Review: Quality Product that looks great! - A perfect size compost bin that doesn't need emptied for about a week, and will look great in any kitchen. The lid has a seal that sits inside the bin and keeps the smells inside with no overflow like other bins. I was not sure I would need the bags, but now I can't believe how much easier it is with them. Thus buying this with the bags was an excellent way to find out if the bags are for you and the price for them in this package deal is worth it! The delivery and packaging is good with no chance of it getting damaged in transit. Out of all the choices of compost bins on this website, I would highly recommend this one - I have had this for nearly a month and I know it's the best one we have ever had. Review: As kitchen compost bins go this is a good one. - Nice colour and easy to use, Inner bin comes out for easy emptying and cleaning. Also compostable bags work well and are stronger than I expected. ## Features - Metal Composting Bin - Removeable inner bucket for easy cleaning - Lid features a seal to help keep smells inside - Caddy size - 200mm (diameter) x 210mm (h) approx. - Supplied with compsting advice guide ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009TD89O8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 948,962 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 352 in Indoor Compost Bins | | Brand | The Caddy Company | | Capacity | 2.5 litres | | Colour | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (83) | | Date First Available | 19 Oct. 2012 | | Item Weight | 900 g | | Material | Metal | | Model Number | A | | Package Dimensions | 24 x 22.4 x 22.1 cm; 900 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** The Caddy Company - **Capacity:** 2.5 litres - **Colour:** Red - **Item weight:** 0.9 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** The Caddy Company - **Material:** Metal - **Shape:** Cylindrical ## Images ![Red Metal Kitchen Compost Caddy - Composting Bin for Food Waste Recycling with guide to composting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/416Z2jBucnL.jpg) ![Red Metal Kitchen Compost Caddy - Composting Bin for Food Waste Recycling with guide to composting - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4176trSaz9L.jpg) ![Red Metal Kitchen Compost Caddy - Composting Bin for Food Waste Recycling with guide to composting - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41AxOQ3je9L.jpg) ![Red Metal Kitchen Compost Caddy - Composting Bin for Food Waste Recycling with guide to composting - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Emo5RVTbL.jpg) ![Red Metal Kitchen Compost Caddy - Composting Bin for Food Waste Recycling with guide to composting - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41JqEASlPmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Product that looks great! *by T***1 on 28 April 2014* A perfect size compost bin that doesn't need emptied for about a week, and will look great in any kitchen.
