Brabantia Bo Touch Bin 11/23L White

Exactly what we were looking for. Fit perfectly between kitchen and dining room. The only concern I have is with the bags that fit this can. The original, that came with can is for garbage as it white color. We using this for recycle, so we need clear or blue. Unfortunately company does not offer these. Also the available bags ere very expensive for taking garbage. After spending over $100 on different bags (due to unusually shape of this can) I was able to find substitute clear bags. So would I buy this again, no. But since I already bought it, I will enjoy it until it last.

I am so happy with the purchase! I was very reluctant to buy this top touch trash can because of the cost, but because the trash can would be placed in our kitchen/family room in plain view, I didn’t want a traditional looking one. This one is beautiful, easy to assemble, and easy to use. Our family likes that we can remove the top quickly to take out the trash bag easily. It seems very sturdy but there are only adults in my household, no children or pets. Expensive purchase but we’ll worth it for me.

If all you want is a garbage can then you don't need this. If you are like me and believe that nothing should just be utilitarian; everything you use should have style; this is for you! Perfect for Modern/MCM styled homes. Pricey yes but for me worth every penny. Only negative is that bags are expensive.

A stylish and functiona,l quality, recycling bin

This product was obtained without charge, as subject to the John Lewis panel reviewer programme.This review is a true account of my product use and views.From the moment that you open the box you can immediately see that the bin is a stylish, functional and of quality design. I would rarely use the word 'statement piece' when describing a bin, but due to its raised and curved design it truly looks super and would grace most settings well. From kitchen to work office.The main bin body easily attached to the four legs. Both the body and the legs are made of very strong plastic and feels solid once erected. The legs initially looked too thin for purpose but dont be put off by this, as once slot into place the whole item is sleek, strong and easy to move too.The lid ... MoreThis product was obtained without charge, as subject to the John Lewis panel reviewer programme.This review is a true account of my product use and views.From the moment that you open the box you can immediately see that the bin is a stylish, functional and of quality design.

The legs initially looked too thin for purpose but dont be put off by this, as once slot into place the whole item is sleek, strong and easy to move too.The lid has an easy fingertip touch (front,centre) lid which comes into its own when you are trying to juggle several items to go in the bin.Their are two clear, partitioned sections , One being much larger than the other in size. We used the larger section for our plastics,card and paper and the small section for other non recycling items.You are provided with the bin bags for both sections. These are easily purchaseable when you run out.When it comes to emptying each section. This is an easy affair. You first lift the lid off, then place your fingers into an indentation on either side of the section which you remove. It is here that i dropped a star and gave an overall rating of 4 out of the 5. As a thin wire handle would have been handy for when transporting the section to your outside bin. I have arthritis in my hands so although I can do, it could be made easier.On a plus note due to the bins mid-height, as a wheelchair user, I am finding the bins size and height excellent for me. It is also good if you have fur-babies whom like bins as they will not be able to access !I would definitely recommend this excellent product. I wish I had found it earlier.

Fantastic Bo!

What a great product this is!It's really quick and easy to assemble (it took me about 5 minutes and comes with simple to follow instructions) and you can adjust the feet if necessary so it stands level.Once assembled, it has 2 compartments, one is about a third of the bin, the other is about two-thirds. Each compartment has a black plastic bin within it. The lid slots on top and you just press the top to open and close the lid - unlike some "soft touch lids", this one works well.It comes with a starter pack of bags to line the bins, but we're not actually using them as we're just using Bo for recycling, not general waste.We put paper recycling in the small bin and cans/bottles etc. in the larger bin, then when they need emptying, all you need to do is lift ... MoreWhat a great product this is!It's really quick and easy to assemble (it took me about 5 minutes and comes with simple to follow instructions) and you can adjust the feet if necessary so it stands level.Once assembled, it has 2 compartments, one is about a third of the bin, the other is about two-thirds.

The bins have a large enough capacity that you're not having to empty them every day.I think my only criticism would be that ideally it would be easier if you could lift out the individual bins without having to remove the lid, but it's not a big issue..Not only is the bin really practical, but it looks great too (never thought I'd be complimenting a bin on its looks!) - it's really modern with its gloss finish and comes in various different colours to suit your décor. It sits flat against the wall and the legs mean it's at a sensible height,Overall, I absolutely love this product - it's perfect for our recycling (both in terms of its size and functionality) and fits really neatly in the space we have available. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Fantastic stylish bin

This is an expensive bin but worth every penny. It is easy to clean, exceptionally stylish and holds a lot of rubbish without it ever getting smelly. The brabantia bags are great as well and i like that you got aa small amount of bags free to get you going. I was skeptical of spending so much money on a bin but i would not swap it for another.

GREAT STYLE

I recently bought this bin to fit with a kitchen makeover where cream is my key tone to lighten the look. This bin is a great addition. The style is contemporary and fits neatly into my bin space - recommend measuring prior to ordering as it is a chunky piece of furniture!The cream colour is good and looks stylish, even in my more traditional style kitchen. Rather (Brabantia) pricey even though quality is good. I was rather dismayed to find that the screw on legs appeared to be light & cheap plastic, not what I would have expected from Brabantia, or for the price paid. Possibly wood, would have fitted better.Great capacity. Although x3 36 lit bags are provided, have found it difficult to source & need to go online to order. Generally very happy with item.

Practical and Contemporary

I'm extremely happy with my Brabantia dual recycling bin. The size is perfect, we're using the big compartment for the general waste and the smaller one for food. It fits nicely in our kitchen and love the design. I was very happy to get the approval from the whole family and compliments from friends. Just what I was looking for!

Practically Perfect

We have had much cheaper cylinder bins for years, and if you squash down the rubbish (like my husband did, always) it makes it very difficult to get the bin bag out. I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard expletives coming from the kitchen (because if he's the one that causes the problem, he can deal with it!) while he's struggling to remove the bag.With him in mind, I did a lot of bin research and decided on this one. Is it expensive? Yes it's very expensive. Is it worth it? It's more than worth it.Its rectangular shape gives you a wide opening to chuck your rubbish in, which is something I never knew I needed, but as it turns out I needed it. It fits most bin bags. It has an inner bucket that you can remove and take outside with the bag in, if you ... MoreWe have had much cheaper cylinder bins for years, and if you squash down the rubbish (like my husband did, always) it makes it very difficult to get the bin bag out.

It has an inner bucket that you can remove and take outside with the bag in, if you want. You can crush the rubbish but because of the shape it doesn't get stuck. The legs lift it up so you don't have to reach down too far to clean spilt nasties, and get yourself covered by nasties in the process. As mentioned, the inner bucket can be removed and taken outside and cleaned or hosed down. The lid fits perfectly on top of the bin bag and traps it in place, no more tucking the bag down the sides or around hinges, no more bag hindering the opening mechanism. It looks good, loads of people have commented on how it almost looks like a piece of furniture.This bin is the best thing since sliced bins, I love it. Worth every penny, it's that good.

Stylish, sleek vibrant red bin

I bought this bin for its lovely bright red colour, slimline design, compartments. The slim legs make it stand out as a feature in a small flat. Nice design/height. Great that you have a choice of inner compartments and can buy/change them to suit if you wish at a later time. Good size as a single person.Easy to separate/hide waste and recycling. Storing bin liners under compartments is a space saving bonus. My favourite Brabantia kitchen bin so far.
