Brabantia Bo Touch Bin - 2 x 30L Inner Buckets (White) Large Waste/Recycling Kitchen Bin - Soft-touch

Perfect size for a dual-compartment bin and I chose touch to open as I find pedal mechanisms break over time. The touch mechanism is simple and seems unlikely to fail. The only issue I've had, similar to some other reviewers, is that I had to return this twice due to the product arriving damaged. Poor packaging at Brabantia. Note that you don't need to buy the expensive Brabantia liners. Any 30L liners from the supermarket do the job just as well.

Lovely and very large bin. I bought it for our new kitchen as it was at a reduced price. The shape is very good, rectangular so easy to get almost anything in it and because it holds 60ltrs don't have to change bags as often. It has a very handy internal bin with good handles on each end so that you can lift it out easily to remove bag and add a new one. The touch open lid works well. The Matt finish on the actual bin is very smart looking, I've got the black one. The only downside is that it is expensive considering it is only a bin but I struggled to find a decent bin this size anywhere else. I am very pleased with the purchase however and it looks really nice in the kitchen.

We have been through several types of recycling bin brands and have never been able to completely nail recycling properly. The ones that stack on top of each other have too small an entrance to put bottles and large cardboard into and due to the small footprint, you put two items in and it's almost full.So the solution was to look at Brabantia's 2x 30 litre side by side option. But after owning several brabantia's in the past, there's a couple of problems they have with them: the touch lids always break, the steel option can rust, and if you opt for the painted metal they scratch too easily.I went for a warehouse deal knowing that it would probably be dented. And it was. Too easily dented which indicates two problems: terrible packaging (i.e. a complete lack of packaging) which meant the steel was touching the cardboard box and at the mercy of the couriers who tend to throw them about. Also, I'd wager Brabantia's procurement sourcers have been looking for cheaper steel alternatives making the product more prone to denting.But I'm going to purchase one of those suction pad dent removers to see if it fixes it.I can say the bin has solved our recycling problems. 2 x 30 litres with large access entrances with a one touch lid to open the lot. Now that may bug a few people who may not want to lift the entire lid off just to empty one of the bins. Personally I don't mind because having one big lid makes it look more streamlined.You can buy 30 litre bags from Sainsbury's to fit this bin, so make a saving that way.Is it worth £189? (I got it cheaper in a warehouse deal), no. I guess their rational is that it is two bins combined, but even if you were pair two 30 litre bins, it wouldn't equate to that price. So yes, they are taking advantage of the market there.Also, the warehouse deal bin I received actually had been used; it had rubbish in it...amazing quality control there, Amazon.Anyway, I opted for a pure steel bin this time after my Brabantia painted new icon bin looks like I've owned it for 20 years rather than the 6 months I've owned it.If you go the steel route, get yourself an e-cloth designed to clean steel. It will save you a whole lot of hassle.In summary:_Too expensive_Great design_Solved a recycling problem the other bins didn't_Get 30 litre bags from Sainsbury's_Buy an e-cloth to clean the pure steel bin, avoid the painted bins as they scratch too easily_Wait for it to come on sale because it's likely to arrive dented anyway.Hope this helps.

Four years on and the bin is still going strong - there was an issue with a broken part when it arrived but this was quickly dealt with.I love the simplicy and no batteries to replace, just click and go. I use one side for recycling and one side for general waste and buy the official bags that are made to fit. Perfect size for two or three people - depending on how much waste you generate or how often you empty. Easy to clean the plastic liners.

The bags fit lovely

It came in perfect condition, it looks amazing and the surface is much better than any stainless steel. Love it. A bit expensive but didn’t find any alternative to meet each of my requirements.

Bin arrived damaged with a large dent on the back of it.
