Would recommend this small bin
I needed a small bin that I could empty everyday and this one is perfect, just the right size for one person. It is well made, with an inner bucket and a soft pedal to open. I would definitely recommend this small bin.

NOT VERY PLEASED
i bought this pedal bin very recently to replace an old addis one that i had for many years. the workmanship is nowhere near the addis one, and it is'nt soft close. the pedal to open it is wobbly, so i would'nt buy another one. could i ask if there is a warranty?, as i am not very confident about how long it will work for. i appreciate the oppurtunity of using this service., £18 is more than i would normally pay for a pedal bin. regards jean dodd

Poor quality - rusting after 2 weeks
The bin looked really nice - good size, nice brushed chrome finish, but only 2 weeks in, tiny rust spots have started to appear on the lid. I had gone back for another and this one has some suspect marking that I think is going to turn out to be rust too. I’m very disappointed - they are in a small cloakroom, not in a steamy shower room, so I would have expected them to last a reasonable amount of time. I will be returning them & asking for a refund.

stylish chrome finish
bought last week, a replacement for an older pedal bin, I am pleased with it, it doess the job efficiently, and looks clean and tidy. the pedal means you have 2 hands to work with, no need to lift the lid. Only 2 in our household so the capacity is enough for us.

Faulty soft closing mechanism
The soft closing mechanism does not work. The lid slams down with gusto every time you release the pedal. Since I ordered it to a local Sainsbury's store for collection, I cannot simply "bring it back for an exchange", so I have decided to ignore the slamming and keep the faulty bin. It annoys me very much, so I will probably start looking for a new bin soon.
