It's a green plastic storage bin with holes drilled in it on the sides for air circulation. It will handle far more kitchen scraps than I generate, probably enough for 2-3 people. I don't smell it unless I take the lid off, and that lid keeps the cat out. I think if there were anything really interesting to smell my cat would be on it, but he's not.
You're best bet is to get a copy of Worms Eat My Garbage and follow those ideas. A couple of the gardening stores around town like Portland Nursery can help you out and sell worms, too.
Worm towers are awesome! For something simpler and for next to no money you can just make worm bins out of rubbermaid containers. You'll have to drill holes and cover them with mesh for air flow, but they are simple and you can put them anywhere (under the bed, in the spare room, mine is in the pantry).
On a side note, if you don't already have worms to start a new bin, you can usually find a master gardener in your area (or try your extension office) who will give you a handful of worms to start! They multiply pretty fast as long as you keep them happy.
Also, here's a great all-inclusive resource for getting started with vermicomposting: http://www.amazon.com/Worms-Eat-My-Garbage-Composting/dp/0997261404/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458304920&sr=8-2&keywords=worms+eat+my+garbage In case that incredibly long link doesn't work, it's called "Worms Eat my Garbage" - only about 100 pages, lots of descriptions and references, and a solid starter resource.
Happy composting!
