Great shape. Easy to store. Although it has a vent, that can be closed, after using it for a few weeks I think it would be better and more pleasant to use if it had a filter like my previous JJ food caddy did. This one beats it on shape but not on odour. I usually keep it with filter closed in cupboard but it still can cause unpleasant odour. Maybe from times it is opened. Overall I prefer it due to its shape. But why loose the innovative filter option. The filter replacements weren’t that expensive & lasted some time.
