The handle is not secure. I was emptying the bin onto the compost heap. Although I had firm hold of the handle, the ceramic crock fell out and smashed.
Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. I'm sorry to hear of the problem you'd had, I'll be sure to pass your comments to the buying team about the design.
Of those compost crocs in the shop most had a lid which did not fit properly, it appeared to not be truly circular and there was a gap on one side when the lid was on. The whole idea of using the filter is to stop any unpleasant smells that may arise, I thought a gap would allow smells to escape and perhaps those small fruit flies to get in. I think that those with ill-fitting lids should have been rejected and not put on sale. The reason I am writing this is to warn future customers to look at the product before leaving the shop. 5 stars for my old croc and only 3 for my new one.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for the helpful advice you've provided for other customers.
Delighted with this crock. Had to replace the lid (husband's fault) but fortunately Lakeland sell replacements. Handle can be taken off easily, but once you are aware of this it's quite safe. I put my pot and lid in the dishwasher regularly (minus the handle) and have had no problems with crazing or cracking after many years. It looks good on the kitchen windowsill and doesn't smell when the lid is on. I do use the filters though.
I liked this compost crock, a lot...it looks smart on the worktop and no nasty smells at all. However, like many other customers on here, my pot's handle slipped out of it's casing and the pot smashed into our enamel sink as I was turning it upside down to wash out. This slipping has happened many times before, as it happens unpredictably and I have saved it...not so this time. Not sure I will pay £24.99 for a similar thing to happen as it seems a design fault that many people have encountered with this product. Shame as it's good in every other way.
Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. I'll be sure to pass your comments on about the handle and will be in touch soon.
Have had my compost crock for many years. Looks good and serves the purpose, the only downside is that the handle can come off without any warning unfortunately this happened to me whilst emptying the bin into the composter consequently the crock broke. I now need to buy a new one but might wait to see if Lakeland can improve the fit of the handle before purchasing a new one.
Thanks for taking the time to write your review. I'll be sure to pass your comments to the buying team about the design of the handle.
