Amazon Basics Rectangular Trash Can with Steel Bar Pedal, Soft-Closing Mechanism for Home and Office Use, 32 l, Black

This amazon brand pedal bin is fantastic.Positive points:1. It has a plastic lid but unlike some it is robust and easily copes with knocks. The body is coated metal.2. Inside the bin there is a lift out bucket that makes emptying easy.3. The pedal is metal and extends over almost all the front width of the bin. Unlike some bins it doesn't tip forward when it is pressed.4. The lid has a soft close action and seals well to stop smells escaping.5. The workings of the bin seem well made and strong.6. The bin doesn't have awkward shapes or nooks and crannies, making it easy to clean.The negatives (not many):1. The bucket inside the bin is much smaller than the outside dimensions meaning this is quite a large bin for its capacity.2. The pedal and connecting workings are all metal except one piece near the lid. It seems sturdy but plastic sections will always be weaker. I bought Th is bin because a previous question/reviewer (can't remember which) said it was all metal; it's not.However, over-all it's a fantastic bin. Most of the others of this size & in the same price bracket had poor reviews. Having used the bin for a month I would definitely buy it again.Update (2 years and 11 months after purchase): Bin still looks like new. The surface is very scratch & spill resistant and I wouldn't change my original review at all.

Great ! Looks nice and perfect size! Works well

Purchased this bin a couple of weeks ago and I can say it gets the job done. Both the inside and outside are black and seem to be made out of study plastic. It doesn't look or feel cheap and feels like a product that will last for a long time. My last bin was made of stainless steel and overtime, it started to get little rusty marks here and there that made it look awful. What made me purchase this bin was the fact that it didn't have much stainless steel looking parts, meaning it will look new for a longer period of time.On the inside, the product has a pull-out bin with handles so that it is easy to take out the bag; it also has a hole on the back to tuck in the bag so it's not moving around.It has a "stay open" switch on the inside, on the back of the unit so that you can swap the bags without the lid constantly closing down on you. It also has a soft close feature which is quite nice.The only down-side I've found is the fact that the lid doesn't seem to close down at times. My bin is placed under a counter top and if you open it all the way it seems to stay open so I have to be careful to open it gently so it doesn't stay open.Other than that, I would say it's a good bin. Looks good, gets the job done and seems sturdy.

The media could not be loaded. To keep the lid open there's a green switch that needs to be pushed to the left to lock the lid. The bin is quite robust but good quality. It looks nice. I would prefer in a beige/cream colour though. One downside, the lid is not so quiet when opening and it opens fast creating a flapping motion back and fro a few times.There's a mentioning about it in the product's description too.

I really like this bin. It doesn't get 5 stars because it's not super easy to put the binbag in, but it is nicer looking and easier to keep clean than many bins I have had.

Very pleased with this purchase. Good solid bin. Easy to change, easy to clean, large sturdy foot pedal. What’s not to love

Really good kitchen bin, opens and shuts with ease

This is the best Kitchen bin I've ever owned! It's soft close lid is a bonus, and the extra wide foot plate for opening is very sturdy. Easy to change the bag and keep clean.I would highly recommend this bin to anyone fed up with metal bins that only last a year or so before falling apart.
