MinkyCompost ECO Food Caddy, Grey

The Compost ECO Food Caddy is a simple but essential addition to our kitchen. It’s the perfect size for collecting food waste, and having it on the counter makes composting so much easier. We line it with biodegradable food bags, which helps keep everything clean and makes emptying it hassle-free.The design is sturdy and well-made, with a secure lid that helps keep odors contained. It’s also easy to rinse out and keep fresh, which is a big plus when dealing with food scraps. Whether it’s vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, or leftovers, this caddy helps reduce waste and makes composting a seamless part of our routine.It blends in nicely with the kitchen, doesn’t take up too much space, and makes a real difference in cutting down household waste. A well-designed, practical solution for keeping food scraps under control.

I have just moved and my new kitchen has no room for a freestanding bin but it does have a soppy little bit of worktop between the sink and a cupboard. So I thought I would try one of these. I was pleasantly surprised at just how neat and tidy it looked. Also it holds enough that I don't need to empty it every five minutes. I ordered another 2 in different colours so now I can easily separate food waste, recycling and general rubbish. It works perfectly for me though I should point out that I live on my own.

It is way smaller than I envisioned! However, it suits me just fine and fits on the kitchen window ledge nicely. I feel like the little plastic that helps to secure the bag in place is not as sturdy and snug fit as I would like. It feels like it just sit there rather than fitting in properly. The lid just falls onto the bin, but it gives a good enough seal so no problem. However, I have a feeling that, if you accidentally knocked the bin over, the lid will open up easily and perhaps the plastic fitting for the bag might even come loose. So, be careful.

This bin is excellent. The size is perfect, the lid goes down easily.Good value and blends in with other kitchen accessories. We do not over fill the bin and therefore no smell. All round good product.

Perfect size, quick deliveryDoes the job

On the whole it is ok. But the sealing mechanism is flawed. The lid has a ridge that should engage with the caddy so it ‘clicks’ shut sealing in any odours. however it doesn’t engage properly and pops open immediately. This looks like a design floor with regard to the flexibility of the material used rather than a one-off fault.

Attractive enough for a kitchen counter and easy to clean
