SONGMICS Double Rubbish Bin, 2 x 20 L Kitchen Bin, Dual Compartment Metal Step Bin, with Plastic Inner Buckets, Soft-Close Lids, and Handles, Odour Seal, Silver LTB40NL

It’s sturdy and well made A little expensive but happy with it as it’s with twin bin to keep my recycling and everyday rubbish in one

I like the bin, it's well-built and goes with our white kitchen units. I particularly like the two side handles that allow it to be picked up easily. After several weeks I have now worked out how to make the lid stay up on its own - you have to push the black piece inside in the middle (the pedal mechanism) so that the pin slots into the plastic groove. I don't really like the indentation down the middle of the front and top of the metal, it spoils the smooth lines for me. The main problem is that the dimensions given are incorrect and don't seem to have taken into account the pedal and the bit sticking out behind the lid, which add a few extra centimetres. That makes it intrude too much in my kitchen. And it DOES slip on the floor and eventually marks the wall behind the lid mechanism, so it has to be repositioned every few days (easy with the side handles).

The quality of product is good and the price is reasonable.

A well made and solid waste bin with two separate large size waste bins. Only snag and its minor is there is no provision to tuck in a waste bag inside each bin.

Very high quality stainless steel finish that is brushed so resists fingerprints. Soft close has very nice solid action too. The foot pedal is very sturdy & wide so easy to use. Be wary of the capacity of the two separate compartments, as the bin itself looks quite large, but the plastic bins inside are not that big (tall, but very narrow). We have to empty the bins very often due to small capacity. Also, there is no way to secure the bin liners which makes it tricky to replace the liners without them hanging over the sides which kinda ruins the sleek looks! I ended up using some lengths of elasticated rope to hold the bin liners down, but otherwise no complaints!

This is just perfect for us. It’s not too big, yet allows us to separate rubbish and recycling easily. It contains enough for us not to have to keep emptying it. We’re only two, but retired, so home a lot, ( especially recently!) and the capacity is fine for us. It’s smart looking, and so far has been easy to keep clean. The only downside is that the inner bins fit very snugly, (which is what you want so nothing gets between the inner and outer bins. ) However, this can make it a little difficult to manoeuvre the inner bins in and out, especially with a bin bag. I guess it’s something we’ll get used to. For now, I’m well-pleased!

Nice

Was looking for a heavy duty bin to replace a plastic pedal bin that an elderly relative was struggling with. The weight of this bin means it doesn't move when the pedal is operated. The two inner bins mean that the waste can be separated at source and the filled bags are still easy for a gentleman of 80+ years to handle.He has used the bin for six months now and is still very impressed. He says it is easy to use and clean and feels that it looks very stylish in his open plan kitchen.
