Bad points

Bad Points

  • Medium round footprint may encroach on benchtop workspace.
  • Wire-like handle only OK to hold.
  • Lid not hinged.
  • Emptying contents is only OK. Need to remove plastic insert – nothing to grip to pull out. Need some finger strength when it's full.
  • Some crevices to accumulate dirt – around rolled metal rim, lid and inside metal base.
  • Painted metal exterior may rust over time – particularly if paint chips off.
  • Hand wash only.
  • Filter holds onto smells and needs to be washed. May still smell after handwashing.
  • Ongoing filter replacement cost.
