It’s quite pricier than the competition but once you open the box, you’ll be happy that you ordered it. It is quality.
Absolutely love our posh new bin. Doesn’t slide on the floor, closes tight by itself, keeps smells in, looks fab, good foot pedal and with the proper bags to fit it’s bin heaven !
Great bin. Lovely muted metallic colour. Arrived in perfect shape – no dents, cuts and bruises. No noise from slow closing lid. Very stable.
Very nice product as you’d expect from Brabantia.
Sleek design which is easy to clean.
The soft close lid is great and works well.
Would be even better if there was a carry handle on it and a metal handle to pull the bin out with.
Overall great product and would highly recommend.
i have ben having brabantia for lots of different things around the house always been happy for years but i wont anymore as the bin used ha ve a handle by the lid made life easy now they dont its put me right off a howard
This bin feels strong in use and does not slide around the kitchen floor. The closing action is very smooth, and using the Brabantia branded bags supplied it is very easy to use – no mess, no fuss. It is more expensive that the one we had before, but given the ten year guarantee we are pleased with our purchase.
Really pleased with my new Pedal Bin
just the right size and it looks good delivered in perfect condition not a dent or mark on it would highly recommend
Really good little bin for a bathroom. Looks very expensive and very easy to clean. Comes with a pack of little plastic bags that fit perfectly into it. Overall 10/10 product.
Recently had our en suite renovated and I wanted a small, compact but nice looking soft close bin. This one is perfect. First Brabantia bin I’ve bought and it’s definitely worth the extra money you pay compared to buying just a standard, cheap bin. I highly recommend this and I love the various colours it comes in. I bought the one in metallic mint and it’s really nice
Sturdy and quiet. The lid opens quickly then closes smoothly and silently. Good capacity for a small household or someone who lives alone.. Easy to remove bin liners. Would recommended.
Sturdy, non slip with a soft close lid and a decent foot pedal, a great bin, bought the Mineral Concrete Grey which is lovely, has a matt finish so not shiny and easy to clean. Inner bucket easy to remove and wash. Would buy again and would recommend. Delivered in a very sturdy strong outer Amazon box with a Brabantia box inside, no damage at all, just perfect!
Overall I am very happy with my new bin. It looks very smart. The white is bright.
I got it at a bargain price of 41 but I think it is worth the regular 60 asking price.
The only thing I don’t like about it is the foot pedal resistance. The lid swings up way too fast and if it is against a wall it often hits the wall. I have to try to lift the lid slowly with a lighter foot press.
It is really easy to fit and change bin bags. The lid keeps in all the bin odours and has a brilliant secure fit. It is not silent but is quite quiet, with a muffled sound when it drops.
The foot pedal is plastic but seems robust.
I like that there is a reminded inside of the binbags required. But I’m still using my leftover 50l Tesco drawstring bags with no problem.
Lovely bin – sturdy and stylish – been considering this purchase for some time -can’t imagine why I hesitated – so much better than cheaper plastic alternative
Well pleased – would highly recommend
So easy to clean with an antibacterial wipe, you won’t have issues with fingerprints and smears like you do with stainless steel pedal bins . It’s a nice Charcoal grey so matches with our colour scheme. Love the fact it is soft closing so you don’t get that awful clang noise which makes it very obvious you’ve used the bin! Brabantia bins have never caused us trouble, mechanisms seem to last a long time and the product wears very well with life’s little mishaps. Would buy again!
Its brilliant. We had one of those press & pop up lids before and of course it broke !. This is a traditional foot pedal in a modern design. Works every time and u can use any bags to put inside – u dont have to buy the recommeded ones. Good buy
Had Brabantia bin for 20 plus years. Time for a new one. Old one (still nothing wrong with it!) now used in my workshop. Smart new soft-close red one in the kitchen. Excellent product… cannot be beaten. Quality excellent.
I think for this kind of bin, Brabantia is the best on the market. It looks better than the cheaper knock offs, although a bit on the expensive side.
