Worktop Compost Bin Slate Grey 3.5L 5 "Smart worktop bin" 14 July 2018 Very pleased with the product which I bought to replace the white crockery bin I've had for ages but the lid got broken. The new Compost Bin feels more robust being made of metal so it shouldn't easily break and the lid is tight fitting which is a bonus. Large capacity and smart in appearance and easy to keep clean. Overall a very good buy.
Worktop Compost Bin Slate Grey 3.5L 3 "Lovely product but sadly very poor quality control" Mrs Wright 27 April 2018 Bought for my new kitchen to replace my well used 10 year old Lakeland cream one which was similar. Unfortunately these are now smaller than they were which annoyingly means more frequent emptying- not sure why? A lovely item but had to buy 4 and return 3 before getting one which wasn't either dented or chipped or both! All the ones in the shop were damaged and apparently had to be sold before new ones arrived so I did an online order and managed to get a decent one out of 4! Not Lakeland's usual standards sadly but very pleased I was persistent! Looks good in my kitchen now.
Worktop Compost Bin Slate Grey 3.5L 2 "Nice design, but fails under tough testing" Mr Clark 09 August 2018 Looking for an alternative to the cheap plastic caddies (the lids always warp, letting smells out and flies in) this looked promising. It's solid, not plastic, easy to clean and the lid fits quite tightly. In many situations, I'm sure that would be fine, but it isn't coping with Summer 2018. The carbon filter doesn't completely block smells (certainly no better than the old plastic caddy). As a result of that, flies are getting into the holes in the lid and laying eggs on the filter. It's now doubling as a handy blowfly breeding facility... possibly an unintended consequence! A note from the team Thank you for placing your review. I'm afraid the holes in the lid are necessary for air circulation to ensure effective decomposition. In the intense heat we've had recently the caddy will need to be emptied more often than usual. It sounds like it's time to change the filter also - replacement filters, reference 24238 will be available again next week. I'll be in touch to help - Jacqueline
