Joseph Joseph Intelligent Waste, Stack 4 Kitchen Food Waste Compost Caddy Recycling Bin with Odour Filter, 4 Litre / 1 Gallon - Stone

When our council made recycling mandatory last year I looked at this and thought it was too expensive.We had failed at food recycling in previous years because it’s just grim isn’t it? Smelly boxes with bags that are ill fitting and then along come the flies. Not to mention the ugliness .... ours were Flimsy And brown with council branding.After much deliberation I bought one and I’m so happy! It looks sleeker and smarter in the kitchen and is well made.The filter at the top was easy to install. The set came with 1. I’m told they last about 8 weeks and cost about £6 for a pack of two.It didn’t come with any bags so I used our standard food waste bags from the council. They fit easily by using the designated hole at the back to tighten the fit (sounds more complicated than it is)I like the width of it- it is slightly wider than my council bin so scrapping food off plates is easier.No flies present and no smell and no bin sweat every time I open it.I am never disappointed with Joseph Joseph products and this one is one of my favs!

A bit pricier than others but worth it for the way it is so user friendly. Material it is made from won’t rust. The lid is easy to operate with your hands full. The filter is in a separate compartment, so doesn’t get covered in veg remains. The whole thing is easy to clean and looks great too.

Have had my eye on this for a while and was pleased to be able to purchase at reduced cost. Unlike a lot of other food waste bins it has a handle, lid, filter to stop smells and also has the facility to tuck waste bags in so they don't look untidy or sink into the bin. No nasty ehiffs and you don't have to use the branded waste bags. As food waste bins go it looks nice on the worktop!

Really clever design, and pleasingly practical. Compostable bags (which ideally need to be bought separately, as shop bought bags aren’t the right shape) tuck in neatly and invisibly from outside around the internal compartment, the lid opens easily, the double shell system ensures that smells are contained and that the contents don’t overheat, and the carbon filter on the lid works very effectively.The only (and for me, sadly major) drawback is that the colour of the caddy illustrated in the item description - described rather vaguely as Stone - is very far from the near perfect white misleadingly shown in the various illustrions, and is much more of a muddy brown. See the picture taken from life on delivery against the illustrations in the item description (one included to show the difference).The vendor acknowledged this was a problem, but said that they were unable to do anything about it, as Amazon supplied the pictures, and they were unable to alter them. The caddy really didn’t fit colour-wise in our new kitchen, and we returned it for a refund. However, we had to pay for the return ourselves. Do make sure therefore that a much darker and browner stone shade than that illustrated is what you want before buying, or choose a different colour. Unfortunately, no white caddy is available in this design from this manufacturer.

This is so much nicer than the council provided one we had before. The lid stays up if you want it to. Nice size and weight. Looks good on the kitchen side.

Looks great on my worktop and easy to clean. Excellent quality. I use green waste bags from the supermarket which fit well. No need to buy the expensive Joseph Joseph bags.

Easy to use, no smells leak, hides away in a corner by the sink. Would definitely recommend.

great Waste caddy,great design and workmanship