Ok, so it’s a bit expensive, but if you want impressive and stylish quality then don’t shirk at the price. It looks really smart in our newly decorated kitchen and always draws a comment or two. Love the soft close lid too. Just don’t seat it too close to any wall edges though, ‘cos it will surely dint if you smack it open too sharply. But it. It’s a smartly styled sensibly option and the metallic green is heavenly.
We got this bin to use in the nursery for our baby’s nappies and it does a great job. It’s nice and compact but still holds a decent amount. Really easy to empty as well.
You can’t beat the quality as with all their items, although you do pay the price.
You get what you pay for at the end of the day and this will outlive all the other 5 small bins we have previously brought from the supermarket and look a lot better and stay nicer throughout!
Highly recommend although a little expensive.
The matt grey bin was on offer when I bought it and so this made a great quality product be a good price. Speedy next day delivery. Very pleased with the purchase
This is a fair quality, slim line rubbish bin . As the other reviewers have pointed out if it is pushed close to the wall the lid will hit the wall each time you push the pedestal down and open it.
To me the biggest con for this item is that you can not find really suitable bin liner for it except the one produced by the same manufacturer. The other 30 litres liners are too wide and short, so in effect you will be wasting these. It is a shame as there are many liners out there recycled and cheaper and yet one is locked into buying theirs.
I’m so pleased with this bin I could not Refuse to write a review. I’ve Bin around a while now and in my time we’ve had a few bins in the bathroom, but this little number from Brabantia is the pick of the Litter! It’s well designed in terms of practicality and style and I have Wheelie bin pleased with it. It was quite expensive but it looks good and works well so wasn’t a Waste of money.
Would recommend.
I Love my new bin. It looks great & is easy to empty & keep clean. The soft close lid & the pedal make it hands free to use.
I highly recommend i
I don’t like big bins as I prefer to change the bag often and not have rubbish sitting in there for days on end, so this bin is perfect. Looks great in my open plan kitchen/living room and the quality is excellent.
Now, I don’t usually look at a bin and think “that is a nice bin”, but this one really is very posh looking indeed. It’s sturdy and easy to remove and replace the bin liners as the lid actually opens a good amount to allow access (which more and more modern bins seem to lack). The pedal is a decent size and the black matt finish is a professional one. The best bit? Money from the sale goes towards a marine charity – yes, it might be a bit pricier than other bins, but this one is quality and I’d buy another in a heartbeat! – R
Exactly what you’d expect from Brabantia – though the colour is NOT gold – it is beige – but nice enough
I have had many bathroom bins that never live up to my expectation but this one is the best I’ve had. The colour is deep and the finish makes it look very expensive, well I suppose it is quite expensive but it definitely shows. The bin feels solid and not light and flimsy. The last bin I had, I put a weight in to stop it moving all over the floor when you opened it, this has no such problems. You get a small pack of bin liners to start you off. They are size W. Although I have seen that size B will fit. I shall be buying another colour for the downstair bathroom.
Highly recommended
I like the look of this bin. It’s just a bit more white than I expected. I probably should have gone for the light grey model. But it looks good overall and is of solid construction. Would recommend.
First one arrived with a dent in the lid, but speedily replaced by helpful customer service. Replacement arrived and looks so cool in my kitchen. Lovely black matt finish so none of the marks you get on stainless steel.
I would say quite expensive for a bin!! I wanted a white one so not much choices. It’s a pedal bin, nothing special but the suck in pressure when removing the bin bag is taken care of so no struggle removing the bin bag which is quite a big help
I expected the platinum finished bin to be a sort of dark brushed steel effect. Silly me. It’s simply battleship grey paint!
Consequently it doesn’t go well with my brushed steel fridge door. Looking back at the picture of it I can now see that it is in fact a painted finish.
Oh well. I’ll have to live with it.
Looks neat in the en-suite and works well. Looks quite sturdy.
