Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 1 Gallon Stainless Steel Compost Keeper
Customer Review: just what I wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
I did my homework and read the reviews on this one and the ceramic one and decided from the reviews to purchase the stainless steel crock because the ceramic one breaks easily if you bump it and I am good at bumping things. I am not disappointed. I like the size. I don't have to dump it very often and it cleans up very nicely. Just use dishsoap and water. I had read that someone did not like it because of fruit flies. I have not had any problem with this at all. The filter works great. No smell at all. I don't think that anyone would be disappointed with it. It is very well made.Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this stainless (?) can two months ago and I went to empty into my composer and noticed black stains on the shelf. I took the plastic bag out and filled the pail up with water and placed it on a sheet of paper and
noticed the paper getting wet, I took a rag and washed the outside and noticed black corrosion marks. I filled the pail and the water was running out. I used plastic bags in every filling but some of the waste leaked out
but noway in just sixty days should the stainless (?) rust out. Made in China so this is just a chunk of tin sold as steel.
Customer Review: Sturdy & dirty
Summary: 4 Stars
This compost keeper is very sturdy. It holds enough vegetable scraps to be useful. However, you really need to line the container with a plastic bag and remove the garbage before any mold forms. Even with the plastic bag, you need to carefully wash and treat the can with a disinfectant. The filters are effective in reducing odors from the container, but they can become moldy as well if you don't happen to open the lid and notice the mold when it first starts to grow. That is, this keeper is not a composter. You need to move the garbage to your composter fairly frequently.Customer Review: Love my new Norpro Stainless Steel Composter Keeper!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my new composter keeper a few weeks ago -- I LOVE it! We were using an old cookie jar with a lid, which was nasty to clean and difficult to dump. The new pail is fabulous...very easy to clean & a great size -- I only have to dump it once every four days (and we are a family of 5 eating lots of fruits & veggies), yet it is still small enough to sit on my counter and blends in with all my stainless steel appliances. The handle makes it so easy to carry/dump and even after four days with garlic and onion peels there is no odor. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Excellent Kitchen Composter
Summary: 5 Stars
This composter is an excellent kitchen countertop composter. The filter seems to control all odors. I line mine with small kitchen plastic garbage bags. I noticed that the filter is the same carbon material that is readily available at local home/hardware stores that is used with air purifiers. I buy the carbon filter material in a roll and cut it to fit this pail. I am a beginning composter and found the size perfect for my small kitchen, but big enough to hold several days worth of kitchen waste before making the trip to the compost pile.
