

We love this compost collector. It's small enough so it doesn't get in our way but large enough to hold about 2 weeks worth of our kitchen scraps. The best part is that it doesn't smell in the kitchen at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to reduce the amount of food scraps in their garbage.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this to use in my kitchen to avoid frequent trips to my big composter outside. I did not find it useful at all because the carbon filter does not reduce odor as advertised. I had to keep it outside which defeats the purpose. Maybe the climate where I live had something to do with it, but have resorted to filling a ziplock baggy under my sink, filling that and reusing it. Wasted $20 + shipping to HI. :(
No, I do not recommend this product.
