    Practical, sturdy, discreet bin with lots of storage capacity. A big improvement on our previous system using two separate bins, saving valuable kitchen space. Not cheap but worth it.

    This bin is ideal for a household of 2 people. We use it for general rubbish at the top and food waste at the bottom. It means that we don’t need a separate food caddy. Each bin has an insert which can be removed for cleaning and changing the bag. We don’t really use the small food waste insert, but this would be useful if the bottom section was used for general recycling.

    Really pleased with purchase, even though the bins are not cheap, they are worth the price. Bought two of these as we have to separate our waste into four bins for the Council. These have made this much less of a chore and are much easier to keep clean than previous bins. We like the carbon filters.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersJoseph Joseph have put a lot of thought into this, improved on original by losing the bulky lid/cover and making the overall bin more compact and yes good looking! We bought the stainless steel version at a discount and very happy with the surface quality, it’s easy to clean and doesn’t smear much. The original had a divider for lower recycling compartment, this one doesn’t – don’t know why they took away that option.

    But there is an ISSUE with LID which a lot of people have talked about, it tends to stick closed after cleaning, some kind of vacuum between edges of lid and edges of top bin. My solution was to oil with WD40 or similar, after this no problems, so try this before going to the trouble of returning your bin.

    The other design issue is the opposite – I think the lid will refuse to stay to closes after a few years of wear because the lid-release tolerances are so thin, 1 or 2mm of plastic wear will make the mechanism fail. No such problem with original, but overall this version is more convenient, more compact, and quicker to install bin bags neatly.

    My husband said,” it’s just two bins!” But he’s so wrong. For a start it’s 3 bins. Rubbish, recycling and food for composting. I love that the opening is wide so really easy to get rubbish in. Also really easy to clean. Helps stop clutter in the kitchen too.

    Great bin that does what it’s suppose to do. Been looking for something like this for some time & I’m delighted with my purchase!!! The only negative thing that I can say about this product is that the outside finish on the plastic container is strange but does not detract from the functionality & effectiveness of the bin!!! You only notice it when washing it!! The inside finish is very smooth. Would recomend it without reservation!!!

    This bin has been in use for a while now, but despite its size it doesn’t quite have enough separation storage, and the food caddy is in my experience far too small. Here in Devon we need to separate out glass, plastics, paper, card and food. It might work if it had dividers for the two main compartments (mine has none), but for a family of four, who make a real effort to buy products with unnecessary packaging, there’s just not the capacity to store easily the separated items. In an ideal situation, one could do with two of these bins, but we don’t have the room in the kitchen.

    So, we use it to store landfill in the top, and compacted cardboard in the lower section. Glass and plastics and stored outside in council boxes, and food is stored in compostable bags lining a bigger caddy, the small supplied caddy has been removed.

    On a positive note, the bin looks, great and is very well made and finished and is mostly very easy to use … mostly, because the pop-up lid does not always released when the handle is pressed fully down; it’s as though the lid is just making a seal around the top of the bin, but it doesn’t do it always!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAs stated in the headline, this bin is amazingly easy on the eye, with its stylish lines and contrasting orange interior.

    So, the unit has 2 large multi-use compartments with easy-to-remove & clean interiors (they even have little cut-outs near the base to stop filled bags getting stuck due to a vacuum forming!) removable+ repositionable lidded caddy for food waste.

    The top section is lidded and has an integrated odour control filter (this needs to be replaced at 3-monthly intervals, 8 for a pack of two). There is one included. This is attached to a legged frame.

    The bottom section has integrated casters underneath, to allow ease of sliding in and out from underneath the fixed, top section. This part does not have a lid. It also doesn’t line up particularly evenly, which I would expect given the price tag. A little wiggling into place can help, but I think the actual construction design limits how close the tolerances can be.

    The food caddy has an integral clip, allowing you to fit it in the corner of whichever section you like, which is nice and very thoughtful design.

    All section use custom-fit liners, which are purchasable from the JJ website, and I guess Amazon. They come in various sizes, but this bin includes three each of the IW6 + IW2 liners.

