Good trash bin
Basically a fancy trash bin with compostable bags. It does keep odors in but doesn’t actually compost. The replacement bags are a bit pricey and the soft close lid doesn’t work. It slams shut.

Super nice
Absolutely love this! Easy to assemble and so easy to use!
Customer review from Compost Genie
A terrible design.
A more poorly-designed product you will not find. As the lid with the handles does not come off, your full bag must be dragged through the much smaller aperture, ripping the bag and spilling the contents inside - and out the bottom.

Good idea, but doesn’t work
We used a service for our composting but it was expensive and the bin they provided was just a paint bucket, so it was a pain to get the cover off. We purchased the Compost Genie because it is larger and has a foot pedal to open the lid. We knew we would have to take the bags to the city composting drop off but we’re OK with that. However… the lid keeps getting stuck in the closed position. We have to pick up the entire unit and rattle it around and shake the lid and wiggle the pedal until, eventually, the lid comes unstuck. It happens about every other day now. It’s enough to turn us off of composting until someone can develop a good solution for city dwellers.

Elegant addition to our kitchen for compost waste disposal
We have been searching for a functional yet elegant solution to our compost waste disposal issue and we have found it in the Compost Genie. The White color looks gorgeous. The product is very simple to put together and use. There is no smell at all, and we have been filling this up to the top twice a week. The compostable bags are very strong. The feature that the next bag to use pulls up automatically when you are ready to dispose the current bag is very smart.

A very sleek and welcome addition to our kitchen!
Our family is a heavy consumer of organic produce and we consequently have an immense amount of compost waste to dispose every week. This great looking solution has made it very easy for us to simplify this chore. The product delivers to all stated features! The compostable bags are very strong and because they seem to have some sort of protection against leakage, there is no post-disposal cleaning left to do. We love it!

Customer review from Compost Genie
Great product but too large
I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have only ever used small compost bins that can be kept hidden under the counter so this was a big change. The bin design has a very sleek and modern which I appreciated since it is on display all the time. The stand out feature for me was the easy bag tear off mechanism, I wish more garbage bins would have this! It was also very well made. No issues with daily use. That being said, the Genie isn't something I would purchase or continue using because it is too big. I don't like having compost sitting for multiple weeks and it has been a waste of a bag to empty each week. We also have our garbage can out so it makes for too many floor items in the kitchen. If there was a half garbage half compost bin style, I would be very interested in that!

Genie compost bin
Please note I have reviewed and submitted this already After receiving the genie compost bin through the stellar product testing panel here is my review. We have loved this compost, in particular the size and lack of smell! We filled up our old bin so fast and was messy to discard contents. The foot pedal was great! So much less mess and good ease of use. We have not smelled any odor since we received, which is impressive alas we make a lot of compost! The bag was easy to replace, took a few times to figure out how much we could fill it up, but figured that out quickly
