Which one should you buy?

The EKO 7L Stainless Compost Bin is our top pick: it seals smells, hangs on a cupboard door or sits on the bench, and the inner bucket lifts out for an easy rinse. The Blue Ginkgo 5L is the value pick thanks to thousands of happy reviews, a dishwasher-safe body and no filters to replace.