    Overall, would I recommend this bin? Well, it all depends on how much money you have. As I said earlier, it looks very, very good. There are some extremely thoughtful aspects to it as well. However, if you use the recommended JJ liners, odour reducers etc. then it’s going to be an extremely expensive prospect to maintain. As their bags are somewhere in the region of 7-9 per 50, depending on size. I have no doubt, the bags are good quality – perfectly sized for the compartments, but I think after the first couple of tries, I’d be looking to find a cheaper alternative.

    So, in summary. It’s a great bin – good looking and extremely practical, but expensive to run if you go with the OEM eco-system. If you find a super-market alternative, then it might be a lovely addition to your new kitchen. You probably won’t find a nicer looking bin!

    Neat stylish design. High initial cost & expensive continued running costs.

    I was quite apprehensive about this bin because its so expensive, but i love it.

    My kitchen is very small, only 10ft x 6ft but this is tall and small so is a perfect size for my kitchen.

    The bin is split into 2 x 30 litre compartments. The bottom one is on wheels and so slides in and out of the frame very easily. The top one is accessed via a lid, you press the silver part, and the lid comes up by itself. It raises slowly so no chance of hitting yourself on the lid.

    Both compartments have orange plastic inner buckets that have spaces around the corners so you can lift them out easier. The bin comes with a small sample of black bin liners that fit both buckets, but you are only given 3 to try. If you want more the bags are IW6, and they cost 8 quid for 20. This is my only negative, they cost far more than i am prepared to pay for bin liners, so i bought a roll of 40 lemon scented ones from the pound shop which fit perfectly.

    You also get a small compost corner that sits in the top corner of the upper bucket. It comes with a lid. You are given a sample of 3 bags. The replacements are IW2 and cost 8 quid for 50. They are quite thick and don’t leak.

    You also have a carbon filter that you pop in the top for odour control. The replacements cost 8 quid for 2. I’ve no idea how long they last but the more frequent you empty the bin, the less odours it will soak up.

    Both of the buckets are very easy to clean. They were clean with just fairy liquid and a sponge, because the outside is plastic, it is also extremely easy to keep clean with just some anti bacterial spray and a cloth.

    The colour is classed as stone, but its a very light grey with orange buckets. It looks very smart.

    Personally i love the bin, its smart and sleek, and the 10 year guarantee is a great reason to buy it, my only negative is the cost of the replacement bags and filters.

    Love i

    Golden Review Award: 73 From Our UsersI was overwhelmed by the size of this bin when it arrived, but assumed most of it would be packaging. I was wrong! The bin is generously sized and quite stable and solid. It comes pre-built, so no building or fiddling around with fittings. The stone colour is more of a cream in colour, and whilst it is very smart, I worry that it may look like it was meant to be white. Colour, in the end is down to preference and kitchen design so each to their own.

    I was impressed with the compartment sizes — they are suitable for a weeks waste for me and my partner. There is a nice neat area for the compostable waste too, which can be moved around to suit your preference. The drawers are smooth, fluid and easy to pull out, however, the handle on the bottom compartment is hindered by the inner orange bin, this could be trickier to maneuver and manage for those with larger fingers.

    The height of the bin is suitable which prevents having to bend over all of the time. I prefer to have the recycling waste in the bottom drawer as it was easier for me to navigate and remove; with the general waste and compost in the top section, we were able to make more use of the filter in the lid — which kept the whole thing very fresh.

    Included with the bin are a pack of trial bags and a filter to use, which is great to get you started. Whilst “normal” bin bags will suffice, they do not fit quite as well (surprise surprise) as the ones designed for them. The bin has marking inside should you forget which types of bags you will require; the suitable bags and filters are as follows:
    * IW6 30-Litre General Waste Liners – Pack of 20 (Amazon product-code: B07PT7VL7Y).
    * IW2 4-Litre Compostable Bags – Pack of 40 (Amazon product-code: B00UYAN0DA).
    * Carbon Filter – Pack of 2 (Amazon product-code: B00UYAMYT6).
    Depending how quickly you go through bags, the cost to maintain using this bin with genuine parts, could get quite costly.

    All in all, it’s a great bin, as great as a bin can be — and if you’re looking to treat yourself to a stylish, good use of space bin — I would say it’s worth the money in the long run.
