Curver Metal Effect 70% Recycled Kitchen Accessories One Touch Deco Bin, Silver, 40 Litre

Good looking bin. Has a retaining ring to hold the bag in place. Good bin looks good in my kitchen.

I bought this to replace a broken Deco bin from Curver which has given me many years of good service, but finally wore out recently. I was so happy with this bin, I decided to buy the same one again. Sadly, the design has been changed, and not for the better. Firstly, the "collar" which holds the bag in place is now permanently attached to the lid (on the same hinge), which seemed a good idea at first, but means it's no longer possible to have the bag secured at the back edge, as the hinge now stops it being tucked under as I used to do with the old one. The collar also clashes with the lid at the front edge when it's being closed, so clearly the manufacturing tolerances are not up to snuff. This means when you open and close the lid, it wears a small hole in the bag, and sometimes fails to even close. Secondly, the top part of the bin (ie the lid and hinge assembly) seems to have a bigger or sharper lip on the inside than the previous one. This makes it really hard to get full bags out as they catch on the side. This resulted in me pulling harder and tearing big holes in the side of my bin bag. Finally, the catch is nowhere near as secure as it was on the previous model, and I can tell it's going to wear out relatively quickly. When closed, it's supposed to open by pushing down on the top, however even a small amount of upward pressure causes it to open, so clearly the catch is not great. It's not all bad - the finish is a bit nicer on the top, and the hinge assembly is now more robust as it's hidden, so no opportunity for the torsion spring to come out of place, but overall, this is a surprisingly big step down from the previous design. Edit: Even if the bin is not full, after a few months it started opening by itself. Every time I use it I can expect it to have it either immediately pop back open, or worse, pop open later, leaving my house smelling of rubbish. This is the worst bin I have ever used, and it makes me upset EVERY SINGLE DAY. I am finally replacing it because it's an awful product. The people that designed and made this bin should be ashamed of themselves, it's truly an embarrassment. For anyone looking for a similar bin, I highly recommend Brabantia's 40l touch bin. It costs more for sure, but it's something I use every day, and after my experience with the Curver, I won't be skimping on bins again. Please, please, please, DO NOT BUY THIS BIN.

When all is said and done, this is a bin. I'm not the sort of person to get excited about refuse disposal. However, a review is a review, and Amazon say they'll tell me a joke after I've written this one (Man, that joke had better be good!) So here's my review: Like all plastic flip-lid bins, this one suffers from suction problems when removing a full bin bag. Simple solution - drill some holes on the back at the bottom. Air can then go in as the bag comes out. Next gripe - the ring that holds the bag in place is hinge attached to the lid. Great idea I thought! Until I tried to use it. The ring all too easily allows the bin liner to bunch up all around and then covers the locking mechanism so the lid won't stay down. Stupid. So you have to be cunning with your bin liner arrangement, which invariably leads to the liner slipping down at the front, allowing trash to get past and fall into the bottom of the bin, outside the liner.

Great value fore the money

I had the older version of this which packed up and lasted about 8 years. When I came to replace with this version. I've noticed that the latch is incredibly sensitive. It will require more than 1-2 tries before the lif closes. A slight knock and it'll flip open. Your mileage may vary but I'd avoid this and look for something more reliable. I wish I could return this and replace it with something else.

Fast efficient seller, A1 item, Recommend to anyone, thank you

I bought one of these bins maybe 5 years ago, and I was pretty happy with it, but it had over the years gotten a little gnarly, so I decided to get a new one. Unfortunately, the current version has changed from the one I had. The locking mechanism for the lid is now extremely flimsy, and mine unfortunately arrived broken. I guess that can happen. Bad luck, no big deal, so I got a replacement. But after just a little over a month, the locking mechanism on the replacement has also broken, despite the fact that I was extremely careful every time I closed the lid. The part of the lock on the bin itself also tends to scrape against the bin bag, when removing it, and can very easily tear most bags, except very heavy duty ones. But when using those, they can slightly push the inner rim that holds the bag, so the lid won't easily close, and you have to push it forward from the back to get it to line up and close. The old version of this bin had none of these problems, and they make this new version very frustrating to use and completely unfit for purpose. So the 1 star this gets is just for the looks. It has nothing else going for it.

Perfect

J’avais besoin d’une poubelle de qualité et robuste pour la cuisine. Très satisfaite du produit acheté !!

Es ideal. Hay que tener en cuenta que hay que usar bolsas especiales, pero tanto el diseño como la utilidad son de 10.

Falla el sistema de cierre de la tapa, dos veces me lo han cambiado sin éxito

Lid broke quicly (not closing, very cheap plastic). But this bin in the bin in 6 weeks! Don’t buy! IKEA AND OF COURSE BRABANTIA WAY BETTER. I was clearly and obviously upset for such low quality (which I didn’t expect) but to be honest, this purchase was a huge mistake, got this trash bin in the trash so quickly that I think I bought trash. Sometimes, when some products are more expensive there’s a reason, just buy BARBANTIA
