1 out of 5 stars clunky and awkward...returned it   November 24, 2008
M. Maguire (NY United States)
We have been looking for a good counter top compost bucket. This one is heavy and looked difficult to keep clean. Attractive from the outside but it would get broken easily in my house.

NEEDS NEW HANDLE DESIGN, CONSTANTLY SEPARATES FROM CERAMIC KEEPER. EVENTUALLY FELL OFF WHILE CARRYING IT AND ENTIRE CERAMIC KEEPER SHATTERED.


1 out of 5 stars No tight seal means fruit fly infestation, at least in Colorado   October 23, 2008

I just moved to Boulder, CO where composting seems to be the norm. I don't mind putting my food in a bucket instead of the garbage disposal, but I do mind the fruit flies that come seemingly out of nowhere when I began doing this. I bought this Ceramic compost keeper thinking it would solve the fruit fly problem. It did not. This product does not have a tight seal on the lid and consequently it allows fruit flies to enter and feast and breed on my rotting food until I make a trip out to the compost pile. Pretty disgusting. Other than that, it's okay..looks nice, washes nicely in the dishwasher, doesn't smell. If there is such a place with no fruit flies, it would work just fine there.

This is a good product. I wish it were just a bit larger, though.


1 out of 5 stars too fragile!! :(   September 27, 2008

Like other reviewers have stated, it looks great. However, the first one arrived shattered and I thought it was an anomaly.
Unfortunately this wasn't the case. I found it to be completely impractical (too small) and the replacement shattered within 2 months. The ceramic just isn't made for real life. Too bad.
