Perfnique Kitchen Compost Bin

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.

The compost bin looks so pretty in my kitchen, it has a smaller bin inside that helps in keeping it clean and what’s great is the cover has a charcoal disc that keeps the smells inside the bin. I love it!

Quality is great! Stylish look in my kitchen. I love composting and this bin makes it easy. No smell! I love the easy to use bags that are also compostable. The bags are included which makes the value for the money even better! A must have!!!!

This bin is just what I was looking for when I started composting - a cute container that can sit on the kitchen counter to collect food scraps. I like that it has a removable inner bucket that is easy to take out to be emptied and washed. It also came with a charcoal filter that fits fairly loosely in the inside of the lid.2 minor issues:1. The charcoal filter falls out pretty easily. Mine fell out when I was emptying the bin and I didn’t notice until it was too late. If the filter was just a little bigger it would stay in better, I think2. The wire handle for the inner bucket was too small to stay out of the bucket - it hung down inside. I tried to reshape it so it would rest on the top edge of the bucket as intended, but then it didn’t fit in the holes it attaches to. I ended up just removing the handle and it’s usable without it.

We use this all the time! This countertop compost bin is SO handy!! Rather than running to the compost bin multiple times a day, this bin makes it easy to collect scraps and then empty as needed. The plastic bin inside is easy to remove and holds a decent amount of waste. It is also easy to wash. The metal exterior container and lid provide a nice look for your countertop. The filter inside the lid is great and helps to control flies and gnats.

love it, it is just the right size, lid seals well, has filter in the top, easy to open, inside canister comes out has its own handle to. keeps the nasty smells under control, easy to clean, built very well. built very well nice slick paint job on the outside.

This is a great functional counter compost can. Looks attractive. Easy to clean. Capacity works well. No smell. I empty it and bury the contents in my yard for the soil microbiome about once a week. My plants are loving it. The only thing is that if you fill it too full the filter on the lid gets gunked up and you'll have to wash it out. Comes with an extra filter which is a nice bonus. Decent price.

Great indoor compost bin. Looks great on the counter and keeps the fruit flies away!
