KitchenCraft Living Nostalgia, Kitchen Compost Bin, Metal, 16.5cm x 24 cm, Duck Egg Blue

Very happy with this. It looks great and it’s very good quality! Easy to keep clean. The size it great to keep it on kitchen counter and be able to easily clean up all your food scraps.

Good quality for the money, does what it says. Fast delivery, odour resistant, the lid is easy to open and close, love the handle. The filter being in the lid is easy to replace when need to and the whole thing feels sturdy.

For my purposes, this is ideal, but others might want something different. Purchased July 2023, now March 2024 and I'm still really happy with the product. This bin quickly attracted loads of fruit flies, because it has holes in the lid. I have no clue why they put holes in it. Using a carbon filter was completely useless, you just get all the odour still plus fruit flies, so I just taped up the lid inside with packaging tape. Only had to do this once and the tape has stayed on. I've had zero issues with flies/odour around the bin ever since. The bin is pretty small (see photo with banana for size comparison lol), but it's perfect for me in a household where we cook at least 2 meals per day that generate fruit and veg scraps. I have to empty it once per day. The lid: there is a narrow rubber strip set into the lip of the lid (see photo). This is to create a seal to prevent odour from escaping. This works fine, however be aware that food will get stuck under the rubber seal and you'll need to remove the rubber strip and scrub everything, then put the seal back on. Over time, I can see the seal will probably wear out quite quickly doing this, which is a downside, however for the time being it the rubber seal is not deteriorating, and it does work to keep odour in the bin. Another review mentioned rusting on the lid, and it's true it will get some rust on it, however if you look at my pictures you'll see it's not too bad. Zero rusting inside the bin, and I wash mine out just with water every day. This metal bin definitely beats buying a plastic one. It's great environmentally speaking, and aesthetically it has a classy old-time appeal. Great for the price.

I love this compost bin. It sits on my worktop and has a lovely retro look. It holds a good amount of vegetable peelings skins and stalks and due to the filter in the lid does not smell before its full and emptied into the garden compost bin. As its metal it can be immersed in the washing up and thoroughly cleaned. A nice looking useful addition to the kitchen.

Recently my other half has been obsessed with three colours, "duck egg blue", "Charcoal Grey" and a light yellow. This has resulted in everything that we need all of a sudden becoming one of those three colours.. I was therefore very pleased when I found this compost bin in the duck egg that she seems to be obsessed with at the moment - who knows how long this trend will last! What will last, however, is this perfectly sized, sturdy - but light, ideal compost bin! Things that I noticed straight away (other than the colour which looks great next to our "duck egg" .. everything else!) were that there are two hefty looking handles. The handle that is used for carrying the bin out to your compost bin/food waste bin feels very strong and takes the weight of a full compost bin easily. The second handle is definitely needed as well due to the seal around the lid of this bin. This seal is crucial as it keeps the smell in and any fruit flies out! There is also a piece of charcoal that absorbs any bad smells in the first place which is cleverly hidden in the lid. One of the best selling points of this Compost bin is that it is the perfect size to sit on your kitchen counter. Not too big that it takes up too much space but big enough that you do not need to empty it all of the time! Very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone - even those not addicted to certain colour ranges! An excellent product that fits in our kitchen perfectly and fulfils all our composting needs!

Seems to be a well finished and solidly built bin. Looks good. The lid does not fit at all well. There is a rubber seal around the joint, but it seems too fat for the lid to go down properly. It needs two hands to get on and off and never fully closes (hinged with a better fitting seal would be ideal). There are also vent holes on the lid with a bit of course sponge behind it (as I have seen on some similar compost caddies). I'm not sure why this is needed as you don't need to get air in there, the food waste is only going to be there for a day or so before moving outside. The holes seem to cause quite a lot of fruit flies to get in and out.

Great product, looks great in kitchen.

This is absolutely perfect! Not only does it look nice, it holds a sensible amount of waste which makes it easy to carry to the compost bin. Odour free. Great quality container. It has been a game changer

Bought this product mid May with an estimated delivery date at the end of May. The delivery day kept being postponed and I couldn't even cancel this order. I finally received this product end of September. Waited 4 months for a bad product. The lid doesn't even close properly and is hard to open again. If you have some time and money to waste, then I recommend to buy this product. Otherwise just buy something cheaper with a better quality and quicker delivery date.

I'm loving the little compost container. Ours is pale shade between aqua and gray/blue, and adds a nice pop of color as it sits on the counter top next to our sink. It is a good size for us: 4 3/4" W x 6 1/2" L x 8" H (without lid) or about 8 5/8" H with lid (minus handle on lid). It is not too large to be obtrusive and when it fills we can easily empty it into our backyard compost bin. The lid is snug fitting and has so far kept smells and fruit flies at bay. I also like the fact ours came with 2 carbon filters, which fit inside the lid and cover the breathable holes in the lid.

My mom loved it for mother’s day! I do wish it was a tiny bit bigger as it filled up quickly, but other then that it is super cute and does look very nice in the kitchen.

This is the cutest little compost bin! I searched long and hard for the right bin that would compliment our kitchen (we have an open concept kitchen, so I was especially picky). I love that it's rectangular, has a handle, and has a carbon filter. It seals nicely, so fruitflies have not been an issue. Great gift idea! But note that it takes a few weeks to ship to Canada. I already ordered another one for my mom.

Mi serviva proprio un contenitore piccolo per raccogliere l’umido e poi svuotarlo nel secchio principale: per questo scopo è perfetto ed è anche molto carino da vedere. Se pensate di usarlo come unico contenitore per l’umido di più giorno è un po’ piccolo.
