Brabantia 113987 Pedal Bin newIcon with Plastic Inner Bucket, 20 Litre - Brilliant Steel

I'm more or less 100% happy with this bin. Wish I'd spent my money earlier to be honest instead of wasting a tenner at a time for crap plastic bins. My example is perfect and flawless, really nicely finished (platinum colour which matches other items in my kitchen). 30 litres keeps a fair amount of rubbish and the Brabantia bags (which you can get off Amazon for about 15p a go, in packs of 40) seem great. They fit perfectly and are very easy to use. The soft close aspect of the bin is great, as is the inherent hygiene of a foot operated mechanism. The only drawback to me, and this could be described as a bit of a design flaw, is that the lid hinge is external, meaning the lid will bang off the wall if it is placed too closely. I'm going to fix this by putting something behind the bin so it physically can't get too close to the wall. So, a flaw in my eyes but not impossible to resolve. I'm really impressed with this nice, slimline, aesthetically pleasing bin.

Before this I had a very cheap plastic bin with a swing lid that got dirty every time I scraped food off a plate. This bin is great - works perfectly, easy to change the bag, looks very nice, stays clean! I love this bin.

I’ve had Brabantia bins previously & they just last so much longer than cheaper alternatives, & with a soft closing lid it’s just a bit special, so worth paying a little extra.

Overall I am very happy with my new bin. It looks very smart. The white is bright. I got it at a bargain price of £41 but I think it is worth the regular £60 asking price. The only thing I don't like about it is the foot pedal resistance. The lid swings up way too fast and if it is against a wall it often hits the wall. I have to try to lift the lid slowly with a lighter foot press. It is really easy to fit and change bin bags. The lid keeps in all the bin odours and has a brilliant secure fit. It is not silent but is quite quiet, with a muffled sound when it drops. The foot pedal is plastic but seems robust. I like that there is a reminded inside of the binbags required. But I'm still using my leftover 50l Tesco drawstring bags with no problem.

I bought this to replace one which was 30 yrs old, yes, that old! This was the main reason I went for exactly the same make and size. New model does not have an inside handle on the black interior bucket and no handle on the outside metal bucket, enabling safe uplifting, if required. On saying this, the product is still of sturdy quality and would certainly recommend. Not cheap but it is built to last!

Love this bin, very easy to use and clean. I like the way the lid softly closes without a thunk. You get 3 complimentary bags, but unfortunately they don’t fit, so won’t be ordering those. Other than that a very good bin and great value for money.

I love Brabantia bins, I've three already so when I needed another one in my hobby room it was the first choice. To be truthful the old one was working just fine but had no lid so when a new resident came, who thought emptying bins was fun, it was time to buy a lidded bin. Fortunately he hasn't discovered how to open the lid with the pedal although I have discouraged by turning that bit to the wall. They might be a bit more expensive than other bins but they look good and they do last a long time. This one was quite a good price as well.

I really like this bin. It looks nice, it's sturdy and good quality. I needed a small bin for our downstairs loo, as we had a big party coming up with lots of female guests, so I wanted a discreet bin with a lid, that I could put in there for anyone who needed it. It was perfect and fitted comfortably under the sink. I find it easy to change the liner and easy to wipe clean. If I ever needed more small bins, I would go for one of these.

Elegante, resistente, cómodo, ocupa muy poco espacio... Es un producto caro, pero muy bien pagado, porque te falicita la vida desde muchos aspectos: Al ser alto no tienes que agacharte, las bolsas se ponen muy fácil y rápido, cierra bien por lo que no deja lugar a olores, es completamente silencioso ya que tiene un sistema para que se abra y cierre muy despacio... Parece una tontería, pero cuando lo tienes te das cuenta de lo importantre que es invertir en un aparato que usas tantas veces al día. La única pega que se le puede poner es que este tipo de cubos tan estrechos se termina acumulando la basura en el fondo conmucha presión y a veces cuesta sacar la bolsa, por lo que se puede romper... Este problema se arreglaría con las bolsas de Brabantia que ellos mismos venden... La caja trae 5 de regalo para que las pruebes, son muy buenas y resistentes, pero un poco caras. Aquí en Amazon unos 9€, 40 bolsas.

I read all the reviews and was resigned to possibly having to exchange a few times to get one in decent shape, but mine arrived packaged well and in perfect condition. I am so happy! The Moss Green is gorgeous, just like it looks online. The foot pedal works well, very quiet and the soft close is great. I will use waterproof tape to cover the ventilation holes in the liner so that I can use this for recycle without a plastic bag. It won't work for cardboard or big pieces, but for cans and bottles it will be plenty big enough, and that is what I wanted it for. Highly recommend!

Bonito y funcional. Las bolsas de Mercadona encajan muy buen. Sin problemas. En la cocina da un toque de color. Estoy encantado con esta compra. Igualmente producto de calidad. Marca recomendada!!

Tenía otro de la misma marca y este lo mejora, el mecanismo para levantar la tapa no se ve y además lo he escogido en gris oscuro y es perfecto, mucho más limpio que el blanco que tenía.

Poco se puede decir sobre un cubo de basura, salvo que cumple dignamente con su cometido
