to think £80 for a pedal bin

[2shoes]

is a lot of money
ok it is a lovely bin but at the end of the day you just put rubbish in it...........

I have one, in fact it is the second one in 8 months . The lids keep breaking

Excellent - we have a new lid too.

I just use normal black bin liners in mine

£80 for a foosty pedal bin. That's a larf.

Seriously?

mine doesn't smell

I showed that bin to dh and he said for that price it would have to take itself outside and empty itself

i think its ok for a nice bin

i'd put it on the mantal piece!

I like mine. It is a bit of a bother to keep clean though. Any spillage really shows up. I think the their bags fit a bit better but they can be hard to find in your average grocers.

I have the 30l bin and prob empty every 3 days. Not long enough for it to start smelling anyway. Partly why we didn't get the bigger one. I have to admit I use the brabantia bags at the moment at I bought a load at a discount and I have never found a supermarket brand that doen't tear! Any tips?

Interesting about them sending out replacement lids. My mum gave me one after Christmas as it didn't fit their kitchen cupboard - lasted 1 week before teh lid broke. We have the guarantee but mum didn't keep the receipt so have no proof of purchase - is it worth trying for a replacement?

scotlou - definitely. I just got mine sorted out over the 'phone, they didn't even ask me how old it was. He did ask where the Brabantia logo was, not sure if that was to figure out what age/model it was or something, or to prove I really had one!

You have to use baby oil to clean them. Just wipe them over and they gleam. (An Anthea T tip)

How comes you people have so much rubbish? Or am I just a slob who never throws anything away? Seriously, sometimes the bin isn't full when it's binman day, but I just can't stand the smell.

Good lord, a 92 message thread about bins? Although I have just read it

Bins are fascinating.

And it hasn't turned into a ruck yet!

Well I read it thinking 92 posts, someone must have taken umbrage at something somewhere for it to be this long...but no!
