Brabantia Bo Touch Bin Hi

Bins. One of those things that are kind of essential in every household yet also one of the things that everyone does their best to ignore (certainly when it comes to emptying them in my home!). Usually tucked away out of sight and a slight cause of embarrassment for the owner, they’re not exactly something you would normally consider a ‘stylish’ edition to any part of your abode. Brabantia however, would like you to think otherwise.

They’ve been around for a while providing household goods and have got quite a name for themselves through providing stylish and well-made household items. Take this bin for example. It’s been designed to reach the perfect height for an average person to make use of (815 mm high is a fairly average inside leg length and so where most of our hands reach down to without stretching) and at 60 litres is a size suitable for most families, making it the perfect bin for the majority of family households. The outer shell is made out of stainless steel rather than the usual plastic composite you expect for a kitchen bin and so is nice and easy to clean. It has a plastic inner compartment that is easy to remove and clean also and the whole thing is 97% recyclable once it has reached the end of its useful life which is likely to be a while as it has a ten year guarantee.

The lid is soft touch and opens easily (and, crucially, stays open!) with a minor press and the fact that it is on legs means you’re not going to find it hard to clean around the base of the bin where the inevitable mess and spillage may occur. It has handles on either side for easy moving and also comes with bin bags specifically to fit that you can buy separately once you’ve used those ones up. RRP £240