It turns out that Mineral Concrete Grey, is a sort of dark beige with sparkly bits (it’s always so difficult to get a good idea of colour from online pictures) which works quite well in my white with grey “highlights” bathroom. The opening and closing mechanism is really smooth and gentle – no crashing and clanging. And whether it’s the base or the gentleness of the opening/closing or both, it seems to stay where it’s put on my tiled floor. 5l seems to me to be a pretty ideal size for a small bathroom (when your local council only collects rubbish once a fortnight) but it probably means that there’s not much alternative to buying quite expensive Brabantia bin liners unless you happen to be possessed of more than a normal amount of patience. Overall I like it so much that I’m now considering replacing my kitchen bin with a somewhat larger Brabantia.
You cannot go wrong with Brabantia bins for its quality and you get just that for what you have paid for. Got same bin with touch open 30 litre for the kitchen and still like brand new for a couple of years now. Bin arrived with some bin liners to which was useful! Purchased it to replace existing bin that keeps getting filled up too quickly….think must be a 3 Litre bin I got from the high street. Initially thought it was going to be same size bin as didn’t have a clue how big old bin was, so glad to find it is bigger but not an eyesore in the bathroom. It gets my thumbs up without hesitation!
a nice large size we are having a very large gathering of hungry Birds do they no something we don’t perhaps we are going to receive a large amount of Snow . Any way a very good product Ke
Nice small, good quality bin with a removable inner which is easy to clean (and also has no annoying handle). I have it on my kitchen worktop for used teabags and other small quantities of compostable rubbish. I use a 5-litre compostable bin liner in it. The closure is good, so there’s no smell (not that teabags smell much!) and I only need to empty it once a week. then it’s a quick rinse of the inner bin, dry it, new bag and I’m ready for the next week. Easy to keep the outside looking good as well, unlike my previous one which was chromed.
Lovely neat looking quality bin. Ordered the white colour, says white on the box but the white is not brilliant white like in the photos and what one would expect. It’s an off-white almost magnolia-ish. Gave the bin to a friend because of this.
Excellent product from Brabantia. You know when you buy Brabantia that you are getting a quality product. This size of bin is ideal for a small kitchen and 1or 2 peoples rubbish. The soft close lid is a lovely touch as well.
So far so good. I’m using it for food waste, I just hope it’s fruit fly proof.
I love Brabantia bins, I’ve three already so when I needed another one in my hobby room it was the first choice. To be truthful the old one was working just fine but had no lid so when a new resident came, who thought emptying bins was fun, it was time to buy a lidded bin. Fortunately he hasn’t discovered how to open the lid with the pedal although I have discouraged by turning that bit to the wall.
They might be a bit more expensive than other bins but they look good and they do last a long time. This one was quite a good price as well.
We have a red Smeg dishwasher and needed a new kitchen waste bin. Saw this and decided to give it a go. The colour matches the dishwasher so that is a plus point. However the main good point is the ease at which the inner bag container comes out , so it can be cleaned easily. We also find that the bin bags ( Brabantia ) that were recommended that we use last two days rather than having to empty every day. The bin seems sturdy and is a smart addition to the kitchen. Would recommend.
It’s a nice looking bin, but the bin lid broke not long into having it. The 10 warranty saves this hugely – it’s a good brand and worth a buy!
What s lovely little bin. Goes perfectly with my new bathroom. Love the soft close lid.
My first trash can, and I must say what a lifestyle upgrade! Gone are the days of hanging tesco bags of the handles of my kitchen drawers. 20L is a perfect size if your boyfriend empties it once a day. Great color selection for every kitchen design. We went for white and it fits in greatly; it simply disappears into the interior without attracting too much attention to your trash (if you color-coordinate). The lid mechanism is soft and silent. Highly recommend using it with the brabantia 20L trash bags, it’s a match made in heaven.
I cannot recommend this product highly enough! It’s easy to clean due to the materials, and doesn’t require bin bags due to the hard plastic inside the bin, what I tend to do, is when it’s full, I take the hard plastic out and empty the waste straight into the dustbin, you immediately save money on those tiny bin bags that seem to be a prerequisite for other bins! Due to the clearly high quality materials this bin is made from, I really can see this product lasting a long time, I would highly recommend this Brabantia Bin!
I brought this as ‘shop soiled’ but it’s as good as new (only the packaging looked a bit battered) and it is very useful in my kitchen. Nice and big and easy to find (I am disabled and partiallys ighted)
Does what it says on the tin. Ideal if you like to clear your bins every couple of days.
