Good product

Excellent product. I have 3 of these inside a kitchen cupboard, use them for general waste, paper, and glass and plastic recycling. Easy to pick them up and carry out to rubbish bin to empty.

We have had a 6L kitchen food waste caddy in a cupboard near the sink. That meant you either had to take the caddy out to put waste into it or reach into the cupboard lift the lid and hope you don't get too much food in the cupboard. I wanted to find a suitable shelf to go on the back of the cupboard door to put the caddy on but I couldn't see anything ideal so I started to look for a caddy with a mounting bracket. This seemed to fit the bill and wasn't too expensive so I decided to try it.The shape isn't the same as the local authority food caddies being less deep and wider round the perimeter. I have always thought the standard caddy liners weren't deep enough and were too wide so they tended to slip off the caddy, so I tried my existing ones on this and they seem perfect. The lid is on a frame that you can lift off, fit the liner so it just comes over the rim and then put the frame back on to hold the liner in place. You do get 10 purpose-designed liners, but I don't think it will be necessary to get special ones in future.The bracket was fairly easy to fit onto the back of the door using the screws provided. It's supposed to be for wall fitting but I think you would want wall plugs if you were going to do that. It's easy to put the caddy on and off the bracket and the whole thing seems as secure as my fittings ever are. The handle doesn't lock the lid, I'm pleased to say. That would have been awkward and I can see no reason for it on a caddy that is used only indoors.I should say that the instructions do warn against what I have done because of the risk that the weight could distort the door. I think my cupboard doors are quite sturdy so I'm hoping there won't be a problem. The caddy now swings out with the door, the lid stays up when you lift it and it's easy to get food into it, especially with the wider top. I'm happy.

Love this bin! I ordered 2 x the largest size (one for general waste, one for recycling) and it came with complementary bin bags from BarBantia. For the first time ever, the bin bags fit the bin properly! No more messiness when removing the bin bag, no leakage into the bin itself. The lid shuts completely and traps odour in effectively. They fit perfectly behind my kitchen door out of sight. The handles make it easy to carry and the shape of the lids enable stacking which makes it space saving. I thought the bin might be too small for a family of 5 but I find because the bags fit perfectly, the space is maximised and we only need to empty the bin once every 4-5 days.

I'm very happy with my lovely 12L Brabantia bin so I can collect food waste in the kitchen without having to empty it so frequently like we do with the typical smaller bins.It came with 3 liners but unfortunately they were not compostable. I then ordered Brabantia's compostable liners which are very expensive at around 65p each. They didn't have any draw strings or handles to help extract and tie them up which was surprising given the premium cost. Surely someone makes an alternative compostable liner with handles for less money?The bin is an unusual size (quite tall) so I initially struggled to find alternative bags/liners from 3rd parties. After a lot of research on Amazon I found perfectly fitting, compostable liners with handles at nearly 1/3 of the price. They're from BIOvative and cost 22p each. They're sold as 10L but actually fit the bin perfectly. Make sure you get the "with handle" version as there's an identical looking one without handles. Search Amazon for the product ID B077X2P7P7. (Unfortunately they're unavailable right now on 15 Jun 2020 but I hope they get more stock soon.)If you found this helpful please click the Helpful button. I have no connection with any company mentioned, I just want to share what I found after spending hours of time researching.

Short review:If you're looking for a small kitchen bin this is perfect for you.Long review:This bin is great, I was looking for a replacement for an IKEA bin that was poorly designed with too many surfaces on the inside of the lid and an annoying inset ridge that kept gunking up! This bin is great, there are minimal surfaces to clean, no gaps or channels for crumbs and gunk to build up in and the lid seals really well when it's closed (keeping smells contained).The hinge feels really strong and the lid is easily removed or opened. The carry handle is also super useful.Material wise it's also great with a slightly textured finish that doesn't accumulate dirt and wipes clean easily.It's a truly great bin with a 10 year warranty!
