Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 1 Gallon Stainless Steel Compost Keeper
Customer Review: Practical Compost Keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't carefully look at the dimensions before buying this product, and so was surprised at its size when I pulled it out of the box. It was larger than I expected. It's small enough to sit on the counter, but you wouldn't want it any bigger. The lid fits nicely and we have had no oder from the compost scraps. Also, it rises clean very easily after dumping into our outdoor compost pail. With stainless steel, the fingerprints show up on the outside of the pail, so I have to wipe it down from time to time, which is expected.Customer Review: I add water in my compost keeper.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was excited about getting a compost keeper with a lid. It's actually a little too bit for my household situation (two adults, we rarely get a chance to cook at home). It does not smell (until you open the lid) which is nice. I did start adding a little bit of water at the bottom that way I don't have to wash it as often. This helps with dumping it in our compost pile too and waters the pile. It feels sturdier than the picture on the web site. I was hoping it would come with recommended instructions but it doesn't.Customer Review: great countertop composter
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at several different countertop composters before purchasing this one. I wanted something I could put coffee grinds, veggie and fruit peelings, etc. into before transporting to my outside composter; however, I wanted something that looked great as well. This composter fits the bill. It is well made and has a great, clean-looking stainless finish. The charcoal filter in the lid keeps the contents from getting smelly in between trips to my outside composter. Well worth the cost. I am very pleased.Customer Review: Just what I needed...
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is well build, and things actually fit together quite nicely. Some cheaper unit requires you to push or pull the top to get a tight seal. It is attractive looking, and the stainless steel material also means that you don't have to worry about dropping it (except the mess) and you can also take a soft steel wool and scrape the hell out of if you need to.
P.S I have yet to try this myself, but I know there are special corn-based lining for compost piles - this may make clean up easier.
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This compost keeper is very durable. I actually bought it after reading reviews on other canisters that people weren't as happy with. This one has held up nicely. There is absolutely no smell. It holds more than I would have thought - at least a week's worth of stuff (and we cook a lot). It looks great on the counter, with the small exception that stainless steel does show fingerprints and smudges, but this canister is easy to clean. I think it was well worth the the increased cost over inferior models.
