This is a real gem, sits on my counter, and everyone who has seen it, likes it.  It is like a magnet, people have this attraction to it and have to open and look in lol.  At least it does not smell, and I have had it on my counter for days with veggie trimming/egg shells/coffee grinds in it and NO SMELLS, it has a nice filter in the top of the lid.  It washes clean after emptying.  Good construction of the can too, sturdy, handle works very well.  Happy camper here with it.
