Brabantia113000 Pedal Bin Newicon With Plastic Inner Bucket, 3 Litre - Almond

After reading several reviews about dented cans I was a bit worried. However, the unit I received was in perfect condition and the packing was also adequate to protect the contents. The only design flaw, if it can be called that, is that the soft close lid does not fully reach the closed position since the friction against the trash bin with a trash bag in place props it open slightly. This could have been considered and the size of the trash bin or the inside of the lid could have been adjusted accordingly. I still like the soft close feature since the lid closes without any loud noise.

Extreme tiny. You can only fit 3 coke cans in it , useless size for the price

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.

Antes de comenzar quisiera hacer un pequeño comentario sobre las evaluaciones negativas: yo estaba muy indeciso si comprarlo o no porque he leído un comentario que hablaba de "defectos básicos" que lo primero que me hace pensar es "me venden una chapuza que vale mas de 50 euros"..No soy vendedor, pero simplemente uno de los tantos compradores que leen con atención los comentarios (sobretodo los negativos para evitar de tirar el dinero).Vamos por pasos:- El cubo interior de plástico se extrae fácilmente sin ningún esfuerzo. De hecho, el cubo interior es ligeramente mas alto de los bordes que lo rodean y a los dos lados tiene un pequeño hueco que permite extraer el cubo interior sin ningún tipo de esfuerzo (ver imagen).- El cubo exterior (en aluminio) tiene un pequeño agarre en plástico que esto si resulta incomodo porque el agarre es muy pequeño (sobre todo para los hombres que tenemos las manos y dedos mas grandes y la superficie de agarre resulta aun mas pequeña). Por ese motivo, en caso que esté lleno, es mejor quitar antes la basura y luego desplazar el cubo al sitio donde lo queréis.- El pedal es muy suave. He tenido uno que apenas se apoyaba el pie la tapa se abría de golpe chocando contra la pared rompiendo tapa y pared. No es el caso de este. Claro que si uno aprieta el pedal con toda su fuerza la tapa vuela por los aires también con este!Una vez que se deja el pedal el cierre es suave (y eso me encanta así no escucho los golpes de la tapa cada vez que de los niños tiran algo!!).- En la base tiene antideslizantes así que una vez en el suelo no se arrastra porque va a dejar marcas en el suelo o vas a terminar arruinando/rompiendo la base del cubo (por eso se llama antideslizante, y cumple perfectamente con su función). No veo como esto pueda ser un defecto. Otro problema con fácil solución: si tenéis que tener el cubo cerca de vosotros mientras estáis cocinando lo único que hay que hacer es quitar el cubo interior como explicado antes y ponerlo al proprio lado, una vez terminado simplemente volver a ponerlo dentro el cubo exterior simplemente pisando con el pie el pedal sin necesidad de hacer quizás que acrobacias!- La tapa es muy delicada. Como demás comentarios la mía llego con una imperfección y no hay forma de arreglarlo. Una pena porque con el precio que uno paga "por un cubo de basura" se espera lo mejor como calidad de materiales.En definitiva: antes de comprar por comprar tener en cuenta no solo de las medidas del producto pero también de la medidas del sitio donde tenéis pensado ponerlo, y mas importante aun de que es lo que necesitas (es realmente necesario el cubo de 30L o el de 12L es mas que suficiente?).Por ejemplo, a mi me hubiera encantado un cubo mas alto porque con mi altura me toca agacharme para tirar la basura y recoger la bolsa, pero el espacio que tengo es lo que es y a eso me tengo que ajustar!No le doy 5 estrellas porque "en mi opinión" no es de 5 estrellas (sobre todo por el tema de la delicadez de la tapa que se aboya con facilidad), pero hay que reconocer que para ser solamente un cubo de basura es mucha cosa.

The bin looks good. The lid is pedal operated and it comes with 3 bags.The pedal is plastic but it doesn’t get scratched over time, there are only 3 pads under the bin but is remains stable.From my point of view there is a gap between the quality of previous Brabantia bins and this one.Upon activation the lid opens very fast and bounces back and forth. The lid travels way behind the bin, so if you put the bin close to a wall you will leave marks on both. Closure is slow and quite smooth.There is no handle on the inner bucket. The previous models had a metal handle which made removing and moving the bucket around a breeze.The handle in the back of the bin is a quite shallow and there is just enough room for fingertips, impractical when you need to move the bin around and unusable for those with long fingernails.

Prefer my old Branbntia bin which coped in the heat by containing smells.Not sure if it is because the bin metal is so thick but my bin does not smell pleasant (even in the cooler climate). I keep having to change the Branbantia bin liner before the bin is full as I can't cope with the smell.Branbantia has advised me to wash the bin but can't see this as being the problem as when I replace the bin liner, the bin is OK for couple of days and then by the third/fourth day unpleasant-tsmell-gate starts. (Considering I recycle food waste and paper, etc I don't see why I should be emptying my half full bin so quickly.)

A fantastic little bin for the bathroom. Incorporating a removable inner bucket that makes changing the bin liner easier.The good bits:Great build quality, the colouring is fantastic and of high quality.The mechanism works well, if a little less smoothly than the bigger bins, still very good for a smaller bin.The removable inner is very useful for changing the bin.Great support from brabantia with their 10y guarantee.The bad bits:The bin liners are a little expensive if you go branded, but they do fit very very well, are of good quality in that they don't break easily!The bin can move around on the floor fairly easily due to its small size and lack of decent non-slip feet. Not the biggest gripe but it would've been nice.There's no handle on the outside of the bin which would've been useful for moving the bin, again, only a little gripe.
