The OXO Good Grips Easy-Clean Compost Bin is a fantastic option for busy households that generate more food waste. With a generous 1.75-gallon capacity and OXO's signature thoughtful design, this bin makes composting effortless for families who cook frequently.
Key Features: This compost bin holds 1.75 gallons (6.62 liters) of food scraps, significantly more than standard countertop models. It features a unique oval shape that fits neatly on countertops, measuring 8.3 x 10.15 x 12 inches. The charcoal color blends well with most kitchen aesthetics, and the smooth interior makes cleaning remarkably easy.
Smart Design Details: What sets this kitchen compost bin apart is OXO's attention to everyday usability. The bin includes a stay-open lid that makes it easy to toss scraps in while you're cooking or prepping meals. When you want to close it, the soft-close lid prevents loud bangs and keeps odors contained. The lid is also fully removable for convenient emptying and washing.
Odor Control: Unlike stainless steel models that rely solely on carbon filters, the OXO bin uses a unique design that allows oxygen to flow through the soft-close lid. This natural ventilation reduces moisture buildup and minimizes odors effectively. The bin is designed to be pest-resistant and keeps smells contained when closed.
Ease of Cleaning: True to its name, this is one of the easiest countertop compost bins to clean. The smooth interior has no cracks or crevices where food can get trapped. Simply rinse with warm soapy water, and it's ready to use again. The bin is also dishwasher safe for thorough sanitization.
Pros: Larger 1.75-gallon capacity, stay-open lid for one-handed use, soft-close mechanism, easy to clean smooth interior, dishwasher safe, excellent build quality from trusted OXO brand.
Cons: Plastic construction (not stainless steel), charcoal filters not included, slightly larger footprint on counter.
Best For: Families of 3-5 people who need more capacity and prefer the functionality of a stay-open lid. The OXO bin is particularly great for avid home cooks who are constantly adding scraps throughout the day.
