30L Kitchen Touch Bin New (Matt Steel Fingerprint Proof) Removable Lid, Soft-Touch Open, Easy Clean Rubbish Waste Bin + Bin Bags

Great bin. Thought it would be too bit, but it fits perfectly in my kitchen. Design is very good. Easy access, you can take out bin to pop a bag in, which also fits perfectly. It is touch lid, which suits me very well, as the other was a, press the foot at the bottom, which had discoloured after about 18 years, (that was also a Brabantia). Lasted so well. I would recommend to every one. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for, and I know this will last at least 10 years. I was also lucky enough to buy in the sales. Love it Brabantial!

Brilliant bin as expected. you get what you pay for and this is defo worth a little extra for the quality and style

I bought this for our new kitchen and it looks really nice. It’s easy to use, just press the lid and it pops open. Good stability and easy to remove the rubbish bag. Our last Brabantia bin is still going strong 16 years later and I think this one will match that.

We've had an excellent 60L Brabantia soft-touch bin since 2008, but after a kitchen-redo in 2018 its new location made it a bit of a nuisance as it's so big. Well, the spring on the lid snapped a few weeks' back and rather than try and source a replacement we decided 12 years was a good run and it felt like a good opportunity to downsize it the 40L (it might be misdescribed on Amazon as being 30L for some reason, so note this review is for the flat-backed 40L, not the all-round 30L), which is a little wider, but is shallower and has a flat back to go against a wall. On those grounds, it absolutely does the job, and indeed has a real benefit over the 60L (and the 30L) is being wider, sliding waste off cutting boards is so much easier, nothing goes on the floor ;) . And despite our slight fear about the downsizing in volume, 40L it turns out is still more than enough for a week, maybe sometimes even a little more, of kitchen waste for a couple of people. There are a couple of downsides. We don't think the soft-touch lid mechanism is anywhere near as good as the quality on our old 60L's lid, which was excellent (well, up until the point it suddenly wasn't, but that was after 12 years!). This rattles a little, and isn't as "soft". And we know it's not a one-off as we've actually had two, and the lid behaviour was identical on both. The first bin we were sent was unstable and rocked around while opening it. On investigating it (pictured) it turned out that the plastic base insert hadn't been attached properly and there was no way to reattach it, it was totally out of shape. We ordered a replacement and in that one it was fitted correctly, so we're pretty happy with it now: it's the right size for the position it's in, it's rock solid stable on the floor like the old one. It just seems there are some QA and cost-cutting issues at the factory, as shown by the broken base and cheaper-feeling lid. These are very expensive bins; one can accept the base was just a factory error, the lid feels a little more intentional. The broken bin was sent back and has been refunded with no issues. So we do recommend them, but check thoroughly and get it replaced if you find it's got anything that feels wrong.

I am never disappointed with brabantia. It lasts and is good quality and my old bin had to go because the plastic mechanism in the closing flap broke but for that it could serve couple of more years. This one is slightly shorter which I was not initially happy with but I got use to. However, I liked the new shape of the lid, the fact that there is not metal handles on it and the bin is also a bit wider. Overall, 5 stars.

Good quality, well made.

Shiny, clean and fabulous. Love the touch lid. Easy to use and move around (Just a couple of years later may I ask customer services?! - the bin is just as lovely BUT: can I buy or be given a replacement lid as I accidentally dropped mine and it scuffed!!) thanks let me know…

Goods arrived damaged and unusable, packaging also damaged. All returned for refund, same product bought elsewhere. We did notice the newer version of this bin is now more flimsy and thinner that the one we bought 8 years ago. Cost cutting and profiteering may be an explanation?

Ok

Supposedly a damaged version, so $100 cheaper than the regular price, but it was darn perfect, and after all, it's a bin

tres bonne qualité comme toujours chez brabantia

I really like it it looks very sleek and good for kitchen

The size is great. I like that it is stainless steel that is fingerprint proof
