## Description

From the brand Shop Bins Shop Custom Fit Liners Shop Kitchen Shop Bath

Review: High quality, designed thoughtfully - 40L Rectangular Touch-Bar Kitchen Bin - Well made, and lots of attention to detail. I am very happy with this bin. When I was choosing a bin, I asked myself several questions to make sure I was making the right decision, and this bin ticked all the boxes. One of my main concerns was the moving parts and how likely they were to break, how much maintenance they needed, and how much stress they put on the bag and the mechanism itself. The bin has two hinges where the lid attaches and a spring-loaded mechanism. The lid is held down by a clip attached to the "touch bar," and all of the moving parts do not touch the bin liner. The mechanisms are all well-built, and it's unlikely that the contents from the bin will get close to any important mechanisms. Therefore, I don't think the moving parts will break easily, and they don't put any stress on the bag or mechanism. All of the moving parts are contained in the lid piece, so it should be easy to replace if it does break. I was also concerned about whether the bin's interior was smooth enough to allow recycling items without using a bag. The inner bin insert is smooth and has no sharp edges, and I've been able to use it without a bag for clean recycling. However, you can still use a bag if you want to avoid the hassle of cleaning the inert every few weeks. Another concern was whether the bin itself was easy to clean. The external stainless steel finish is very easy to keep clean, and any stains or scratches can be easily fixed. The bin's bag holder is easy to remove, and there are no sharp or angled edges that could damage the bag. There are also air gaps in the internal space to allow for easy bag insertion and removal, and the ledge in the insert makes it convenient to prop up the inner bin to remove and replace the bag. I also wanted to make sure there were no "nooks and crannies" that would be hard to clean, and thankfully, all areas that will need regular cleaning are easily accessible. The lid fits very securely, and no odours have escaped. There are no extra gimmick features like carbon filters or UV light, but the tight-fitting lid is enough for me. The bin also has an embedded handle on the back, which makes it easy to move around, and the touch bar is very easy to clean, so I don't think it will get gross over time. Overall, I highly recommend the simplehuman CW2014 40L Rectangular Touch-Bar Kitchen Bin. It's well-built, easy to use, and easy to clean.
Review: Expensive but relative to the quality, functionality and appearance of cheaper bins, worth it - I had my old plastic roll top bin for decades. One day I wondered why I continued to put up with its small capacity, its ugliness, and a lid that had a viscious mind of its own. I wash shocked at how expensive bins had become but decided to treat myself to one that seemed to be just the ticket for about £50. Luckily I saw it in real life and new its plastic flimsiness would soon disappoint. The shop had a small SimpleHuman bin on display as well and I knew I had to have its 40 litre big brother. It is a thing of beauty and very practical. It is sturdy, goes flat against the wall and the lid opens near enough to 90 degrees making it easy to fill. The fact that the lid stays open until you close it I find very useful. I had no trouble using my cheap bin liners. Taking it out of the box and setting it up has not left any fingerprints. I never thought I would spend so much money on a kitchen bin. It has a 10 year guarantee. I think it was worth it for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 40 litre simplehuman bin
*by M***H on 7 February 2026*

Excellent bin! I'm so pleased with it! I got a 40 litre one, & its great for holding so much rubbish & keeping it compact in the drum. I had a Barantine steel one for 20 years, but the lid broke. So after reading the reviews on the Simplehuman one, I decided to choose one of them. I feel my new one will be a hard wearing bin & just as good by the way its made. Quality! Plus...it looks so stylish in my kitchen. I would definitely recommend 👌
