Questions people ask
Does it have a pedal?
No, it is a swing bin: the lid opens when pushed and closes behind you.
Is 60 litres enough for a family?
It is the second-largest capacity here, and the cheapest way to get it.
Can I wash it?
There is no inner bucket, so it is wiped rather than washed.
Does the lid slam?
There is no soft close, so it drops shut under its own weight.
Why is it sixth?
Because the capacity is the best value here, but nothing about the bin is pleasant.
How many ratings does it have?
470 at the time of collection, averaging 4.4 stars, with 70 per cent five-star and 6 per cent one-star.
