Here in California, we have a Can O Worms. It works unbelievably well! It's easy to maintain and very, very effective at turning lots of table scraps into soil. It is not recommended for meat scraps or dairy, but great with fruit and veggie scraps and small quantities of paper like newspaper, coffee filters, and teabags.
Waikiki Worm has these cans available, and the worms, but if you already know someone with worms, you can mooch some of those for free! http://www.waikikiworm.com/5wwcanow.html
I have no direct experience with any other worm bin, but I have seen other bin styles fail. This thing keeps going; we've had it for 6-7 years and never had to add new worms. We started with free worms from someone else and we've now started several other colonies from our colony.
