Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 1 Gallon Ceramic Compost Keeper, Red
Customer Review: Fire Hydrant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice ceramic piece. I have it in my garden window in the kitchen. It's convenient to put the veggie scraps in during meal prep and when doing the dishes. There is no smell - the charcoal filter works perfectly. I have only had this for a couple of weeks and am unsure how long the filter will work before it needs replacement but I ordered those too (from an outside site) so I am prepared when it smells. It has a secure heavy wire handle that makes it convenient to carry to my composter in the garden. Only complaint is that it looks like a fire hydrant. I probably should have picked a different color but in my crazy house when someone says what do I do with the veggie scraps I just yell put it in the fire hydrant :) Works well!Customer Review: WOULDN'T BUY THIS ITEM AGAIN

I BOUGHT THIS COMPOSTER FOR $22.00 TO REPLACE MY OLD ONE THAT COST 3.99. THE OLD ONE DID NOT SEAL UP TIGHT AND I WANTED A COMPOSTER THAT WOULD SEAL TIGHT TO KEEP ODORS AND FRUIT FLIES OUT. I SHOULD HAVE JUST STUCK WITH THE OLD ONE. THE FIRST COMPOSTER ARRIVED WITH A LID THAT DID NOT FIT THE CONTAINER AND ROCKED. THIS LID COULD NOT KEEP ANY ODORS IN AND CAME WITH A WELCOME SIGN FOR INSECTS. I EXCHANGED IT FOR A NEW ONE, AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THAT THE SECOND ONES LID FIT WORSE THAN THE FIRST. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE THIS ITEM 2 STARS IS BECAUSE IT IS ATTRACTIVE AND LOOKS MUCH BETTER SITTING ON THE COUNTER THAN MY OLD COMPOSTER. IF YOU WANT ONE THAT IS AIR TIGHT, BEST KEEP LOOKING.Customer Review: Not so easy
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very excited to get and begin using my compost keeper. It looks great - the color is very bright and gets a lot of attention. It does not smell and since I live alone and do not cook every day, i can go a week without removing the compost. However, it's not that easy. The lid does not seal easily. It requires two hands to try to close and tighten the lid and it is also hard to take the lid off. It also attracts fruit flies and who likes those? I was pretty frustrated when I found the exact same compost keeper at a retail store for less than half the price.
It's almost easier to just keep your compost in a freezer bag in the fridge or freezer until ready to compost it.
Customer Review: Attractive and sturdy
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I try to do everything we can for the environment. He is really into composting, solar panels, the whole nine yards. We had an ugly plastic compost container under our kitchen sink that was impossible to keep clean, etc. I saw this one and bought it. It's attractive, goes well with our decor and so easy to clean! Has a sturdy stainless steel handle too, so it's easy to carry to and from your larger compost bin. Only downfall is the first one we bought, my husband dropped and it shattered in pieces. So that's the only downfall of it being ceramic. Otherwise it's great and if he breaks another, I will just buy another!Customer Review: Just what we needed

The ceramic compost crock is just what I was looking for. During the vegetable growing season this summer we accumulated quite a bit of waste. The crock made it so easy to keep and even in the heat the charcoal filter never let any odor escape into our kitchen. It held up to a week's worth of waste before we had to empty it into our compost bin. So glad I purchased it. The red crock looks great in our white kitchen which we accent with red and black appliances and accessories.