The appearance is gorgeous, that’s why I bought it regardless of the high price.
However once you press the pedal, the lid tends to open too much and hit the wall on the back.
Lovely red and nice quality. I am using the bag provided and haven’t had to buy any replacements yet. Would recommend.
Wife’s valentines gift and boy was she impressed. Bin is easy to use and remove the liners the old bin we had.
This bin is the right size and colour to fit in a tiny space in the bathroom. It doesn’t slip much when the pdeal is pushed down. There need to be more bins that do not slip on hard floors as currently slipping bins are not practical. it is easy to clean because of the inner removable bucket.
I love this bin so far! I bought the bags to fit ans although they seem expensive I felt since we only use one or two a week in the Kitchen (due to recycling most the other stuff) that it wasn’t too bad! Probably wouldn’t be quite as wonderful without the purpose fitted bags!
I read a lot of the reviews and was a little concerned about how many people said the lid was dented, but the deal was so good I went ahead anyway. Received this morning, well packaged and I am very happy to say no dents! Took 2 photos to prove that. Very happy with my purchase and the bin functions as expected, foot operated and a soft close…great, thank you Amazon.
This product arrived on time and for its size holds quite a lot. We have it in our kitchen and is perfect for the job.
Nice bin, really happy with it. Good size for a daily use. I use normal bags as the other are a little costly. Nice colour as it’s more or less the same as my units so it blends in. Slow close which is great. Good quality bin, just wish the matching bin bags were a little more cheap as I change the bags daily.
I got two of these to replace a super market own ‘Brabantia style’ metal bin and a plastic Addis kitchen bin. These bins are simply much, much better. Little things like the holes in the plastic liner so there is minimal air resistance when putting it back in the bin, the soft close, are tiny details that make it easy to live with. One of mine got scratched but some car bodywork scratch repair from a pound shop sorted that.
Well made. Good size for kitchen use. Pedal action good also quiet lid close. Good value for money and looks very good.
I absolutely love the design of this bin. I have the grey one and it goes with my interior design. I would highly recommend the bin bags that come with it as they fit perfectly and never fall off the edge. It closes nicely however be careful not to have it too close to a wall as I have noticed some small dents on the top.
We use this for all kitchen non recyclable items. The soft close lid means it does not frighten the pets whose bowls are nearby. The inner bin has 2 hand holds making it easy to remove to replace the plastic liner bag when it is full.
Whilst the Brabantia plastic disposable liners are great, they are costly so choose a good quality supermarket own brand liner to suit.
The pedal has soft action and the lid opens easily with no clanking. Make sure it has enough space to allow the lid to open fully. Don’t be tempted to stamp on the pedal.
The colours are diverse and there is bound to be one to suit most customers. Ours goes well with the natural stone floor.
I purchased this 30 litre size pedal bin in almond colour for my kitchen and although the it arrived damaged, I returned it at no cost to myself and it was quickly replaced. I am delighted with this product, it looks very smart in my kitchen and I particularly like the soft-close lid. And it’s great to have disposable bags that actually fit the bin. I would recommend this product.
Love ours! With two toddlers, our kitchen is often a mess, but when I see our big bin, I feel like we’ve a sprinkle of style
Nice good looking bin.
Brabantia bin, so you are paying slightly more for the brand. But defo worthwhile as the pedal mechanism is better than the cheaper pedal bins. This also has 10 Year guarantee, which is great.
Good price if you buy the bin during promotions.
Only downside is the soft close is not as soft close as I would have thought, as it sometimes bangs when it closes. Not big enough issue for me to return though, hence the 4 stars.
This is quite possibly the most stylish bathroom bin I have ever owned. Very pleased with the purchase. It looks the part, is easy to clean and doesn’t take up too much of that precious space. Just make sure you get the right size bags for it. I’d say it’s perfect for a 1-2 people household, but way to small for a family. Despite the tiny size it is well made and surprising durable so it doesn’t tip over like cheaper bins sometimes do.
