I liked the size, it is not too wide and fits into the kitchen well. It opens and closes slickly and the plastic inside make it easy to clean after emptying. It looks extremely elegant and expensive .

This mini bin looks quite nice and elegant. This is very thin, so doesnt take too much space. I also liked that the lid id slow release.Happy with the purchase.Hope you find the review helpful.

Small, but very solid build quality. The soft close is nice, the lid is stable and It looks good. There is a useful little groove underneath the lid hinge if you want to mount it to a wall, which is what I did.

This is a great refuse bin for the kitchen. My previous one was a Simple Human brand but couldn’t afford another like it from them. This one is just as nice and good, cleans up and functions well and much lower price.

Ordered this item based purely on the previous countless excellent product reviews from customers.As such the item came with high expectations.Arrived on time and extremely well packaged. Straight out of the box the bin is clearly solid and well made. The pedal and bin lid worked well (without a bin liner) and the inner bucket is a bonus making it extremely easy to remove and replace the bags. There’s a small hole to the rear of the bucket allowing you to push any excess into it allowing for a tight fit and to hide the bag from view on the outside.Bin all set I instantly noticed that at times you have to almost stamp on the pedal to make the lid open, it’s so intermittent that I can’t work out why it’s doing it, I’ve checked the bags aren’t preventing the lid from opening and I’m finding it a little frustrating and if it continues I can see issues arising with the moving parts in the near future due to the force required to open the lid, it springs open with such force that it opens to the fullest as if you are about to remove the bag, yes the lid holds itself open if you lift it open fully, requiring you to then manually push the lid forward to allow it to close again. The whole point in buying this bin was to allow hands free contactless use due to covid 19 and at present it isn’t providing that.It’s still new and I’m hoping that perhaps it will sort itself out, I want to give it a good crack before contacting amazon again and hope I don’t need to return it.Updated.A few months in, lid was still getting stuck. If only I’d thought of reshaping the “metal” bin in the first place.Took the inner bucket out, laid it on its back, lightly stood on the front of the bin to bend it a little and bingo, it now doesn’t catch at all and hasn’t done so in the 3 weeks since bending it straight.Never though for a second that a metal bin coming in protective packaging the way this did would be out of shape.Anyways if your lid catches, try bedtime the bin into the shape it was obviously meant to be and it will work. Not the best but it now works so

Particularly chose rectangular shape and this fitted the bill, decent thickness stainless steel, soft close lid and removable plastic liner which frees me from buying bin bags

Bought on 2rd Dec 2024 - today is 30th March 2025 and the lid no longer closes unless brute force is applied. Waste of money.
