Questions people ask
How big is the bin?
The title says 30 litres and there is no capacity field. The dimensions give 70 litres of external volume, which is consistent with it.
What does the features field mean by removable?
It does not say. The line is truncated.
What colour is it?
The colour field says brushed, which describes the finish rather than the colour.
Why is it last?
Because the capacity is not in the specification and fourteen per cent of buyers rated it two stars or fewer, the worst in this comparison.
Is it good value?
At £28.99 with 780 ratings, it costs a pound less than a bin with 29,881 and no wheels.
How many ratings does it have?
780 at the time of collection, averaging 4.1 stars, with 63 per cent five-star and 9 per cent one-star.
