Review: It's only an hour old at this point in time. So far so good. The usual wrestle to get it out of the packing boxes. The item came well wrapped and fully intact. It's actually quite heavy, especially when compared the cheap sensor bin we had until this arrived. Inside the lid you'll find a full plastic liner which you wrap your bin bags around the top of, no retaining ring or anything, it's just a simple thing. The liner is fully removable, so is easier to clean. There are vent holes a few inches from the bottom which make it easier to put back into place and being off the bottom means any small leaks won't end up all over your floor. In operation, the lid is smooth to open and the soft close mechanism works very nicely. It's all internal to the frame and the lid really does open without the usual annoying extra space requirement of normal pedal bins, you really can put it up against a wall or such without worries. It's quite stable on the floor and does not do the ridiculous dance around the kitchen of normal pedal bins. Even empty, it's staying put. Registering via a bar code was quite simple to be honest and they do have a UK website now. Registering gave me 20% off some more bin liner bags. Speaking of which, a pack of 10 was included with the new bin. This was better than I imagined, I thought perhaps only 3 might come. The bin bags seems good quality compared to the cheapo things I've been using up until now. They don't seem very easy to tear with any sharp corners.

*by V***L on 15 June 2018*

La papelera la tenemos unos 3 meses y va perfecta. Ventajas: -Buenos materiales -pedal fuerte y suave -Recipiente interior de plástico extraíble para su limpieza o colocación de bolsa. Desventajas: -Bolsas originales muy caras y no tan buenas, nos dieron 10 con la papelera y la primera se desgarro al sacarla. Adjunto dos fotos con las medidas de las bolsa original desplegada 71cm x 54,5 cm. Sabiendo las medidas, no es difícil conseguir bolsas que acoplen bien. Nosotros gastamos unas de Consum de 35 litros de color azul que van bien.
