4L Compost Caddy

We bought this alongside the matching 58L Simplehuman recycling bin, and together they make an excellent waste disposal system. The caddy spends most of its time attached to the bin, gets moved over to the food preparation area while cooking, then gets emptied into the main food waste compartment every couple of days. The removable inner bucket makes it easy to clean, the lid does a good job of keeping smells in, and it's solid enough that it doesn't feel like another bit of flimsy kitchen plastic. It's undeniably expensive for a compost caddy, but the build quality is excellent and it matches the larger bin perfectly. Sometimes it's nice when everyday objects are simply well designed. Recommended, particularly if you're already buying the matching bin.

This was to replace our previous one that my son broke. Although the lid hinge is flimsy, I'm not going to blame SimpleHuman because he should have taken the top off before taking it out to the compost, and should have been looking where he was going when he tripped over. What I like about this is that it is fairly unobtrusive on the windowsill behind the sink. I would have preferred the white one like last time (to be even less obtrusive) but this was almost 50% off and it's a very expensive but of kit. The shape is great because it holds a lot without taking up much space, unlike the bucket shaped ones. It's also so easy to flick open, and you don't have to remove the lid and put it somewhere just to use. Important when we only have 2 hands. Being flat edged, it is also much more convenient for putting under the edge of a counter to sweep peelings in. Not so easy with a round one. Expensive but worth it.

Stylish and well made as well as functional

Well made kitchen compost bin. It’s a nice size and smart looking. No carbon filter for smells but the lid is robust and closes well. It’s pricy but the construction is neat and hopefully it should last. Luckily I bought mine discounted.

Excellent quality

I love this food caddy/bin It looks good, is such good quality and as i have a simply human regular bin it just slots onto the side and makes a compact unit. Really easy to keep clean too … no nooks and crannies collecting grime and germs

Love this item fits perfectly on my worktop and looks good -HOWEVER-I’m sending it back as lid does not close correctly and I’m worried my cat will start getting interested!! I’ve ordered another so hopefully the replacement will be up to standard.

Looks great, works great—until that flimsy *ss hinge gives up the ghost.

simplehumanのダストボックスは3代目でずっと愛用しています。現在、生ゴミ用は15Lですが、毎日ゴミ出しする捨てるわけではないので、生ゴミをそのまま捨てるとどうしても悪臭になってしまいます。そのため、一旦生ゴミを毎回スーパーにあるような薄いビニール入れて、それからゴミ箱に捨てていました。面倒だな〜と思っていたところ、シンプルヒューマンにこの「コンポストキャディ４L」という商品を見つけ購入しました。すごい！今までなら半日で臭くなる生ゴミが2日経っても匂いません。バナナの皮やフルーツの皮は臭わないけど、さすがに刺身のツマやキッチンシンクのゴミ受けに溜まったゴミは臭うだろうと思っていたら、抱え込んで嗅がないと臭いを感じません。本当に楽になりました。その上、大きなダストボックスの側面に取り付けることができます。２０２４年、買って一番良かった品です。

Complementa muy bien con otros productos de la marca Simplehuman pues viene con un adaptador para “colgarlo” a un costado de otros botes de basura grandes/dobles de la marca. Tiene precio un poco elevado para un bote de basura pero lo compensan su gran calidad y diseño. Por lo que hace a la durabilidad, los productos de esta marca son muy resistentes y se mantienen funcionales por más de 10 años, con un cuidado o mantenimiento mínimo-nulo. Lo mejor es que tiene un tamaño ideal para una o dos personas (4L), así ya sólo tienes que cambiar la bolsa 1 vez a la semana. Usa bolsas compostables Código Z de Simplehuman (viene 30 bolsas de regalo) pero puedes utilizar de marca genérica de 45x45cm y le quedan bastante bien.

S'adapte facilement sur les poubelles compatibles. Fabrication robuste.

We love it. It's compact enough to sit on the counter. The stainless steel matches our appliances, so it looks nice. Easy clean up. Plus, the lid has a tab that makes it easy to use with one hand. Great product.

I’m a super fan of pretty much everything Simplehuman does, and this compost container is no exception. It’s efficient, it’s sleek, and it looks great on my counter. Perhaps most importantly, it’s got a deceptively large capacity, but doesn’t take up a huge amount of space. The only thing I’d note is to *not* buy/use the Simplehuman compost bags; they’re incredibly flimsy and rip apart way too easily, and they don’t tie well either. It’s an odd critique for Simplehuman because their garbage bags are SO strong and convenient, but it’s a small quibble. The bin itself still gets five stars, just use it with any other compost bag of your choice. :)
