simplehuman CW2023 55L Rectangular Kitchen Pedal Bin with Liner Pocket, Silent Soft Close Lid, Strong Wide Pedal, Fingerprint-Proof, Brushed Stainless Steel, W 47.0cm x H 65.5cm x D 36.0cm

Like some other reviewers, I never thought I'd be reviewing a bin but.... I gave in and splurged out on an expensive bin for the kitchen, the place where a bin gets used most often. I have an engineering background so understood better design, engineering and materials cost more but was always reluctant for a bin of such expense until I had enough of buy cheaper to medium priced ones that would last around a year or two, that would start fail before that and basically I'd keep using them whilst broken or misfunctioning with sheer frustration but not this time. Many of the people I knew either had Brabantia, which can cost a lot too, of good quality but I didn't like the designs and function, it didnt work for me but I knew why they cost so much. They worked, worked well. I wanted function and form and this model fits perfectly, literally. I wanted a rectangular to square shape as it's more efficient and would fit better under our kitchen space, under the countertop space. Had to be foot operated, which I see as more hygienic and functional when both hands are full. The wide foot pedal is a delight, doesn't require too much pressure and the soft close is great, altogether a different mechanism to all the pedal bins I've had (several in a few years). The weight, although slighly light with a slight wobble at first, it doesnt slide about on the quarry tiled floor as the rubber feeted base grips and over time when it stats to fill up theres no wobble at all. The design is classy and chic, with a nice matt sheen, quality stainless steel body and truly fits the part. I'm not going to say it's life changing but I feel assured it will last several years easily, with the company standing behind it with a 10 year guarantee, that to me is worth the cost in the grand scheme of things. Enough said.

So easy to use, feels strong,looks elegant.

Love the shape and style very attractive bin good quality Expensive but worth it

Great quality item and well made. Looks great in the kitchen.

This wastebin is an excellent product, well made and sturdy. Really pleased that we selected this item an would recommend it highly.

I think Superhuman bins are a cut above the rest. I ordered 45L and the size is perfect. Love the bag storage department at the inside back of bin. A bit pricey, but study and worth the cost. Bags strong and perfect size. Pleased with my purchase

Nice bin, cleans easily. I like the pocket at the bag to hold the bags. The odour control bit isn’t great but you can’t have everything. Nice size foot pedal with a smooth open and close

Very well thought out with the neat lid design and integrated holder for spare bags. The refill liners always fit well and are strong, The bin is superb quality and the wide design minimises spillages. Expensive but very high quality.
