I looked for a long time for a counter-top container for compost, and this is the closest I found. It's far more attractive than the plastic ice cream buckets I've been using. My primary complaint is the size. Unless you're really generating compost in your kitchen, there's no way you'd fill this before it needs emptying for smell alone. A smaller bucket would take up less counter space as well. I always put an unbleached coffee filter in the bottom as it makes emptying into the outside compost much easier (nothing sticks to the bottom), but this bin is too large a diameter to fully cover with one. A smaller one would solve both problems. Other than size, it seems well made. Will update my review after I've used it a year.
