Product Insights
The Simons Maison Enamelled Metal Compost Bin holds about 5 liters, enough for a few days of scraps for two, and fits under standard cabinets at 18 cm wide and 20.5 cm tall. Its carbon filter absorbs kitchen odors from the non-airtight lid, while the side-mounted handle allows one-handed carry and tipping. The filter lasts 2–3 months with dry use and removes for easy washing, but the metal handle attachments must be dried after cleaning to prevent rust. At $30 CAD, it is half the price of comparable models, offering non-porous, scratch-resistant enameled metal construction and an exclusive design.

Counter buddy
So glad I bought this! Looks cute on the counter!
Perfect size but doesn’t last
I bought this because of the convenient size, nice appearance, and the filter built into the lid. Unfortunately it only lasted for a few years until the enamel on the inside blistered and rusted. I’ll turn it into a planter for outside. The only reason I bought it again was because I couldn’t find anything similar and I could cash in some of my AirMiles points.
Belle apparence
Très pratique, et sans odeur avec les filtres appropriés.
5 étoiles
Bonne dimension, facile à ranger beau design (forme, couleur). Très bon objet

Quality product.
I have bought three of these compost bins. The enamelled finish is good quality, has a carbon deodoriser and is attractive. I buy these to gift to people that are using ugly plastic Chinese made pails in ugly colours or are using cracked ice cream pails.

Just what I needed and just as advertised. I thought it might be a bit smaller than it is, but it's perfectly fine. Works great and looks cute too.

La poubelle est très jolie il serait important d offrir des filtres de remplacement
Looks Nice Works Beautifully
This is a great compost. It looks great on a countertop and with the carbon filter keeps the smell of composting food completely at bay. The lid lifts off easily and the handle comes in handy for carrying. Highly recommend this product.
