Which one should you buy?

The OXO Good Grips Easy Clean Compost Bin is our best overall choice: 4.7 stars from 17,525 Amazon AU ratings, smooth interior walls and a removable lid that makes emptying simple. Its listing does not mention a filter or an odour seal, so the Blue Ginkgo 5L, whose listing names a tight sealing lid and no need for charcoal filters, suits you better if smell is the main worry. The Joseph Joseph Compo 4 is the budget pick, with an adjustable air vent and a door mounting bracket included.
