Perfnique Kitchen Compost Bin, 1.3 Gallon Countertop Compost Bin with Lid, Indoor Compost Bucket Includes Inner Bucket Liner and Carbon Filter, Small Compost Bin with Trash Bags (with Bags, Grey)

I bought because our state now requires us to separate our food garbage. We kept a big clear plastic food storage container under the sink for the first four months, and it was a pain because we had to work to pull off the lid that sealed on, something you don't want to do when you've got food garbage in your hand. The thing got gross, so I ordered this cute container to replace it. It comes with a small bucket inside of the decorative can. I love that you can pull the bucket out by the drop handle when you want to dump it and not have to touch the bucket. My husband doesn't care for it because the bucket is smaller than the yucky container we were using, but I love it and I've now taken over the job of emptying it. We keep a five-gallon bucket with a lid in the garage and I take the small bucket out once a day, sometimes more often, and dump it into the big bucket, which we dump into the trash can just before trash pick-up. The bucket in the cute can is easy to just rinse out in the sink, and sometimes I clean it with some disinfectant spray and wipe it with a paper towel. The outside can is easy to wipe down if and when it gets anything on it. I bought a package of the filters that go into the lid, and I've only changed it once in the two months that we've had it. It does not stink at all. With the lid on, which includes a handle that sticks up, it fits under the large garbage disposal under our sink. I do have to pull it out to the floor to dump things in it, or I am perfectly comfortable putting it in the sink or on the countertop when I'm chopping vegetables and creating a lot of food refuse. It's so cute and clean that I don't mind it being on the countertop, though I don't want to keep it there all the time; it is a garbage can, after all. I highly recommend it for a home kitchen; it's well made and is very attractive, especially considering that it's a garbage can. You can get larger ones, but I liked the looks of this one and needed a short one to fit under our disposal. I looked at a lot on-line and this had the largest refuse can for its height. If you create a tremendous amount of food garbage, however, this one may be too small for you. As for me, it's perfect.

Love this little compost bin! The inside cover/bucket is so nice to have because you just pull it out and clean it! I bought the compost bags too, which is nice to keep the bucket clean. Regardless, its nice to lift it out and be able to clean it easily. Its also nice that the bag liner doesn't stick out of the container. It all tucks away nicely and looks nice on the countertop.

Sweet, aesthetically pleasing design, perfect size for 1-2 people.

So far it's performed as needed. No smell yet Can't give it a five star until I've used it for some time

Real cute way to hide your compost. Durable yet lightweight and odorless!

Very nice compost bucket! Looks great on the counter. I would recommend.

Very happy with the compost bin (quality, size, etc) and even happier with Perfnique’s awesome customer service. Bags were missing but customer service was very responsive and offered options which were much appreciated. Thank you, Perfnique!!

No odor easy to use. Love it

I recently painted my kitchen and decided to treat myself to all new accoutrements for the kitchen. One thing being a cute compost container rather the ugly plastic monstrosity that I've been using. This item was the cutest little compost bin. May be too small for larger families, but for just us two, it is perfect. It even fits in one of the kitchen drawers, should I want it to be out of sight (that charcoal filter is a great idea) but it's so cute, I may never tuck it away in a drawer!!

Works great and looks good on the counter.

Great to look at, nice finish. Only reservation is it is a tad on the small side.

Well made and stylish

Took a while to be delivered but good sturdy wee kitchen compost bin Inner bucket handy and nice touch with free compostable bags and spare filter
