How is this any different from a regular bucket with a tight fitting lid?

Most, if not all buckets with 'tight fitting lids' require two hands to open. A Yukchuk has twin lid locks built into the handle mechanism that operate when opening the lid to deposit food waste, no separate handling before and after adding the food scraps. These locks are engaged at all times when the lid is closed. If you watch our little YouTube movies it would show the simplicity of a YukChuk operation and there's one we don't blow smoke.

It does come with hardware to affix the bucket to the inside of the cabinet door under my sink. it is also easy to open and close the lid with one hand which is convenient while cooking. I have very limited counter space, if not, I would probably have a regular bucket with a lid.

It has built-in hooks to secure a compost bag and a mounting bracket to install on the wall or a cupboard door. I find that the shape takes up less space than a round container, as I can push it flush to the backsplash. When used with a compostable bag, the bag sticking out creates a gasket seal that seems to keep out the fruit flies.

I love this thing. The shape is ideal for moving to the island for veggie chopping sessions. It also can be opened with one hand and closed with one hand so you can take a plate over to it and dump from the plate without setting the plate down. It also can be mounted on the inside of the cabinet door if you want to hide it. And it does fit in my dishwasher and is bottom shelf safe there. I originally bought it because of the fruit fly problem and it solves that too.

I've been using a YukChuk compost bucket for about 6 months. I've got mine wall-mounted on the included bracket, and when installed like that it's easy to open and close with one hand. I think most regular buckets with tight-fitting lids would require two hands to open and then to close. So, open with one hand, toss in the compost scraps, close with one hand. And this one is completely air tight, so no odors and no fruit flies. They've got a video on their web site that shows just how air tight it is!

Yes, I have two glorified buckets! The lid is built very cheaply. The expansion of the ice cream pushes the freezer-gel insert straight through the lid. I got one batch out of one and two out of the other. My freezer is only set to -2F. The small spoon shape on the lid also makes it difficult to turn to get the container open.

the seal on this tight. there is a rubber around the tight fitting lid that clamps down extra hard.

It has a lid that fits well. It will hold the heat in but steam will escape. So i guess that depends on what you mean by tight fitting?

Yes, the lid fits tight. Bread Bin seems to keep the bread fresh longer then most bins I have used in the past.

It is not a tight seal it has a pin that holds the lid on that allows you to be able to slide the lid all the way around.

Hello, The "bucket" is very easy to remove. The unit does a really good job...the capacity of the container is smaller than I would like it to be and you will have to empty daily...but it is a mioni-workhorse and has been totally reliable. I would buy again. Hope this helps

The lid fits pretty tight on the can, but it's not too hard to pull off either. I love this can!

It's a metal lid, closing over a plastic bag liner, laying over a hard plastic bucket rim. I would say it closes reasonably well but not perfectly. We use ours for kitchen wet waste. The only time we notice an odor is when we open it to add waste.

The basket fits in really just one way and then you flip the basket handle over to lock the basket into place. That should allow the lid to close properly Just fiddle with it...you'll get it

The lid is hollow and sealed across the inside bottom. The bucket is very thick and since it is so light it feels solid but must be double with no seam that I can see. Keeps my ice lasting longer. I usually use it on the screened sun porch since I have ice in the door of my fridge inside. I have never had issues with a water ring on my table.

Yes, the lid does not lock/snap/seal the bucket. It just sits on top of it.

the lid does not need to be tight. You don't want to have to wrestle the lid off. This is a great ash can. We couldn't be happier with it.

Yes, it is a standard lid that you would have on a normal 5 gallon bucket. It's made from the same material as the bucket.

It's most of the length of the blue plastic part that wraps around the bucket. If it's not keeping your stuff hot enough just wrap some blankets around it.

I think it's a regular 5 gal bucket but the seat fits very well. I used this camping with small garbage bags (not the ones they pair w this nor grocery store bags). The seat fit with a night tight seal. I love it!!

It has been a few years, since I had a commode for my wife. If I remember right, the lid and seat lift up, and bucket fits directly into support. If it is to difficult for you, might want to ask a neighbor for help.
