We've owned this ceramic Norpro counter-top compost pail for over a year now and use it constantly.Norpro 1 Gallon Ceramic Compost Keeper, WhiteWe love it! We also use the Norpro carbon filter Replacement Filters for the Norpro Kitchen Compost Crock (set of 6) in the lid and the degradable compost bags, also by Norpro. Norpro Degradable Compost Bags, 50 PiecesWe live in a rural area, where fruit flies, no-see-ums, and gnats can be a big problem. And it gets HOT here in the summer time! Yet we have experienced none of the problems with odor, fruit flies, or gnats that some other reviewers have described. Not once! Nor have we experienced any of the other problems mentioned by other reviewers, such as problems with the handle or chipping, poor fitting lid, etc.We especially like the size of this compost pail. It's just right for holding our compostable kitchen waste until our next trip to the garden. The liner keeps the pail clean. The liners are sized generously enough that there's no "overflow". It's easy to lift out the compost-filled liner, put a twist-tie (included with the liners) around it, and take it to the garden. We've never had a leak or split. No mess at all! And the compost pail stays clean as a whistle!It's been our experience that the filter in the lid does exactly what it's supposed to do -- unless you don't empty your compost pail when you should! (We've made that mistake a couple of times.) If you let the pail get too full and your kitchen waste come in contact with the filter, the filter will start to mold and mildew. And then you have to replace it. (Maybe that's what attracts the fruit flies, etc.?)We couldn't be happier with this product, or with its accessory products by Norpro. It's such a clean and convenient way to keep our compostable kitchen waste until our next trip to the garden! It doesn't take up much space, and it looks nice on our kitchen counter, too!We would definitely purchase this item again!

I knew when I saw this print I had to get it for my wife. She has several pieces with flowers and butterflies in blue. We have a lot of veggie scraps and egg shells for the compost pile and a strainer full of them on the kitchen counter was not an option. This crock is large enough to hold a typical day's worth of compostable stuff. It comes with a "filter" that can be removed and washed.The first few times we emptied it, the bail came off. The hooks, or "handles" on either side can be tightened with a pair of pliars but we didn't want to risk damaging it. This problem is easy to work around by holding the bail to the side of the crock and carefully tipping it into the bin.Pros -- Pattern matches almost any decor; item is sturdy and when properly used, odor freeCons -- As you can see from the picture, lid is not always a perfect fit; the "filter" should be replaceablle; the bail handle comes loose

Looks great and very durable, mine fell off the countertop and didn’t chip or crack. Only small downside is the bag often slips down inside but it’s a small inconvenience to deal with for a cute compost bin
