I've used Polder kitchen scales for years, so I expected this to be a well-designed product, and it is -- it's small enough to tuck into a corner of the kitchen counter by the sink, but large enough for a 2-person household that we don't have to empty it into the outdoor compost bin every day. And, given that we go a number of days without emptying the bin, the odor is surprisingly well controlled by the lid. The silicone "bucket" is easy to clean -- and it does require occasional cleaning (I was surprised at the reviewer who complained about mold, since if you leave composting material in/on the surface without ever washing it, mold is guaranteed -- you're composting, after all!). Overall, it really could not possibly be any easier to clean or to use.
My only complaint is that the unit I received was not perfectly round -- at some point, either in production or in shipping, the shape of the metal frame had been slightly compressed from a circle to an oval, so that the lid no longer fit. I wrangled it back into an almost-circle (which was challenging, as the frame is pretty solid), and the lid now fits, although probably not as perfectly as it would have without this issue. Because of this, I rated the unit just average for durability -- but I would still recommend it highly to others, based on how well it performs.

Brilliant design, easy to empty and to clean
UPDATE: I downgraded it to 3 stars because it just doesn't come clean no matter what we do. It is not pure silicone and it absorbs, holds and breeds the kind of life you don't want thriving in your kitchen. It is also the fave hang out for fruit flies as it doesn't seal. Dang.This is my favorite thing in my kitchen right now ~ the kind of thing I pull out and show to friends when they come over. Here's why - it's handsome, and with only a 3 point connection, I don't mind setting it on the kitchen counter when I'm chopping, and my fave feature of all is the ease of emptying it! All you do is pop it inside out, give it a quick rinse and you're good. And no compost bags! Oh, and the lid hangs politely on the edge while you're using it. :-)I used to have the kind with the pedal to open the lid and lined it with a compost bag. I always had to rinse it out anyway, Then had to let it dry before I put in a new bag. This silicone bin solves every problem elegantly. I LOVE IT!