This almond coloured bin looks nice quality and the pedal and soft close work really well. The proper bin (11p each on Amazon) bags fit well and keep the inside of the bin clean. If it gets dirty may not be too easy to clean. I have yet to experiment with cheaper bags. The first bin arrived dented ( but was quickly replaced) so I feel it may not be durable. We have positioned the pedal at 90 degrees to the wall which means it can be placed closer to the wall- the back ‘rest’ and space taken by the lifting lid mean that otherwise it has to be placed a few centimetres from the wall. It could do with a handle to lift it for easy cleaning underneath.
This bin looks great and has a certain charm by looking similar to a post box. Functionally, it’s fine it’s easy to open and to remove the bin bag. You also don’t need to buy the expensive Brabantia bags, normal bags are fine. After some time the bin now does make a noise when opening but it still has its silent shutting process which is great if you have light sleepers.
I have given 5 stars to all aspects except the durability section as I am yet to see how durable this bin is. It looks great, and I like the soft touch closure function. I just hope it lasts me longer than a year my previous bins seem to break their open close mechanism or the pedal malfunctions. Fingers crossed.
I love Brabantia bins. They are always such good quality and have a 10 year guarantee – I bought this 30 litre bin in platinum (downsizing from a brabantia 50l). The colour is great and I’m just getting used to the pedal as my last bin was a soft touch type but all in all a great bin. I am very happy with this purchase!
This is a vast improvement on the one we had previously, although I can’t complain about how long it lasted the hinge was little more than a folded piece of plastic which eventually broke.
This one had a proper hinge although still plastic.
The other improvement on this one is that the operating rod is now inside the main body of the bin which gives the bin a better appearance and easier to clean.
It also comes with a pack of 5 bin liners
It’s really good, however I wish there existed some bin bags that wouldn’t stick out of it, I have to buy the brand’s own which are quite pricey.
I was given a cheaper version of this bin but the pedal broke quickly and the lid fell off. I decided to buy this Brabantia instead. First impressions are good. The Bin looks great: the pedal works easily; the lid closes quietly and effortlessly. Just hope that the Bin lasts a long time!
Delivered when promised.
The reviews for this bin were fairly good, but it is expensive. It seems to be a well-designed and well-manufactured bin. Have had problems before with the springs on the touch-and-release lids of other bins failing. The potential weak point on all of them is the lid-opening mechanism. If the pedal-lifting mechanism on this one breaks I will try to remember to update the review. But it seems robust so far. The bin size is about right, and it does take standard-sized draw-string bags.
This has replaced an old, smaller, Brabantia pedal bin. This has a soft close lid – which is strangely pleasing, and a clever design so that the liner bag doesn’t show when the lid is down. Also has a smooth action pedal. I bought this one half price from the warehouse because it has damage. I wouldn’t pay full price.
Very happy with the quality of the product. The pedal is very smooth and the soft close works perfectly. Hoping the paint won’t fade and it will stay rust free.
Prompt delivery, looks great and just the right size for our downstairs toile
Had thought I got the white but as it turns out received the cream – a more buttery yellow-ish cream than near a white/cream. Great, great quality and am happy bought 2 for around the house. Only qualm is the lid opens slightly beyond the vertical (backwards), so can’t be placed right up against a wall – needs a few cm clearance.
This is a well made bin. It stays where you put it, meaning it does not walk when you operate it. The foot pedal does not have a lot of resistance and the lid closes nice and softly. The plastic inner bin is removed easily for putting a new bag in, and itself has been designed well, it is not just any old plastic inner bin.
Recommended purchase.
Great bin. A lot better than expected. Maybe a little pricey but worth it. A nice slow-close lid so you don’t get that banging sound when it closes. Nice feel to it and the colour (Mineral Golden Beach) is a match to the picture which goes well with a similar coloured kitchen.
The only downfall is the difficulty of getting the bin bag to be concealed. I make use of an electric band.
I would recommend.
A well made small bin but just be aware that it is NOT very white. I bought it for my bathroom and up against the bath and other fixtures it appears quite cream so I am actually using it for the bedroom and am having to look again for something white.
