Brabantia Dustbins

When it comes to bins for the home, especially the kitchen the brand name which often springs to mind is the plastic king of kings, Addis. I presently have an Addis kitchen bin in my bedroom of which I use for shredding paper and other accumulated paper junk. I’ve often bought Addis simply because most of their products are made with good thick PVC plastic, good design thought and are generally easy to clean. Cheaper versions from Poundstretchers and Argos which don’t carry the Addis name however are easy to spot; they don’t hold much quality against an Addis product. But what do you do, if you are looking for something completely different and more stylised to fit into ...  Read the complete review

Moving into our new apartment, style, pop lid and durability is what we were looking for when it came to the kitchen bin. We were looking at alternatives such supermarkets own brands, though none of these felt as robust and thick as the Brabanti Bins. Brabantia specialise in Kitchen ware, this includes cutlery, bins, tools and other small gadgets. The range is robust, mechanically sound and built to last. These are often far more expensive than competitor brands, but you do get what you pay for. We went for the Polished finished, over the 'matte' effects they do. This is indeed a nightmare to keep on top of when cleaning, ...  Read the complete review

Following a makeover on our kitchen we lost the handy little under-cupboard space that used to house our bin. So browsing the Internet we came across the Brabantia range and as my mum-in-law had one in her kitchen I knew they were good quality. We finally settled on the 30 litre bin as it was slim and would fit into the corner of the kitchen without sticking out too much and although we have 6 people is our house-hold I resigned myself to the fact I would be emptying the bin more often. ##THE LOOKS## Well, the bin itself is actually very stylish looking, with the base portion being a polished chrome cylindrical shape and the lid portion a ...  Read the complete review

I have coveted the Brabantia shiney Chrome dustbin for some years now.....Oh how sad am I?? Need to get out more, but its the truth. We are a standard, family of 4 and generate a colossal amount of litter, and we recycle everything that can be, AND I have the whole home compost thing going on. So, I really wanted the 50l version, so £110.00 big ones. The reason it was difficult to spend all that money, was that I had a super cool retro Push can that I had bought in Harvey Nix back in the day for over £100. That was a terrible bin, the push can part got terribly dirty all the time, I mean all the time...manky. All food used to splosh on the front, and the can ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Brabantia tall slim pedal waste bin in stainless steel some months ago and find that the Brabantia (and other makes) of bin liners sold to go with this bin simply do not fit and on top of that are extremely expensive. You have to stretch at the top which quite often results in a tear. Also the handle on the inner bin itself came off almost immediately. One of my worst purchases though it does look much better than it actually is. I bought a matching linen bin too to go with it and though that is ok it is not really ideal for holding very much dirty laundry. So all in all bad marks Brabantia - I am now looking for a quality Addis swing bin ...  Read the complete review
