OXO Good Grips Easy-Clean Compost Bin - Charcoal - 6.62 L, Plastic, Charcoal, 6.6L

Really useful and easy to clean. Great sturdy little counter-top compost bin, easy to carry, lid comes off to go in the dishwasher. I am very impressed. Fits loads in it, looks tidy.

Best kitchen compost caddy I've ever owned. It not only looks good, it is extremely well designed, and is really easy to clean. It has a stay open lid, and the lid is removable, allowing easy insertion and removal of a liner, which is is secured by the rim. Really good value for money.

Excellent bin good size, easy to empty and keep clean.

Perfect size, perfect design with an easy to lift lid than is heavy enough to both close shut and stay upright whilst you put things in. Edited: I've knocked a star off my initial review, as after using the caddy for a few weeks and during the very hot spell of weather, I found that I had an infestation of hundreds, maybe thousands of fruit flies, who had somehow managed to get into the caddy. I do not know how they get in, as on inspection of the caddy it seems that there are no holes or grooves that they could get in, but get in they still do! I also make very sure that when I place items into the caddy that no fruit flies are around, so that they can get into the caddy and breed, hence the swarm that comes out everytime I now open it. I wash it, use clean bags in it etc. So, although I think this is a good design, possibly better than others, not sure, fruit flies seem to be like slugs, they seem to be able to make themselves paper thin and get into the slightest of cracks. Again, I have no idea how they are getting into my caddy.

Let me start by saying this isn't cheap! But in the last 6-9 months we've had two 'cheap' Compost Bins, and they've both fallen apart very quickly. It's early days with this OXO item, but it does feel very much more robustly built than the bins we had before, so I hope the extra investment will result in a much longer lifespan and therefore better value. It's great that the lid is easily removable (although it remains to be seen if repeated removal and refitting of the lid breaks the fixing and/or hinge), and we really like the smooth inner lining, which makes removing the contents and cleaning it so much easier. If I find it falls apart more rapidly than anticipated I'll update this review, but otherwise we're very happy with it and would recommend it.

I keep my bin in the kitchen by the sink for any peelings from vegetables whilst I cook. I use a recyclable bag to hold the waste so I have less to clean when I throw the remains in my compost dalek or my green bin. The unit contains the smell really well and it is possible to open it easily whilst my hand is full of to peel directly into the large opening of the bin to avoid wasting water to capture peelings then rinse away residue after transfer to the bin. We are encouraged in our area to also put food leftovers or meat preparation waste in the green bin but I can’t bring myself to leave rotting remains in direct sunlight for up to a week and then throw them by hand into the green bin as the bags (even recyclable ones) have to be thrown in the black general waste bin. I imagine the smell alone would force me to throw the whole thing in the black bin to get rid of it. The bin is very sturdy and looks great on the worktop, I have a feeling this will last a good while even with the content often causing condensation in the lid that can run down into the main body of the bin. I do make sure that I wipe the insides with a soapy water solution (washing up liquid) rather than disinfectant as it can make plastic brittle over time. The bin contains more than a weeks worth of veggie peelings for me I imagine it would contain enough for a week of about a 3/4 person family but if you put both peelings and leftovers / meat in there I would say it would need to be emptied at least every two to three days in summer.

The lid fits flush which I was worried about cause we've had fruit flies before and it doesnt seem to attract them after 5 weeks of use. Doesn't smell when the lids closed. Looks great, matches the appliances. Its easy to clean theres no fussy bits. Compost bag edge is hidden by the lid frame. Lid comes off and can then be separated from the frame..not sure it's meant to be removed by bending right back until it snaps off but that how I've been doing it and it seems fine, it snaps back on securely so really sturdy...I would check the instructions on that first though in case its just luck that it hasnt broken! It gets emptied probably twice a week, only starts getting wet inside if there's packet salad as that stuff rots quickly, but peelings and fruit seems fine. Can go on the counter but I keep it on the floor next to the bin so people remember put food in there instead of the bin! It's shiny, slick and ergonomic I love it..sad but these things make me happy 😊

We've been without one for a while now, not sure why. So, getting the right size to sit on the kitchen counter was most important as we like minimalist and mostly unoccupied space if possible. It arrived the very next day with Prime, well packed. Item is full grey coloured plastic, sturdy body, detachable lid and a handle that swings both ways. It's breakable for sure, but which food bin caddy isn't?! We put green decomposing bags in as shown on photo to avoid constant wash of the caddy. That said, food will smell onto the plastic, so after every use, we clean it out with antibacterial wipes. Green bag will be loose and thus make it harder to make it not collapse into caddy when food remains added. So, to avoid this happening, we remove the lid, stretch the green bag around before putting the lid back in, and with that securing the bag in the lid clip. It is so easy to use, cleans out well, doesn't smell, seals perfectly, is also stable, sturdy, compact, and of course of a light weight. It's without a doubt a value for money, and I'd recommend a small family to buy this if they don't have a big amount of food waste on a daily basis.

Muito pequeno.

The lack of corners inside and the removable lid makes this bin super easy to wash. It has a smaller footprint and doesn’t take up too much space on the counter.
