Why is it more expensive than the 50 litre bins?
You are paying for the round body and the stainless finish, not the capacity.
Is it stainless steel?
The title says so and the material field says metal, which is less specific.
Does it have an inner bucket?
The listing does not mention one.
What size liner fits?
Not stated, as with the rest of this comparison.
How many ratings does it have?
2129 at the time of collection, averaging 4.3 stars, with 66 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
