Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - why so cheap - this is why
the devil is in the details
- made in red china (saves you cash, slowly ruins the dollar)
- made of 18/8 stainless steel (good, but NOT the best)
- has holes to permit rapid BREEDING of fruit-flies (enjoy!)
Why O why should a mfr be SO CHEAP as to opt for 18/8 stainless
instead of the much better 18/10 stainless steel. It figures:
they stoop to having the stuff made in officially atheist red
China, and you wonder why they should withhold spending extra
money on selecting 18/10 S/S (instead of the inferior 18/8)?
Rating: - No Smell!
I've been waiting on my compost hoop to arrive, and in the mean time have been throwing produce scraps into this pail. It's been 2 weeks and there is absolutely no smell. Great product.
Rating: - Perfect Pail
Attractive pail that you don't have to hide. I have mine right on the counter where I do my food prep. So convenient and nice to look at. It's a generous gallon size, I empty it about every fourth or fifth day. I line it with plastic bags (saved veggie bags from the supermarket) so I don't have to wash the pail out every time I empty it; instead of taking the pail outside, I just grab the plastic bag full of scraps, this really works for me. I had no problems with the screws coming loose like the other reviewer but I did check if they were tight, which they were, I guess it is a good idea to check ... Read More
Rating: - Too small and loose screws
This is a nice looking item but its use should depend on the volume of organic matter you produce and frequency of use.
If you cook and compost everyday or maybe even every other day, you wont need the charcoal filters because the smells will not have time to be generated. Also daily use caused screws to be loose, both handle screws and also the one on top of the lid (No locking washers!) and I lost 2 of them in the large outside bin. These screws seem impossible to replace. So it looks good, but not really practical. I use it as a nice, expensive can, lined with a plastic bag.
Rating: - novice composters, read on
Maybe I'm just a little slow, but I didn't realize that this pail was just an intermediary step in the composting process. It holds all your kitchen clippings until you are ready to make the trek outside to your real composting bin. For some reason, I thought I could make dirt in my own kitchen. Now I need to get a real composting bin for outside! Oh well, it's a good-looking pail, and it gets the job done -- no smells are emanating from it.
