It's neat - not too big and not too small - and like most JJ stuff it's good quality and looks good on the worktop. Compared to our previous crock jar type waste caddy this is much easier to open and toss/scrape food waste into, and it (neatly) takes standard compostable food waste bags which we're lucky enough to get free from the council. The filter seems to work OK, but time will tell whether that and its good looks will last everyday usage.
