Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 1 Gallon Ceramic Compost Keeper, Red
Customer Review: composter so-so
Summary: 3 Stars
I love the way this composter looks on my counter, however the seal wouldn't stay on the rim, so my husband used caulk to keep it in place. Still doesn't keep th smell in. Wouldn't buy it again.Customer Review: gnats
Summary: 3 Stars
Be careful of the kind of fruit you put in the container. I got a terrible case of gnats that were hard to get rid of.Customer Review: WOULDN'T BUY THIS ITEM AGAIN
Summary: 2 Stars
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: needs to be more durable
Summary: 2 Stars
It looks nice and keeps my kitchen from smelling with the compostable waste in it. However, it is very delicate and the lid has already cracked from being dropped about 6 inches onto a laminate counter top. For something I use every day while doing dishes (and thus have wet slippery hands) I would like something a little more durable. If you aren't as accident prone though it would probably work fine for you.
