Utopia Kitchen Countertop Compost Bin Kitchen with Charcoal Filter -1.3gallon Stainless Steel Kitchen Compost Bin Countertop - Ideal Kitchen Essentials or Small Composter for Under The Sink Trash

It’s not every day you get something at a good price point that delivers on its promises. But this one does. No oder, easy wash, looks great in the kitchen. Use a trash can liner if you want to let your scraps sit for a few days.

I am in my second year of composting and wish I had gotten this sooner! VERY smell proof - a plus over their plastic kitchen compost collection bins. Easy cleaning and sturdy. I do like the knob to pull off the cover, the filer does help (or so I think) with the smell. Totally worth the buy!

I have two of these. They are fantastic. 🎉🎉 I use one to store kitchen scraps for my chickens and my worms. And I use the other for scraps that go to my compost pile. There is no smell. Easy cleanup, lightweight but sturdy, and they look nice on my counter. I love them 🎉

Not sure HOW, but gnats easily get inside the unit & can lay larvae on the underside of the filter. Solved the problem by putting a piece of cling wrap stretched between the container & the lid. Other than that, the unit does a good job. Well built. No smells. Looks nice on my countertop. Would buy again but just beware of the possible gnat issue because once they get going you've got a war on your hands!

We really love this food scrap container! There is no smell and that means no fruit flies. We have had stuff in there for 2 or more weeks. We have bought the extra carbon filters which you do not need to change very often. Probably twice since we bought it in 2024. We also bought the earth friendly compost bags. They do disintegrate in the compost pile. This is such a win win. No yucky scraps go in the regular garbage to stink up the place. I would definitely but again, great quality for the price, it is stainless steel, easy to wash up and will probably last forever. The bags we get for it are the 2.6 food scrap bags which I will put in a review for also.

I really love this compost bin. I bought it to replace my other one which got dented but looked very similar. This one is even better. It is sturdier all around. Comes with charcoal filter replacement discs. Easy to clean stainless steel. Large opening and large bin.

We love this sturdy little bin for under the kitchen sink, although it looks nice enough (we got the copper color) that I think it could even sit out on the counter. It locks in smells when the lid is on and the smell actually isn’t even too bad when you pop the lid off to toss something inside. We’re very pleased and are excited to reduce our food waste in such a convenient way!

*Update:* Sorry, it's been slightly longer than six months since my original review but I wanted to come back to change my review from four stars to five because even after consistent daily use this bin is holding up great. No rust, no loosening of the handle, and best of all no leaking at the seams like I was afraid might happen. We've only changed the charcoal filter three times but never notice any odor from the can. We also noticed that the charcoal filter also effectively stops any maggots from growing...that was a gross but definitely illuminating discovery made while waiting for a new charcoal filter order to arrive. My best guess is that it actually stops the flies from getting in to lay eggs....*shudder*. All in all I 100% recommend this compost bin. Original review from 1/21/17: The bin's simple stainless steel design is sleek & attractive. It's a great size to sit on our 6" kitchen window sill with only a little over 1" hanging off & it's very well weighted so it stays in place without any danger of tipping over or falling off. It will hold at least a week of our kitchen scraps in a 2 person household & the charcoal filter is amazing for knocking out all smell. The inside of the can is very smooth so it's easy to rinse out any residue. I only have three cons but they aren't deal breakers. One, the biggest one, is that the seams on the bottom of the can are visible & though it seems well crafted, I'm a bit concerned it may end up leaking over time. That could just be paranoia from prior experiences though, so I'll try to update in 6 months or immediately if it starts to leak. Secondly, the finish does show water splashes & finger prints a bit so I have to wipe it down thoroughly every couple days to keep it looking nice. And lastly, if the bin gets too full it starts to press up into the charcoal filter in the lid so it gets it kind of grimy & can even push it out of its slot if you keep pushing the lid on when the bin is full. Simplest solution....don't be so lazy & just go empty the bin before it gets to that level. I just need to keep training myself & my guy to do that. ;) And I might actually cut a small piece of flexible metal screen to slide into place to keep the food from actually making contact with the charcoal filter. All in all it's a good purchase & we're pleased with it.

