Brabantia 119644 Kitchen Bin, Steel, Mineral Golden Beach, 40 L

This a a brilliant bin. It sits flat against the wall and takes up the minimum space but is wide emough for scraping plates and tipping scraps off chopping boards. It doesn’t go for walks across the floor either like my old small round Brabantia pedal bin. The smells are well sealed in, and no more clanky lid!It’s easy to move using the fabric type handle at the back.I struggled to work out how to prop the bin half way for bag changing. You just lift and push it tothe back. The bin bags fit well (it came with three or four). It is worth buying the Brabantia bags as they are stronger than most, and are an ok price if you bulk buy on Amazon.We bought the 30l in mineral blue. The size is just right, big enough to last 2/3 days but not so big that it gets left too long and goes really smelly and foul. A good height for opening and getting rubbish without bits scattering on the floor. My disabled partner finds it much easier to use than our old one.The mineral blue is very dark, more akin to a blue black, but my kitchen is gloomy, .the colour may show more in a lovely bright kitchen.Expensive but since my small Brabantia bin lasted twenty odd years, I’m sure this one will do the same.

The problem that we had was that my wife wanted a bin sitting back in shallow recess. Standard bins wasted the space in the recess and stuck out. This one sits back ... it's like only the front half of the bin is there and the back half has been removed to leave the part sitting against the wall almost flat. It's like you've half a bin ... but it fits against the wall and that's the important thing.Then there's bin bags. It can take standard bin bags, but they just don't look right. You've got a nice bin with a bin bag hanging out at the top. The bespoke bin bags (that you get a few free with the bin to tempt you) fit snugly withing the bin and don't show on the outside. And, now that you've used the free ones, you'll want to stick with those bin bags. You have to buy those in bulk. A single roll of these bags costs too much per bag. Buy them in bulk (which you can on Amazon) and they come down to "well, that's a bit pricey, but I am paying for a bag that doesn't hang outside the bin".Pros: it does sit back against the wall.Cons: it feels like it's half a bin and needs emptied almost every day. You need to buy bespoke bin bags in bulk.

Does what it says on the tin - definitely worth the money. This is a great addition to our typically small London flat - no more dings in the paint where the bin lid has sprung back, hurrah! The Brabantia bags it came with (3) fitted comfortably, however, the additional Brabantia bags I bought (same size) are a fraction tighter. They do still fit, it just takes a little more time to ease them on.The 'stay open' feature on the lid is super handy when I'm cooking dinner, throwing lots of little bits away. The handles on the sides make it super easy to pull the inner bin out and the perforation holes at the top of the back (and bottom of the inner bin) ensure that the bag doesn't suction to the inner bin and so it's much easier to get the full bag out.Would buy again.

Beautiful. I can't believe I'm saying that a bin is beautiful, but it such an elegant shape. It fits neatly against my kitchen cabinets due to the flat back. It closes silently. It has a net black fabric handle for moving the bin around, which seems to be well balanced because even when the bin is full I can move it easily. The pedal is a sort of matt metal which doesn't show marks straight away.I bought the Brabantia size G bags which fit perfectly. The bin has green handles (coloured codes to match the bag size, I understand), which make lifting the inner container out to replace the bag a doddle. You can prop up the lid by hand when changing bags. I also bought the Brabantia 'perfume your bin' air freshener, which you stick to the lid. So far every thing works beautifully together. Well thought out, Brabantia!

Great bin. So easy to keep clean. Need to use specific bags but they aren't too expensive as bulk buy on Amazon. Well worth the money

Brabantia are the Rolls Royce of bins, or so I've been told.What I liked about it is that it's an excellent design, really well built, and has a bucket inside that you can pull out with all your rubbish in and transport to the wheelie bin outside, then take the bag out of the bucket there. Never worry about a split binbag again! The lid is robust and satisfying to open and close.The downsides: you really should use the right binbags. Brabantia sell them, they have drawstrings, and are awesomes, but there are "compatible" ones too. Similar deal... cheaper. I mean, you can just use regular binbags, but they need a bit more effort to place and fold over the top of the bucket thing, lest they pop out of the sides of the bin (around the lid) once you've put the top back on.But put it this way. Look around in shops, nurseies, offices. They use Branbantia bins like this. Why? Durable, reliable, easily cleaned: a good product.

My mum told me that I should buy this Bin as it is nice and solid and comes with 10 year guarantee,Bin is easy to clean as the inside bucket can be removed.Delivery was a day later than was told, apparently the driver couldn't find my house, yet he found it no problem the day he delivered

A very nice,sturdy bin takes up a lot less space than we expected, the handles for lifting inner bin out is a godsend so no more spillages. Overall we give it 5 out of 5 😊😊😊.
