Ratings & Reviews for simplehuman Compost Bin with Magnetic Docking Caddy, 5 Liter Black Metal Indoor Kitchen Hinged Lid Trash Can

Compost Caddy Bag Problem

We are happy with the Compost Caddy; however, the additional bags we ordered and paid for are extremely difficult to unfold and insert into the Caddy without tearing them. I regret ordering them, and understand that other brands can be purchased that are much easier to work with and insert.

Compost Caddy

I love my new compost caddy but the compost bags are too small to fit over the plastic liner, and rip almost on contact. This combination makes it hard to place scraps in the caddy without the bag falling to the bottom or ripping. Larger bags would solve the problem.

Compost Caddy

I bought to replace our previous one whose lid snapped off. The compost container has been very helpful in recycling our food garbage.

Worth the extra cost

yes, there are cheaper options for compost caddy's but the attachment to hang this on the side of a Simple HUman trashcan is a nice feature. The oder control on these is great and the liner/bucket set up is easy to use.

Great, but difficult to find space for

Would love to put this on the door under my sink, but there’s no way to stick it on the door. It hangs, but the hook is only designed to use on the trash can- so it’s too small for use on kitchen cabinet doors.

Great Gift

I sent a SH trash can to my friend a few years ago! She got into juicing so I gifted her 2 composts and she was so thrilled to receive her gift. I also love mine! Great job and attention to detail!

Love the tub but the

Love the tub but the bags I got were too easily breakable

Compost

We love the Simplehuman compost bin. So sleek looking and easy to use. It just isn’t big enough for us. Would like it twice as big. The brochure it came with showed one but I couldn’t find it anywhere online.

Weak hinge

the hinge is very vulnerable to breaking, and is held to ring with cheap plastic that breaks off, this is a replacement, the vulnerable hinge should be made from metal!

So handy and goes perfectly

So handy and goes perfectly with my Simple Human trash and recycling bin!

A great Kitchen Addition

My only complaint would be its size, since for a family our size we can fill it up after a meal if we are using it properly, but having it right next to the kitchen trash makes it a million times easier to use. Highly recommend the z compostable bags as they can also be composted in your backyard compost if you have one!

Nice

Great that it attaches to the bigger trash can and is easily washable.

Handy Dandy

Perfect for keeping food scraps out of sight and smell.

This is so helpful and cute!!

I love this item. It makes it so simple to recycle compostable kitchen scraps and food waste. It conveniently hangs off our trash can. Now that the produce bags are biodegradable, I can use them too in this caddy. The lid did detach after 1-1/2 years, but was quickly replaced under Warenty! I highly reconnect recommend. Thank you.

Very nice

I don't like the bags that come with the caddy. They are terrible and leak. I lined the inside with aluminum foil to keep the bag from leaking onto the inside of the can. No gnats very tightly sealed

Love the actual product: bags not so much

The product is great! Just what I wanted and fits perfectly in my kitchen. Included was a package of fitted simple human branded compost bags. The bags (perhaps I got a bad/old batch) are worthless. They tear way too easily. I sourced an alternative bag and am happily composting away!

Perfect

I didn't realize what I was missing out on. It looks good on the countertop, which is a convenient place for a compost caddy. The bags fit securely, which makes it as less gross as can be. Very happy with the purchase.
