 Just what I needed... February 16, 2006

This unit is well build, and things actually fit together quite nicely. Some cheaper unit requires you to push or pull the top to get a tight seal. It is attractive looking, and the stainless steel material also means that you don't have to worry about dropping it (except the mess) and you can also take a soft steel wool and scrape the hell out of if you need to.
P.S I have yet to try this myself, but I know there are special corn-based lining for compost piles - this may make clean up easier.

Although this appears to be nothing more than an expensive stainless steel bucket, it is perfect for my kitchen scrap storage. The filter really does keep the odor from my kitchen. I find it can hold about a week's worth of scraps (unless I get crazy cooking). The wide mouth allows me to put the vegie peels or coffee grounds in without touching anything inside or spilling it all over the counter. It's easy to empty, and easy to clean. It looks nice on my countertop, unlike the plastic pail I had previously. I have had this for about 6 weeks now, and the filter appears to be working just fine. I will have to find out about replacements.
 So many good qualities, but one terrible flaw December 5, 2007

Initially, I loved this composter- the lid fits tightly and is easy to open with one hand. It looks OK on the counter. It is light and well designed for carrying. BUT the holes in the lid are large and it quickly became a fruit fly magnet. It was such a disappointment. I am going to go back to using a cylindrical truly airtight container.

This is a great, no smell, easy to carry, empty, and clean compost container solution. I have not looked in to replacing the charcoal filters. If that is reasonably priced and available, this is a five star item.

This compost keeper is very sturdy. It holds enough vegetable scraps to be useful. However, you really need to line the container with a plastic bag and remove the garbage before any mold forms. Even with the plastic bag, you need to carefully wash and treat the can with a disinfectant. The filters are effective in reducing odors from the container, but they can become moldy as well if you don't happen to open the lid and notice the mold when it first starts to grow. That is, this keeper is not a composter. You need to move the garbage to your composter fairly frequently.