I love the soft close feature. I never liked pedal bins because the lid would always slam back down. But this is a good one and I’m very happy with my purchase.
There is one negative point, not to do with the bin itself but the first bin I received. It had a dent in the lid so I had the hassle of sending it back and getting a new one. (The new one is great) From the way it was packaged, I’d guess that the suppliers kept sending the damaged bin out and hoping that it would be accepted by someone. Watch out for this!
othing to add. I never paid so much for trash bin really). I am very impressed, it looks organically in the kitchen and makes my kitchen looks really expensive (ha-ha). opens/closes very quietly, pedal is very nice to step on, there is inner bin and plastic hoop to hide the bin bag inside nice and neatly. the colour is too. expensive…
Nice quality looking item. Love the mat colour and the reliable soft closing lid. Re bagging is easy and nothing shows under the lid which makes the whole thing look very nea
Excellent quality – nicely designed and a pleasure to use. We bought two, one in matt black for our bathroom and a platinum one for our home office.
The come with 5 bags to get you started too, which is nice (although we also ordered a pack of their pages anyhow, and as both our bins are the same size that’s ideal for us).
Highly recommended!
I’m more or less 100% happy with this bin. Wish I’d spent my money earlier to be honest instead of wasting a tenner at a time for crap plastic bins. My example is perfect and flawless, really nicely finished (platinum colour which matches other items in my kitchen). 30 litres keeps a fair amount of rubbish and the Brabantia bags (which you can get off Amazon for about 15p a go, in packs of 40) seem great. They fit perfectly and are very easy to use. The soft close aspect of the bin is great, as is the inherent hygiene of a foot operated mechanism. The only drawback to me, and this could be described as a bit of a design flaw, is that the lid hinge is external, meaning the lid will bang off the wall if it is placed too closely. I’m going to fix this by putting something behind the bin so it physically can’t get too close to the wall. So, a flaw in my eyes but not impossible to resolve. I’m really impressed with this nice, slimline, aesthetically pleasing bin.
Bought as a seconds – with a few dents on lid. Happy enough for ensuite bin and worth what I paid. Hoping 10 year warranty will make it last. Very nice quality. No flimsy at all. Surprised the lid was dented in the first place. Nice soft close action, which is new novelty for us, but makes getting ready quietly at 5am easier on other half. Looks really nice. Much better than cheaper versions available. Lovely and shiney polished finish. Not Chrome but equally attractive. Feels very well made. Very please so far.
Good pin and great at reducing the smells, but we are struggle with our bin bags to keep in the correct place- they are eco-degradable bags and without a drawstring on the top they slip off the bin lid- which is really annoying! But great bin other than that!
12 litre brilliant steel. The handle to pick up the bin is a bit small, maybe a bit awkward if you need to move the item around frequently. The lid does not remain in open position (soft closing), unless you press & hold the foot pedal. 12l good size for bathroom. Seems good build quality and has a quiet closing lid.
Great bin! I was a bit worried about spending so much on a bin but when our old pedal bin broke, I needed a new one. The lid is lovely and closes gently. The pedal appears sturdy and will hopefully last through all my children stepping on it. The color is nice and muted. The sample bag was so nice I have gone and bought some more.
Beautiful bin and love the soft close and the fact that it came with 3 bin bags (converted us to buying more from their brand because of the ideal fit). Our bin came with a dent on the lid which upset me very much but the bin is fantastic so not worth taking stars off for. We also love that this purchase helped the Ocean Cleanup. Beautiful product.
I like the bin but extremely disappointed with the surface. I bought the brushed steel version which was cheaper and now I know why. You only have to touch the bin (with clean hands) and there are smears showing on the bin, even from a distance! Constantly wiping it over and over again to keep it smear free.
Just arrived and already noticing a big difference from our last ‘rubbish’ bin! Excuse the pun! This brushed steel effect bin seems really solid, it doesn’t show all the marks like the old polished metal one did, the oedal movement is smooth and feels stable and substantial but easy to push, the lid opens smoothly and quietly and shuts slowly and quietly also. The slow, smooth movement, helps prevent nasty niffs and dust and flyaway bits escaping the bin also. Overall very happy – plus comes with 10 year guarantee if you complete the regiatration form. What’s not to like?
