46L Recycling Pedal Bin

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.

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!

We recently moved from a house where the kitchen had a fitted bin unit in an under-counter unit. The new house didn't so we needed something stylish and practical to take over... My main concern was: will it be big enough? So many bins are tiny, and need frequent emptying. Also - would it be robust enough to take the constant use that goes on in our household. First of all, I bought this through an offer on Amazon Warehouse and got it for under £100. I think at its recommended retail price it's over the top: but paying about £80 didn't seem exorbitant. Unlike some other buyers, it didn't have any dents in it, so we could start to use it straightaway. For two adults (no kids) it's about right size, I reckon. Needs empyting about once every three days - more at weekends. The pedal/lid action is smooth, no noise, and the slow-close is a nice touch. Getting the bins in and out can be tricky when they're full, but it's not impossible. So - overall, yes, I'm pleased we payed what we did: but I certainly wouldn't have wanted to pay more! Being able to position the bin right up against the wall is a plus, as it means it takes up just a little less space. We don't use a liner for the recycling part, but we are currently using Simplehuman bags for the main bin: they seem not too expensive so I'll probably order more rather than making do with other bags that don't really fit. A good buy; good quality; stylish; easy to use. Bit expensive.

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 have had this bin for a few months now and it has proved very good to use. It is stylish although a bit bland - as you can see. the soft-action return mechanism on the lid might seem like a gimmic but does make it a delight to use. It is capacious. The removable inner has meant that extracting difficult (full) bags is much easier and although other bins I have used have exactly the same feature - it just works better on this model. The lid-open lock is another simple but worthwhile feature which allows you to lock open the lid when, for example, changing bags or throwing away lots of stuff. Finally this bin does notneed to be stood off from the wall. Most pedal bins have a protruding hinge which needs clearance to open the lid. The big problem with such designs is that as they are foot operated (at the front) they naturally shuffle back toward the wall with use and either cannot be opened till they are pulled forward again or open but mark the wall. This unit sits happily against the wall with no problems. Would I reccomend this? Yes. For something so basic in function it has these few nice touches that just help make it easier and more enjoyable to use. What are the drawbacks? Just one; it is an expensive bin. I think that may be because the soft-closure capability is patented and so there is no just competition - if you want that nice action that is. So a brilliant but rather pricey bin!

I got fed up with recycling being left on the kitchen counter waiting to be carried out to the recycling bin outside. Then the kitchen bin we already had broke. It was time to get a better bin that would last longer and keep the kitchen a bit tidier. I chose this 46L dual model for it's large capacity and dual buckets for standard waste and recycling. I wish there was a slightly larger 50L version with the extra capacity given to the smaller bucket, but they don't make it and this was as close as I could get to my 'dream bin'!! The stainless steel finish looks good, and I haven't noticed any fingerprints in the last week since we got it - partly because the pedal means you don't have to touch it anyway! The soft-close lid is a good bonus and the whole pedal and lid construction seems robust and well made. It's tested to last the equivalent of 20 steps a day for 20 years, excellent longevity. We're really pleased with this item, it looks smart, works well and should last a long time.

Great bin to assist splitting recycling. Looks good and great quality.

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.

I struggled for years with cheap trash cans in my kitchen. The last one was white plastic, so cheaply made that the popup mechanism on the lid broke so it opened when the front pedal was depressed but didn't close itself. Forget about being hands-free! After the cheapo can slid out from my foot and fell over, I had had enough. I jumped on Amazon to find the best trash can I possibly could, and I was successful. This trash can simply rocks. It is heavy enough to stay in place. The soft-close lid works like a charm. The pedal is heavy-duty and will last a very long time. The whole inner plastic can is easy to work with and makes removing and replacing trash bags easy. Finally, it looks amazing! I never thought that my kitchen decor would be improved by a trash can, but this one did it. It it perfect? Close. There are a couple of things that could be improved. The lid-locking sliding button on my unit cannot be put into place by opening the lid all the way with the pedal and then sliding it into the locking position. I found that I have to slightly push the lid backward for the sliding lock to go fully into place. Then when the pedal is released, the lid stays fully out of the way when trash bags are removed and replaced. I also found that traditional trash bags from the store cannot fit onto the inner trash can without seriously stretching them. It takes some muscle. It means that children and the elderly may not be able to change the trash bag if using typical tall kitchen trash bags. I took the easy way out of this situation by ordering trash bags specifically for the trash can from the manufacturer (simplehuman). Because there are quite a few of the sample bags sent with the trash can, it took me weeks to run out of them. I found them to be quite superior to everyday trash bags because they are folded and not rolled, very easy to open and use, and they appear to be more durable than conventional trash bags. I am very satisfied with the trash bags and especially the trash can. This product is clearly more expensive than other trash cans, but it is very worth the cost and quite stylish. It may be one of the only utilitarian items in your kitchen that you frequently get compliments on.

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!)
