Brabantia Bo Touch Bin - 3 x 11 Litre Inner Buckets (Mineral Golden Beach) Waste/Recycling Kitchen Bin with Removable Compartments + Free Bin Bags

My cat tortured and then framed my dog by ripping up the plastic bag which served a v.as a hanging bin. We had tried conventional bins but with underfloor heating the content is cooked before you empty it. Bleurgh. Now the little b lies underneath scrabbling desperately while the dog gawps gormless and guilt free. I love the bin. It's worth every penny to bring endless pop-open joy. No more having to remove the bag whenever you leave the room or being forced to feed the cat or he'll rip the rubbish to the floor. Ha. I win you fuzzy butt bruiser!

Love this bin, so stylish and easy to clean - worth the money in my opinion as actually nice looking! Easy to assemble too :)

I did worry about paying this much for a bin, but most unexpectedly, it's worth it. The bin is so easy to empty, being more vertical than horizontal, that I do wonder why the horizontal design has lasted without being challenged for so long.It is so incredibly easy to empty a full bin and put a new bag in it that I only wish more of life's struggles were so easily resolved.It also seals in smells, when closed, and has so far proven dog-proof - which is the main reason I was willing to pay so much. My dogs have yet to knock this one over and spread the contents all over the kitchen floor.I wasn't going to go to the extra expense and trouble of buying the purposely-made bags, but when I saw how well the bags that came with the bin fitted... I now buy them off Amazon.My only worry is that the catch that keeps the bin closed looks as cheap as those on all the other cheap bins I've been through, and so I worry it will stop working at some point. And this is not a cheap bin to lose.

I have the 2 bucket model in White. This bin looks amazing and is easy to access and clean. However after just six months of use the catch on the lid has broken, meaning the lid won't close. For such an expensive bin this is a disappointing lifespan. This is obviously a common issue, as the first thing you see on the Service and Guarantee page on Brabantia's website is Problem with Touch Bin Lid.I expect the lid catch to last several years and I would be happy to give the bin a 5* rating if Brabantia spent a few more pennies to provide a decent quality catch.A minor annoying feature is that the (expensive) size X liner bags for the 11L bucket fit so tightly that it's a wrestling match to put them on and take them off. I have purchased from Amazon, John Lewis and Brabantia themselves and they all have the same problem. The larger size J bags for the 23L bucket fit fine.

I love this bin! We moved house and the bin was going to be in a more open plan area so I wanted something that would do normal refuse and recycling that wasn’t too big and looked nice. A few weeks in the capacity is quite deceptive and you an get plenty in there and with the freshener bought separately we haven’t had any smells. Plus it looks stunning!

It may be a little sad but this bin has brought me joy! It’s perfect for the space and is a lovely item doing a functional job!

I bought the passion red Brabantia 23L + 11L dual bucket although the 3 X 11L or 36L option would have been just as good I am sure. There was a period in my life when I would have considered myself crazy for spending £150 on a bin. But this is not the type of bin you hide in a cupboard. This bin deserves to be on show. Especially if you are using it for dry recyclables, as I am. I can't believe I am this excited about a bin. But I am 52 years old and my best years are behind me. Getting excited about a bin is where I am. Long live Branbatia!

Yes I know it's eye wateringly expensive for a bin (hence one star taken off) but not wanting my lovely new kitchen spoiled by an ugly, clunky conventional bin eyesore, it had to be the Bo! It's just the right size and not as gigantic as people say (mine is the 2 bin model.) The legs couldn't have been easier to attach.I love everything about it, but I just wish the liners were cheaper and easier to track down. I may try supermarket own brand ones though.UPDATE - over a year on, and my Bo bin is as good as ever. For anyone wanting an alternative to the hard-to-find (and expensive)X size Brabantia bin liners for the smaller bin, Lidl green compostable caddy bags will do the job if you tie a small knot at the top.
