It is super easy to rinse out after taking out the compost. I don’t use any bags, and I’ve just had to quickly rinse this before using it again. There are no crevices or areas that would be hard to clean if something got crusted on.
So far, it has contained the smell of the scraps just fine - though we empty it into the backyard at least once a week. As an added bonus, it looks sleek and doesn’t have the word “compost” on it like so many other products out there. We aren’t going to forget what it’s for, and it’s sleek and fits right in to our kitchen decor.

1) it is stainless steel so cleanup is a breeze
2) the filter does an incredible job of keeping smells in; I never smell any odor from it (I have never had fruit flies)
3) emptying the bin is simple as can be. Take off the top and dump into your compost pile/bin outside. I love that I don't have to deal with any bags.
Best practice is to empty this every day, but I leave it on the counter until it is full (takes 3-4 days with two people in our household). Even when it is full to the top, there is no smell.
The design is also sleek; easy to fit it into many decor styles.
However, based a couple of reviews that I'm reading now, I'm guessing that the main reason I'm pleased with this bin (apart from the fact that it performs its intended function perfectly well) is that I actually understand what a compost bin is and what composting involves. Here are some pointers, in case you are new to this:
1. A compost bin is basically just a pot with a lid on it. If you are going to order this thing and then find yourself shocked when you receive what is basically just a pot with a lid on it in the mail (despite the numerous images on this page that clearly show what is basically a pot with a lid on it), then please just go buy a pot and save yourself the trouble of posting a really stupid review on Amazon that blames the product for the fact that you didn't realize what a compost bin was.
2. Composting involves taking your food scraps that would *otherwise be trash* and keeping them in a bucket (or a pot with a lid on it) in your kitchen. For this reason, it will *get dirty*, just like the rest of the items in your kitchen that come in contact with food. You will often have to *wipe it down* to remove the residue of whatever you put in it, *just like everything else in your kitchen*. Don't let the term "compost bin" fool you into thinking that this product has the magical ability to self-clean. Remember that this is basically just a pot with a lid on it.
3. Here's the thing about food scraps: they break down over time. They even break down a bit over the course of a few days. Another word for this breakdown process is "rotting". THIS IS WHY WE COMPOST THEM. If you leave your compost sitting on your counter for a week at a time, *it will start to smell*. DO NOT BLAME THE BIN - get off your lazy rump and go empty the dang thing. Would you keep your trash for a week if it was full of rotting food? NO. Honestly, a bin that will hold a week's worth of scraps isn't a good thing. A compost bin is not a panacea for all compost-related unpleasantness. If you don't want your food scraps smelling on your countertop, but you also refuse to walk allllll the way to your compost bin more than once a week, then maybe composting isn't for you. Which is fine, just don't leave a three star review on Amazon once you figure that out.

Okay, done snarking. Here's what I like about this bin:
*It looks good on the countertop
*It has a carrying handle, unlike your average pot with a lid on it
*It is well-proportioned - tall enough to hold a good amount of stuff without having a huge footprint on the countertop, but not so tall that it tips over
*I've had little to no problem with fruit flies, presumably because I have been careful to only remove the lid when I am putting stuff in the bin
*It cleans easily
*It is durable and unbreakable
Basically, it does everything a compost bin should do, assuming you do not have ridiculous, uninformed, and mutually-incompatible expectations for how it will function.
Prior to this purchase, I used an old Xmas popcorn tin to hold my waste, and this worked perfectly even though the can was tin, and the lid was thin plastic. I detected odors only when I opened the lid to add more waste. Of course being tin, it rusted rapidly so I opted to purchase a bin designed for compost waste, and I found this one. But due to the odor situation, I decided to return this bin and look for a kitchen compost bin that did not have holes in the lid. After failing this, I replaced it with a 1.3 gal bathroom waste can with a plastic pail insert and a foot pedal with self-closing lid. I keep it on the counter and just press the pedal with a touch of my hand, and then drop in the waste. No odors at all. Problem solved.
Other than this odor issue, the bin looks very nice and is definitely high quality. I don't understand how some people would get fly larvae inside their bins. Do they keep their windows/doors open? Mystery to me.
