46L Recycling Pedal Bin

It's only an hour old at this point in time. So far so good. The usual wrestle to get it out of the packing boxes. The item came well wrapped and fully intact. It's actually quite heavy, especially when compared the cheap sensor bin we had until this arrived. Inside the lid you'll find a full plastic liner which you wrap your bin bags around the top of, no retaining ring or anything, it's just a simple thing. The liner is fully removable, so is easier to clean. There are vent holes a few inches from the bottom which make it easier to put back into place and being off the bottom means any small leaks won't end up all over your floor. In operation, the lid is smooth to open and the soft close mechanism works very nicely. It's all internal to the frame and the lid really does open without the usual annoying extra space requirement of normal pedal bins, you really can put it up against a wall or such without worries. It's quite stable on the floor and does not do the ridiculous dance around the kitchen of normal pedal bins. Even empty, it's staying put. Registering via a bar code was quite simple to be honest and they do have a UK website now. Registering gave me 20% off some more bin liner bags. Speaking of which, a pack of 10 was included with the new bin. This was better than I imagined, I thought perhaps only 3 might come. The bin bags seems good quality compared to the cheapo things I've been using up until now. They don't seem very easy to tear with any sharp corners.

fantastic bin! *ADVANTAGES* 1) Excellent size 2) Stylish - looks amazing in the kitchen 3) the rectangular size rather than a standard circular bins means it's easier to fit in places and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. 4) no need for the more expensive simple human liners, the standard ones fit fine. 5) self-closing lid is perfect, closes very slowly and smoothly, so you never need to get your hands dirty by touching the outside. 6) it is has a fingerprint-proof brushed stailnless steel finish, meaning it leaves no finger marks. 7) easy to clean DISADVANTAGES 1) Slightly pricey but a worthwhile investment. This is a totally utilitarian product that, however, also looks great, particularly in kitchens with stainless steel features. The self closing lid, which closes satisfyingly slowly, means that you never have to handle the the outside. However, even if you do handle it the fingerprint-proof brushed stailnless steel finish means that no evidence is left behind - a Godsend if you have sticky little members of your household with sticky little fingers! The bin's shape also means that if you want to site it in a relatively narrow gap it is possible as it fits almost right up to the wall. The only potential downside is the cost of the bags. The bin comes with 5 when new but replacing these is a bit of a pain. However, I fit any white liners and secure them to the inner black plastic bin with a large elastic band - so problem solved!

Perfect size. Simple pedal design with a soft close lid. Lids locks open for easy emptying. Even comes with free sample bin liners. The two bins are the perfect size compromise for the amount of space it takes up and the volume of trash/recycling it will hold. The best bit is the Simplehuman bin liners. They fit perfectly, they’re strong, and they’re cheap. I ordered refills from the Simplehuman website and they arrived post free for less than I can buy standard liners from the supermarket. The bin itself is beautiful quality. You like German engineering? This is right up there. Good, no, great quality stainless steel outer skin and lid, resists finger marks and wipes clean in an instant. The pedal mechanism is reassuringly robust and it just works. Not many things are teenager proof but they haven’t managed to kill this yet after a year. The base has wheels at the back for easy maneuvering in tight spaces. The lid fits perfectly so no smells creep out overnight to stink out your kitchen. The plastics are kept to a minimum but what is used is super high quality and shows no sign of wear. One wipe with a damp microfiber cloth and it looks brand new again. Very smart design that will look great in even the most high class kitchens. 6 stars all round.

We've had this for about 2 months. It's a waste bin for the kitchen but it's one of the most beautiful, elegant, easy to clean objects in the house. £150 for a bin seems extravagant but I think in this case, you really do get what you pay for. The simplehuman bin liners that came with it are an excellent fit and very strong and although replacements are expensive, I'll most definitely buy them from simplehuman as there's just no comparison with generic bags from the supermarket. The bin itself is beautifully designed with small air gaps at the base of the "bucket" the bag sits in so you can expand the bag easily without it billowing out of place. The stainless steel exterior is very easy to wipe down if anything gets spilled onto it. There is a recess at the back of the bin (I think it's supposed to be used for hiding any excess liner but with this there is no excess) so you can lift it with one hand whilst you vacuum underneath with the other and there's an extra half inch or so of the base at the back so that it doesn't push right up against a wall so you can get your fingers into that recess easily. All in all I'd be hard pressed to find a better bin and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's in need of a new kitchen bin.

We are very pleased with the size and quality of the trash bin. It is tall, with a wide opening and very easy to use.

Received in perfect condition. 30 litter holds lots. Need only 20 litter but don't make. Hade a butterfly but found it awkward and let smell out. No smell out with this one. Works we.

Me encanto, es igual que la foto. Creo que si es caro pero vale totalmente la pena, es muy sencillo separar la basura y le queda cualquier bolsa, sino quieres comprar las que requiere el bote, aunque después de utilizarlas son una buena opción. Se ve muy bien en la cocina y quedo perfecto en el espacio que tenia pensado.

Mi piace moltissime d’averlo perché è pratico e bello (inox!)

Looks sleek I wanted a larger recycling option and this gave it to me, the has less depth than others but for me this is perfect for the area in the kitchen and it is the perfect size. The quality of construction is also excellent and so is the finish on the aluminum. Very quick delivery and well packaged. Well Pleased!!!
