Curver Metal Effect 70% Recycled Kitchen Accessories One Touch Deco Bin, Red, 40 Litre

I really like this bin and have recommended it to friends. However, this one was to replace one I bought about 4 and a half years ago - that old bin itself still looks good, it's good quality plastic, but the catch had got 'floppy' and would not reliably close - rather than frustrate myself with that, I bought a new one and will use the old one for storing something in the garage. They're not expensive and I reckon getting nearly 5 years use with the catch working well, was very good value. It looks good, takes up little space, it's very easy to use and I much prefer it to any other type of lid that I've had.I almost forgot - when I got the new one, the base was broken. I was surprised how easy it was to report that and have it collected and get a refund, with which I then ordered another one.

I recently purchased the Curver Metal Effect 70% Recycled Kitchen One Touch Deco Bin in Black, 40 Litre, and while I'm generally satisfied with its performance, there are a few drawbacks worth mentioning.Let's start with the positives. First and foremost, the design of this bin is fantastic. Its sleek black metal effect adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen, and the 40-litre capacity is perfect for my household's needs. The one-touch opening mechanism is convenient and hygienic, allowing for easy disposal of waste without having to touch the lid.However, the lid locking mechanism leaves something to be desired. Despite its claim of a "one-touch" operation, I've found that the lid doesn't always stay securely closed. It has a tendency to pop open unexpectedly, which can be frustrating, especially if there's any odor-sensitive waste inside. I've had to resort to pressing down firmly on the lid multiple times to ensure it stays closed, which somewhat defeats the purpose of the supposed ease of use.That being said, despite this issue, the bin still serves its primary purpose effectively. It contains odors well, and the 70% recycled material construction aligns with my commitment to sustainability. Plus, the generous 40-litre capacity means fewer trips to empty the bin, which is always a plus.In conclusion, while the Curver Metal Effect Kitchen Bin has its flaws, particularly with its lid locking mechanism, it still offers a stylish and functional solution for managing household waste. If the manufacturer could address the issue with the lid, it would undoubtedly earn a higher rating from me. But for now, it's a decent option that gets the job done.

We'd had an identical Curver bin for years and were very happy with it. After moving house we decided to get a new one in smart black, thinking we'd be just as happy. But... after about a month of use the lid started to become harder and harder to open - and when it did open, it became harder and harder to close! The bin has been redesigned since our original one, and now the catch is dreadful. In the end the lid just stayed open, refusing to catch and hold shut. As it had been over 30 days since the purchase I went direct to Curver giving them the details and asking for a refund. They responded telling me they don't carry spares. I told them I don't want a spare thank you, I want a refund. They again told me they don't offer spares (brilliant, now I know they definitely DON'T offer spares), and asked for more details. I gave them the same details again. Then they asked me for a photo. I sent them a photo of the bin wide open. Then they said we'll give you a refund, it'll be with you within 10 working days. (The speed of this email communication was so slow it took literally days to get to this point.) Two weeks go by, no refund. I contacted them about 3-4 times wanting to know where my refund was with no response. I decided to reach out to Amazon instead, explained the situation, and they were brilliant - had a full refund processed straight away. So the moral of the story is: Don't ever buy from Curver, certainly don't get one of these stupid 'One Touch Deco' bins because they're appallingly made, and if you do either of those things despite my advice, be prepared for a long wait and very bad service from their 'customer service' department. We've now got a very nice, fully working, bin from Tower and the Curver one is in landfill sadly. No excuse for such a shoddy item, and certainly no excuse for such shoddy service from Curver.

Bought 2 of these at the same time, 1 of them OK, thethe the lid will not close, very poor catch.

Lid is broken

The Kitchen bin is good for the money, however the lid comes back up after closing, and you have to repeatedly keep pressing the top for it to close. good value for money but there are others on amazon where you may not have this problem.

Very stylish

Surprised how good it is after a little fiddle with the latch. It works well an seals the smells in

Es un cubo doble, muy cómodo y parece de material duradero. Al principio el compartimento pequeño me parecía demasiado pequeño pero para la basura organica es perfecto.Las bolsas se sujetan bien

J’avais besoin d’une poubelle de qualité et robuste pour la cuisine. Très satisfaite du produit acheté !!

Qualität und Preis stimmenZu weiteren Empfehlungen!

Era justo lo que iba buscando! Hay muy poquitos cubos de basura de este tipo que se puedan abrir tocando la tapa con un dedo y a un buen precio. Y encima con un diseño de este tipo. Lo recomiendo!!

Ein schlichtes Design und fügt sich gut in der Küche ein.Preis ist in Ordnung und der Mülleimer erfüllt seinen Zweck.