The 3L size is a really good size for the bathroom.
As others have commented, the white colour is not as I expected, it is a creamy colour more than a brilliant white colour, it still looks nice but I would have preferred it to be more of a brilliant white. I’ve reduced it to four stars due to colour discrepancy only.
The bin itself is very well made, and has s soft close lid which is nice.
After having lots of sensor bins by different makers that I had problems with, I saw this in a well known store, loved the colour but thought it was a bit expensive so didn’t buy it – then couldn’t find another that I liked as much! After searching I found it on Amazon cheaper than the store, so ordered it and have been very pleased with it since, so much so I bought the matching bread bin. The bin is the perfect size, has a soft close feature and can’t find anything I dislike about it. I wish there was a smaller square bin for my recyclables as would definitely buy.
I just received the small 3L bin, it’s just the right size for my bathroom, the soft close lid is good and the anti tipping mechanism is great which is the reason why I bought this bin. I had bought a cheaper bin which tipped over every time i pressed on the pedal, waste of money. I bought the white although it’s not a bright white but I’m very happy with it and 5 free bin liners, great!
We’ve been using this bin as a nappy bin, as we didn’t want to have to pay the high cartridge costs of the bins specifically designed to hold nappies.
I was worried it would stink, but the bin’s airtight bin seal works a treat. At 8 nappies a day, the 20L can go ~5 days without being emptied – and when the lid is closed you can’t smell a thing (just need to hold your breath for a few seconds when you hit the pedal!). Well built!
When I purchased the bin I also purchased a supply of size A 3 litre liners as ‘recommended’ in the “Frequently bought together” section. However, the bin came with 5 size V 3 litre liners and that was confirmed by the size recommendation inside the bin lid.
I contacted Brabantia via the web form on their site and the reasonably prompt reply contained the following explanation:
Begin Quote.
The “A” liners are a little to large (you can still use them) for the newicon bin & would require the “V” liners, the problem is the new liners will be out in around 3/4 weeks for sale.
The codes will change as the older style bins & liners sell out & will only then have the “V” on them & with those liners you will get a perfect fit for the newicon syle bins.
End Quote.
In fact at the time of writing V size bags *are* in stock on the UK Brabantia site but only in the largest quantity (240 waste bags). I note that Amazon prices for Brabantia bin liners (various sizes) appear to be that same as those listed on the Brabantia site (at the time of writing there are no V size liners listed on Amazon).
My comments only relate to the “Brabantia Pedal Bin newIcon with Plastic Inner Bucket, 3 Litre – White” but the other bin sizes in the range may also specify different code sizes than those currently recommended/available on the Amazon product pages. Given that the bins come with 5 liners it would seem wise to buy the bin before ordering additional liners in order to be sure you are ordering the correct size code. If you register the bin with Brabantia and at least agree to receive their newsletter, by return email you get a 10% off code your next purchase from the Brabantia site which you could use to purchase liners if you wish.
I have no problems with the bin itself and am considering whether to use my 10% code to purchase a second larger size bin for another room in addition to a supply of liners for both bins.
Great looking bin. Pedal function very smooth and lid does not slam shut. Contains smells. May be a bit small for larger families, but all it means is that you may need to change bin bags during the week. Do not buy the Brabantia bin bags as far too expensive and you can get cheaper ones in supermarkets or DIY stores that work just as well.
My other bin was too small for all the jonnies I went through this is much bigger and better. I don’t like to flush them as I’m worried about the fishes and the earth or something along those lines….I forge
Lovely bin, well designed, does what it says on the tin, typical of Brabantia. I don’t bother with the Brabantia bin liners though, works perfectly OK with recycled carrier bags, unless you are OCD about the aesthetics of a bin!
A good size for kitchen use, big enough to hold bottles and larger items but does not rise above the worksurface. Looks smart too and is easy to keep clean. Bags are easy to fit and close and tie neatly when full. I wish they made transparent bags as our binmen won’t take recyclable items in opaque sacks.
