Amazon Basics Rectangular Kitchen Bin With Steel Bar Pedal, Soft-Closing Mechanism For Home and Office Use, 30 litre/7.9 gallon, Satin Nickel Finish

This is the perfect bin for minimalists. It looks sleek and operates well. I would believe you if you told me Jony Ive and Steve Jobs themselves designed it, and you bought it from the Apple Store. Glancing at the bin when I walk past it brings me joy. One downside to the visual is that the bin liner is always visible. It would be improved if there could be a way to hide the bin liner from view, so the sleek look is uninterrupted.The slow closing mechanism really gives it a premium feel that matches its premium-feeling materials and heft. It does not have any extra, unnecessary features. It has a pedal that opens the lid, and an interior bin compartment that can be taken out for practical purposes. It is exactly what it needs to be.I was worried that as a one-person household, the 30L bin would be too small. But it is the perfect size. It took me over a week to fill it up. I think it would be suitable for two people as well.All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and would not hesitate to recommend it.

This bin is good and solid. I like that it has a removable insert, which makes emptying the bin a bit easier. I like that it has a soft/slow close. It's not as big as I thought it would have been or as I would like, but it's okay for my sized kitchen. I'd recommend that if you've got a bigger kitchen or a larger family, I would go for the biggest size they have as with mine it has to be emptied a little more often than I really like. It's good quality, sturdy, good pedal action, and also like it's not overly shining. It's a bit pricey, so I'm hoping that it lasts for a long time. I've also had plastic bins, so I treated myself to this one.

I never knew that buying a kitchen bin was such a minefield! I knew what size I wanted and researched many products from numerous sellers. After reading reviews on this particular item, I was drawn to it, not just because of the price (which was certainly cheaper than others) but because of the reviews. I would agree with the majority of the reviews - the bin does not look cheap (so do not be put off by the amazon basics 'tag'), the shape actually seems to be a space saver versus a normal circular bin, and my view is that it does look good quality and not cheap at all. The lid opens via a foot pedal, and has a slow closing lid, all of which operates well. A bonus point to me versus my old bin is that the inner compartment is plastic so can be easily washed and cleaned (my old bin inner compartment was stainless steel which has corroded over time). I am pleased with this purchase and glad I did not spend £20-£40 more on a branded name.

great item, well made

Neat size for a 30 litre bin and just right for the space I had in my kitchen. Looks good and very easy to keep clean. Foot pedal and soft close means less finger prints all over it and a quick wipe is enough to keep it looking good. The inner plastic bucket liner lifts out easily and has a small hole at the back to keep your trash bag in place. We're a household of 2 and empty it every couple of days but I think we could most likely go a week without emptying it. It would be a good size for a family household of 4 or so emptying it every few days.

For the price this is an excellent kitchen bin plus it looks pretty good as well, plus it's a third of the price of high end brands. The only downside is it does not have any anti slip feet and it moves about on our marble floor when the pedal lift is operated. No problem though I can easily fix that.

Good quality and size

Just the right size for a one person household. Easy to clean, inner bin comes out . Nice brushed steel finish and polished up well.Only downside is it’s rather light so as you use the pedal it moves.Very good value for money.
