This bin was also difficult to use because the lid was sticky and tight it required two hands to open.
#WIRECUTTER VITAMIX PLUS#
On the plus side, this is the only stainless steel bin that’s dishwasher safe. RSVP International Endurance Stainless Steel Compost Pail: This stainless steel bin’s capacity is small (1-gallon capacity) and despite having two charcoal filters in the lid, it began to smell at the beginning of testing, which got stronger as the days passed.A few benefits though: The plastic insert is very easy to clean and use, and doesn't require filters. The bin started smelling right away and by day 9 the scent was strong. While it holds 4 liters, the bin is very narrow and difficult to fill with more oddly shaped scraps. SimpleHuman Compost Caddy: The SimpleHuman compost caddy is directed to a very specific consumer: a SimpleHuman garbage can owner who produces very few food scraps.The nail in the compost coffin: It's small (one-gallon capacity). The lid has two charcoal filters, which do a good job absorbing odor, but they're difficult to remove. It lost points because it was difficult to use and clean, and it's pricey at $40. NorPro Stainless Steel Compost Keeper: The NorPro almost made it into the top three it didn’t smell at all or have any bugs.This bin is easy to open and is dishwasher-safe. It's also one of the only bins where I found fruit flies. Bamboozle Food Compost Bin: The Bamboozle is probably the most aesthetically pleasing of the bunch, and it’s made out of biodegradable bamboo fibers, but it’s on the smaller side and had a slight smell from the beginning of testing-despite having space for one charcoal filter.During testing, the white wood model attracted stains from compost debris, such as beets.
#WIRECUTTER VITAMIX UPGRADE#
Upgrade to a larger model, and you’re in for over $200. Unfortunately, the petite size fills up quickly, and starts at $160. Choose a handcrafted walnut or magnolia wood base, and fill it with a lidded stainless steel hotel pan, and you’ve got one expensive compost bin.
Alasaw Noaway Countertop Walnut Wood Compost Bin: This pricey bin is all about aesthetics.However, it’s $11 more than the Enloy, so we'd still recommend buying that instead. Prep & Savour Dustin 1.3 Gallon Kitchen Composter: Similar to our current stainless steel top pick from Enloy, this model hit the mark for a filter-lined compost bin: it contains two charcoal filters, has a snug-fitting lid, and has a spacious capacity.And, finally, the lid regularly popped off its hinges, inviting fruit flies. The tapered bottom caused the container to topple over multiple times during testing, spilling compost all over the counter. Rosti Modern Compact Compost Bin: Although it’s a looker (not something we typically say about compost bins), this model was too small to be practical for a family or enthusiastic cooks.The downsides: the lid must be hand-washed, and it costs more than double our current plastic compost bin top pick from OXO.
It can also be safely stored in a freezer (if you have the room in yours, that is!). It comes in two sleek colors, is generously-sized, and traps smells inside-despite its lack of a charcoal filter. Five Two Down-to-Earth Compost Bin: A quietly luxurious pick that performs well, this modern-looking bin was pretty great.Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik The Competition
