This is a good product. I wish it were just a bit larger, though.


1 out of 5 stars too fragile!! :(   September 27, 2008

Like other reviewers have stated, it looks great. However, the first one arrived shattered and I thought it was an anomaly.
Unfortunately this wasn't the case. I found it to be completely impractical (too small) and the replacement shattered within 2 months. The ceramic just isn't made for real life. Too bad.

Like other reviewers, the handles slipped a lot and were hard to place back on the nub. A bigger problem was that this composter (we bought this one to replace a stainless one we had for a year and had to get rid of b/c my husband threw it, dented it, and then the lid didn't fit) attracted an absurd amount of fruitflies -- aprob we did not experience with the other, I think b/c the ceramic pot does not have a very good lid fit. No matter how often we changed the filter, fruitflies took over...in a matter of days. Depending on the day/menu, the pot would sit for a day or two under the sink or on the counter (it is pretty enough to leave out) and this became a problem. Easy fix: take it our more often, I know, but life gets in the way sometimes. The composter had a hairline crack going from the bottom to the top after the first month and shattered the second month when I was cleaning it. It now resides in the bottom of some of my potted plants. I need to buy a new one and might go for the ugly green one instead.


3 out of 5 stars works okay but needs a different handle   September 19, 2008

The metal handle slides off the ceramic knobs too easily to be functional. A sturdy side handle would make one-handed operation much easier. Looks nice and keeps odors down, but does nothing to stop the fruit flies - they're swarming inside and out.

Product looks good, no odor, works well, great to use with biodegradable bags.My house continues to become more and more green, especially with this product.I can put everything from pinched off leaves from house plants to coffee grounds to hair from the hair brush to bread crusts to...anything that is biodegradable! Make sure you purchase corn-based bags to line the crock-Excellant product.
