BrabantiaBo Touch Bin - 36L Inner Bucket (Soft Beige) - Waste Kitchen Bin - Soft-touch

Great bin and perfect size for rubbish and recycling, very stylish and looks goodGood functionality and quite robust

I purchased this bin 2 years ago for my first home with a small kitchen. I chose this bin due to the size, but also how due to how stunning it is for a bin. Lots of guests are surprised this is actually a bin as it blends so well into my decor. The lid is great, keeps smells hidden, really easy to use. The bin bags surprisingly aren’t too difficult or expensive to obtain. I haven’t been able to find them in store, but many standard online retailers have them such as grocery stores and Amazon.

I love this bin! It looks great. The two sections have removable bins so you can keep the bin really clean and take the recycling easily to the outside bin. I use the smaller section for food waste and the larger for recycling. It has a ten year warranty and came with a few bags for both sections. As expected, excellent quality. You get what you pay for. My last bin was a Curver pedal bin, which cost £40 and the pedal mechanism smashed the bottom of the bin within a year so leakages were going into the mechanism with no way of cleaning it out. This new bin is a luxury but I've justified the expense because of the quality and warranty. We are a family of four and I am not finding it too small. I have found that I am recycling more, being more limited on the space in the food waste section. Yes, I am emptying it more often but I see this as a good thing for cleanliness and hygiene.

I did worry about paying this much for a bin, but most unexpectedly, it's worth it. The bin is so easy to empty, being more vertical than horizontal, that I do wonder why the horizontal design has lasted without being challenged for so long.It is so incredibly easy to empty a full bin and put a new bag in it that I only wish more of life's struggles were so easily resolved.It also seals in smells, when closed, and has so far proven dog-proof - which is the main reason I was willing to pay so much. My dogs have yet to knock this one over and spread the contents all over the kitchen floor.I wasn't going to go to the extra expense and trouble of buying the purposely-made bags, but when I saw how well the bags that came with the bin fitted... I now buy them off Amazon.My only worry is that the catch that keeps the bin closed looks as cheap as those on all the other cheap bins I've been through, and so I worry it will stop working at some point. And this is not a cheap bin to lose.

Just received my trash bin and have taken it out of box and assembled. Based on my initial reactions:Color: 4/5Slight off white color. I read this from other reviews but proceeded to buy anyways. In my picture, you’ll notice the slight shadow difference in whiteness between the bin and my white counter. But this doesn’t really bother me (although might to some).Appearance and build: 5/5When I first saw it, I thought the legs were silly looking. But now I like them! I didn’t need a big bin, but I didn’t want a small bin where I had to bend down to use and I wanted an easy to open/close mechanism. I also was looking for a combined waste and recycler option. This bin checked all my requirements. The legs are great for giving height and I don’t have to lift or move to sweep under. Also they’re equipped with adjustable rubber bottoms so the bin is leveled and doesn’t scratch floor.Easy to use and clean: 4/5You can’t take out or replace liners without removing the top which is a slight peeve. Fingerprints are also noticeable on the white coat (but not lid which is nice). The liners they suggest fit perfectly and snug so that was great too. The lid also works great and is fairly secure as long as you don’t move the bin.Durability: 4/5I could foresee the bin being dented if it toppled over. Seeing how expensive it was - that’s not refreshing to know. However the plastic on interior and legs seem strong and well made.

Great quality and looks stylish

Wanted a bin that we could proudly have on display and it not be an eyesore. This is spot on - blends in so well with the kitchen, just looks like a piece of furniture. Really easy to assemble and operate.Only thing is - the Brabantia 36L (R size) liners are expensive for what they are. We picked up some generic 50L ones in the supermarket to see if they'll do the trick, if not, we'll have no choice but to spend ~£15 on a pack of liners.

Expensive bin, but has a 10 year warranty. Lid now won't close after two years. Attempted to exercise my warranty to be told the item is not in stock and to be emailed when in stock. When you follow the hyperlink it adds the part to your basket and asks you to pay.