Sehr hübsch und super Größe. Nachdem ich mir die Rezensionen durchgelesen hatte, war ich etwas hin und her gerissen. Aber der Eimer entspricht absolut meinen Erwartungen und meinen Ansprüchen. Optisch macht er einen sehr hübschen Eindruck und vom reinigungsaufwand ist er super. Einfach auswaschen fertig. Den Härtetest hat er geruchsmässig ebenfalls mit sehr gut bestanden. Ich habe Essig-Gewürz-Gurken hineingegeben und ihn extra Tage lang in der Küche stehen lassen. Da kam gar nichts an Geruch heraus, erst wenn man den Deckel hoch nahm. Der Deckel hat im übrigen keine Gummilippe und schließt nicht dicht ab, denn es sind ja Löcher im Deckel, die mit der Kohlematte versehen sind. Es kann also gar kein Unterdruck entstehen, sodass man sehr wohl mit nur einer Hand und ohne Kraftaufwand den Deckel anheben kann, um mit der anderen Hand die Bioabfälle einzufüllen. Die kohlematte lässt sich mit etwas Geschick gut herausnehmen und die neue wieder einsetzen. Ich denke, wenn man etwas aufpasst, dass der Rand sauber bleibt und der Deckel nicht vollkommen schmutzig wird, wird der Eimer kaum Probleme bereiten und sehr lange halten. Da man ihn heiß abwaschen kann und er keine Unmengen hineinfüllen kann, muss man ihn sicher nicht in die Spülmaschine stecken. Als Fazit: meiner Meinung nach ist dies ein wirklich guter Komposteimer und sein Geld auch wert.

We have only had this a few days but so far are very impressed. It is very solid and well engineered with a quality finish - better than expected and as good as if not better I hoped for which doesn't happen very often!! It looks great on the counter top. It is much higher quality than some bins I have seen. The sides are silid, and not flimsy, it is well balanced, not top heavy, and it has a brushed effect on the main bin section which looks great. The lid fits really well. I twist the top of the compost bags and knot at the side of the rim to stop them slipping down as there isn't a hoop or other fixing, but I think this is perfectly fine. NIce and simple with no parts to lose or break. A big elastic band could be another option of you find it awkward to tie knots. Bins with holes in the lid like this are so much better than ones with solid tops as moisture does not build up inside, so there are no nasty drips when you lift the lid up. Yay! And the charcoal filter is very effective at stopping smells from onions etc. I am not sure if I will go to the expense of buying more when the one supplied and the spare run out, but probably will get a couple for the the height of summer. And for me, the BEST PART is having no plastic inner bucket or paint on the outside - just pure metal, keeping additives and pollution to a minimum (I hope). Plus, for me, the inner buckets always seem to get in the way. I would prefer UK made bin, but this seems to be impossible. If it were 10% bigger it would be completely perfect but the size is actually fine. It does say "Utopia Kitchen" on the lid in small-ish letters, which I think could be moved to the side, but on the other hand if I had made something as nice as this, I would want the logo to be seen as well! I have been looking for a bin like this for a long time and am really happy with it. I hope this lasts as long as it looks like it should! Hurrah!!

Es de acero inoxidable, duradero y fácil d limpiar. Hasta la fecha utilizaba un cubo de plástico de compostaje. El cambio ha sido muy bueno, aunque este es más pequeño y tengo que vaciarlo más a menudo. Para limpiarlo es mucho mejor. Tiro muchas cáscaras y restos de verduras y hortalizas. Tengo compostadores en el jardín de casa. Este recipiente lo tengo en la cocina, y la verdad es que es muy elegante. La única pega, el tamaño para mi, me gustaría más grande. Pero para un piso está bien.

Me encantó ! Es de buen tamaño, se limpia fácilmente y el filtro ayuda a que no suelta olor desagradable ni hay mosquitos, lo recomiendo!
