Questions people ask
Is 60 litres one compartment?
No. It is two buckets of 30 litres each, which is a different thing for anyone filling a single large bag.
Why does it cost so much?
It is steel, it has two removable buckets and a soft-close dual mechanism, and it is the best-reviewed bin in this comparison.
What size liner fits each bucket?
Not stated. It is a 30 litre bucket, but the listing gives no liner size.
Can I wash the buckets?
Yes, both lift out, which is the reason to prefer this over a fixed divider.
Is it too heavy to move?
At 7.4 kilograms empty, it is a bin you find a home for rather than move around.
How many ratings does it have?
835 at the time of collection, averaging 4.7 stars, with 86 per cent five-star and 2 per cent one-star.
