Smartbin Air - Compost Bin - Easy Indoor Home Composter, 20L Set of 2, for 1 to 4 Member households (Watch Video Demo Now)

I bought the Smartbin Air as i was looking for options to buy compost and organic fertilizer for my garden. There was a local nursery providing regular animal manure compost but that was not enough i think, so i started searching for methods to make compost at home and hence i came accross this product.I am highly impressed by the design and quality of compost it has produced for me. To clear your doubts let me give you my results pointwise:-1. The bucket size is good and produces a large amount compost when filled.2. Setup is easy to be done and all the materials used in making the bin are of good quality durable plastic.3. Once setup there is no smell, i have placed it in my kitchen in the space below the sink.4. All the peels, food waste can be used in the compost, only avoid liquids and spicy foods as they are harmful to soil.5. I have a small family(2+baby) and we are frequently not at home so it took 1.5 month to fill, for a bigger family it will faster.6. Once the bin is full put it to pickle in shade(but not in dark) for 2 weeks.The compost produced was highly decomposed and dark in color and once put to use in plants i got good results.The cosmos,mariegold,rose plants showed improved leaf growth. Bottle gourd vine began flowering after use.I highly recommend using this product.

I have come back to review this product after using it for almost 2 years now. Its been a an extremely simple solution to take care of all organic waste. The rate of decomposition fluctuates with the weather (fast in summers and slow in winters) but overall yield is clean and neutral smelling compost. The only drawback is flimsy mesh on the lid which didn't stand against monkeys looking for food in our balcony. Would highly recommended to single or two people household looking for convenient composting method.

(27|1|2018)Received it yesterday. Every thing is exactly same as stated. YouTube video made it super simple to assemble. Have started the first batch. will update when ready.(31/1/18)Bin filled to full yesterday.. absolutely no smell, no bugs, no flies.(8/2/18) second bin filled and hence the D-Day. I opened the old bucket and found that the content had reduced 3 inches. There was a little smell but it was ok.This had pickled for almost 8-9 days.I used the gloves to shuffle the content a little. Gloves were really of great quality.Transfering the material into curing bag was easy. I tied the bag and kept it in shade on roof. Let's see the outcome.There was a bit odour at bottom but it was fine. Bottom content which had actually stayed for 15 days in bucket, was almost 80% decomposed.I found atleast 100 ml of smart brew at the bottom.P.S.- I use one packet of bio bloom for one bucket. There is always some left at the end of that particular bucket. So i used this bio bloom to make potting mixture as actually this is cocopeat.I planted coriander seeds in that.I had read that it will take 2 to 3 weeks for them to germinate in normal soil.But in this potting mixture, they germinated in 4 days, that great!May be because they got good airy and nutritious soil.Now I will use smart brew on them.

Plus: I like the idea of having a tap, because of that the composting area looks clean. Having a place fro camphor is also coolMinus: The suggestion was that sprinkling the microbial mix over the kitchen waste is enough for fast composting. However, in my hands, it did not work well. The kitchen waste usually leaves a lot of moisture ( water) upon decomposition so unit one adds some dry material ( like leaves, paper etc) the rate of decomposition is extremely slow. Also, one bin fills very fast ( within 1-2 week) in a family of 3.

The youtube video made it easy to get started - all instruction were clear and everything I needed was sent. The CEO Mitra? even called me after I had received the order. I started the next day. It is too early to say how will all end up hopefully in a bag of manure but these these are my first impressions.My garbage consists of mainly vegetable skins and some fruit skins. One thing I noticed that the 20L bucket got filled in about one week. I am a family of 1 but admitted I consume mostly vegetables and fruits (and nuts). I might use those curing bags or buy a new set of 3 buckets because I don't like the messiness of transferring into bag - that I will see.I am lucky as I live in a house and so far I had been throwing away my plant waste in a new hole in a yard (inside our home boundary) at the back of kitchen we dig up every few month. I don't know whether they efficiently convert into manure or I have to do something else like adding sawdust powder to force that. I will be researching this issue further.

The product is good so far- have been using it for a week now- no foul smell or anything. The only issue I have is the lid- which if you close snugly, is pretty difficult to open again and is quite a struggle. the price on the other hand is also something that should be lowered

I brought this in 2021 and tried many other compost bins as well, but I just loved smart bin air and also the service from Greentech.I’ve bought 4 bins and I still need 2 bins. But unfortunately it is out of stock.We are a family of 9 and 1 bin will get filled in 8-10 days.I am proud, we are not creating burden to BBMP and not contributing to landfills.Thank you GreenTech.

Have returned the product twice. Each time they sent defective taps. The taps were too large for the hole in the bucket both times. Defective product
