simplehuman 46L (30/16) Rectangular Recycling Double Kitchen Pedal Bin, Strong Steel Pedal, Silent Soft Close Lid, Inner Buckets, Built-In Wheels, Fingerprint-Proof, Brushed Stainless Steel CW1830

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.

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.

Pedal bin as it described. Used for four years and it's really good, beautiful outlook and user friendly.

It's been working very well for years! It's a bit on pricey angle, but definitely worth

Already have the duel bin in this style which we have had for a number of years. Excellent quality. The new bin is just as good. It might be a bit more expensive but you only need to buy once. The pedal and lid are very robust and of high quality as the internal bin.

I first had one of these bins about 20 years ago and up till a few days ago it worked perfectly. It still does sort of, but the metal poles for the soft close are a bit lose and keep coming loose. The bin arrived sooner than stated and exactly the same as my previous one so A* as I love this bin. No installation as already fully assembled. A pack of bags also enclosed as a freebie which is good too. If you are prepared to pay a bit more for a bin, it's well worth the investment.
