Brabantia Touch Bin, 2 Gal / 10L, Matte Finger Print Proof

Love having the trash up off the floor in the bathroom. It was easy to mount and has more storage capacity that I originally thought.

POSTSCRIPT TO ORIGINAL REVIEW Unfortunately, there seems to be a design issue with the catch. Not long after receiving these bins and starting to use them, the catch on one bin started to "catch" (resulting in closed bin not opening, or open bin not closing). Unfortunately, the catch is located at the front edge of the inner bin tub; no matter how careful we all are seems to collect every drop/crumb and jams (and needs to be cleaned repeatedly, then dried well before it will work again... all a bit fussy for a Brabantia... which in the past we always found to be robust). We are all also super careful to gently open/close the lid, as it seems so fragile. The other bin soon followed suit. Have not had a chance to write to manufacturer yet, but will need to - as this fault/design weakness makes the bins unusable. In all other senses love these bins, just unfortunate that the design of the closure is not better. Hoping that will be able to have a positive outcome :) ------------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW This product is neat and tidy, but not exceptional. Would however recommend it to others. 1. Finish/material The finish is not ideal - would have preferred one of Brabantia's colour-finishes.. however they only make this product in the silver (and it is their only 10L rectangle bin). The reason: have had Brabantia silver bins before, despite all promises none of them are fingerprint proof, they all get much grubbier then their coloured equivalents (our white one is great, in terms of surface finish it far outperforms the silver finish). 2. Style/range Would love to see a much larger range of 10L (and smaller) good quality bins on the market* :) Expecially rectangle ones like this, that fit better into many spaces of the home. * In addition, of the small range available - only a subset can be purchased by Australian residents (eg. many items on Amazon that can't be shipped to Australia); which is a shame. 3. Usage/function We have two of these - one for garbabe, one for recycling (for our kitchen). (With a little bit of messing about) can manage to get supermarket/grocery bags to fit inside as the bin liners (with no overhang visible) for the garbage bin. You can of course get Brabantia's own bin liners, if you wish to add the expense etc of those. The new bins come with a sample pack of the (standard) liners; an improvement would be if Brabantia included a sample pack of liners (ie. some of the standard liners, some of the compostable liners) for new owners to test. 4. Summary Overall, the bin is neat enough, and does the job. In future however we would prefer to find something with better quality finishing, and that was not in silver (and if possible had better mounting, mechanism, etc design; but retain the small capacity, and rectangular form). Would recommend it for anyone wishing to find something as a quick solution.

My wife bought the smaller compost version and the larger kitchen trash version. These products are expensive but the kitchen size has been flawless since we purchased it and it opens easily all of the time. The smaller version has a finicky latch and sometimes won't open or close. We think the problem is when it gets wet. When we empty the can we usually wash it out and it is then that the latch doesn't work, the next time you use it it starts working again. It took two e-mails to the seller to get a response (if you price your product as brabantia does you should have excellent customer service) I think it was 3 to 4 weeks from my initial e-mail that I finally got a response and when I did get the response they were quick to send me a new lid.

The main disappointment is that it is not air tight. The smells of the compost material permeated the kitchen. The ECO-2000 that replaced it, is doing very nicely. Joseph

Nice quality, a little loose on the wall mount... But it is only a bin... so I don't really have that much of expectations!!

Its looks and operation met my expectations. If it were a bit less expensive I would give it 5 stars.

È troppo definire una pattumiera un oggetto di design? In questo caso forse no, dato che è oggettivamente molto bella e ben fatta oltre che pratica. Vengono forniti anche 3 sacchi su misura e le viti per un eventuale fissaggio a muro. Unico neo: la parte superiore (che si può installare anche nel verso opposto) non si incastra saldamente alla parte inferiore, ma è semplicemente appoggiata. Servizio di consegna di Amazon ineccepibile: consegna in 24 ore e se ci sono problemi (danneggiamenti della merce) vengono automaticamente risolti.

Papelera con acabados de alta calidad,aunque su precio original de más de 90€ es excesivo, yo lo compre por 51€ y es bastante más justo. Ideal para cualquier tipo de baño, ya que estéticamente queda bien con cualquier decoración, el tamaño es ideal para una vivienda de unos 4 habitantes y la tapadera de click es muy práctica ya que te permite ponerlo en cualquier ubicación, ajustando la altura con el enganche opcional para pared.la capacidad es de 10 l y viene con 3 bolsas de regalo, k una vez puestas queda completamente tapada con la tapa. Yo la compré para cambiarla por una de pedal que tenía y el cambio ha sido efecto, tanto por la capacidad como por a comodidad y que en la ubicación donde la tengo era un engorro meter el pie para activar el pedal.

Petit poubelle 10l sympa et beaucoup plus robuste et volumineuse que certaines poubelles plastiques de salle de bain ! Il faut aimer le design métallique mais sinon les clés du succès sont là ! Robuste, volumineuse, couvercle touch qui ferme bien, design agréable et même possibilité de l'accrocher au mur ! Seul le prix (propre à tous les produits Brabantia) vient entacher tout ces points positifs ... quasi 100€ !!! Quand une poubelle de même marque et caractéristiques de 50-60l en vaut environ 120€ on peut se poser des questions !!! Non vraiment, achetés 60€ en seconde main, j'ai toujours l'impression de m'être fait spoiler ! On parle d'une poubelle .... de 10l !!! La marque Brabantia devrait revenir sur terre un peu avec leurs tarifs prohibitifs (je comprend qu'un certain degré de qualité se paye, mais là, trop c'est trop !!!).

Pricey, but very very worth it. Have had it for about 8 months and having such a substantially-made and good-looking bit of kit beside the sink in the kitchen, which opens/closes by a tap on the lid, makes all the difference. As other reviewers have noted, some of us have had lid problems: essentially the fastening-clip doesn't seem to work if it's the slightest bit wet. I emailed Brabantia who sent another lid by return of post almost, so I have one-on and one-in-the-wash (or drying). Or there is a guy on you-tube who solved the problem by drilling (small) air-holes - if you're up to a bit of DIY. The only other thing to say is that you are better to buy oversize bags (swing lid size), but that applies to many bins! And It has made such a huge difference to cooking and washing-up that it's worth 5 stars if you solve the lid problem (which of course may not apply to YOUR purchase in the first place...)

Prachtig design en sterk kwalitatief product. Een sterke aanrader.
