Wesco Pushboy (50L) Bin - Graphite

Pondered a long time about buying this bin after looking at brabantia versions and pleased to say i made the right choice.After reading previous peoples reviews i was unsure but still decide too take the plunge.Seeing what some people had written about scraping food in the bin 2 handed was a chore i thought how lazy are people in the uk now.Seems like joe public are no longer able to adapt and overcome situations which makes us such a miserable complaining nation.Im sorry but i love the quality of this bin and its timeless look and you can tell the german quality from start to finish.Fair enough it might chip and rust in places but you have to remember its a bin which is filled with all the nasty stuff we dont want so if you filled your car day in day out with rubbish would that not rust achip and wear?I was lucky enough to pick mine up cheap from amazon and dont care if it lasts a year or 2 its a status piece.if you like cheap rubish pop down to your local argos,tesco or dunelm mill and buy a cheap nasty looking one.Best thing is now i only empty it twice a week and all you do is lift the whole thing up by the handles and it leaves the steel container on the floor.Please note youll find a large grey elastic band in the bottom of the box so dont throw it away like i nearly did its for securing bags so they dont slip down.Nice idea that works.Would i recommend the wesco pushboy for the price?i sure woulld and if you can afford it get the kickmaster which is easier to scrap rubbish into.

Firstly, in response to the previous review about this being impractical.....what you talkin' 'bout Willis? It is a bin. It is not impractical (due to flap being too small) unless you plan on pushing your head through and wearing as a hat (though smaller heads would fit). The 50 litre capacity seems like just the right size for a family of 4 plus. You could probably bathe a small child in this bin (to give you an idea on size), though I have not yet tried this myself....yet...I would need to borrow a small child. A small child could also put the bin over him/herself and pretend to be R2D2 from Star Wars - a cost saving for halloween. This type of bin is also good if you want to place it under a breakfast bar, whereas the pop up lids would not be as practical.All in all a great bin and addition to the family ...and the only one to have not developed an attitude ...I've named mine Terry.In seriousness, an excellent bin...and looks pretty cool....for a bin.

A lot of people have mentioned that you can't scrape your plates straight into and that it's a bit of a struggle to separate the outside from the inside...The small tightly sprung flap and the closely fitting nature of the two bin parts ensure that no nasty niffs escape from the bin. If you can live with this you will never have any unpleasant bin odours in your kitchen even in the height of summer.The plate scraping can be worked around by first scraping into a small takeaway container, which you can either dump straight into the bin or wash for further use. In Germany, where I first saw this, all food waste goes into other recycling containers so scraping plates into the bin wasn't probably top of the designers list.If you can get over these things this is an excellent and very attractive bin. Did I really just write 'attractive bin'... it must be time to go and watch some football or listen to some loud music :)

This is a quality product and does look great BUT a bin also needs to do a job and this fails miserably. I had thought that the push action opening could be a bit of a pain but it was worse than I had imagined. The push lid is quite small and has a good closer making it hard to put anything but the smallest of items in and if you need to scrape a dinner plate or similar it's impossible. It has to be emptied more regularly too because anything sticking up prevents the lid from being opened.The final major issue is that to empty the bin, the entire metal section (everything in cream) has to be lifted off the plastic interior - if I'd thought about it, you'd think that the top came off just above the logo but you have to lift the metal bin to reveal the black plastic inner bin (that you can see at the bottom of the picture, that I had thought was a non-slip base) before you can get the bag out - all way too much hassle and a enormous waste of money. Yes, it looks great and is good quality but if you need a real bin, don't buy this one without seeing it first. I don't write reviews normally but had to with this - I can't believe I've now spent nearly £200 to get a decent bin.

Love the look and have had a few admirers! Big downside is my husband has cut his hand when putting rubbish through the flap and our 18 month daughter is constantly trapping her hand! The flap is also prone to alot of smudge/smear marks because it's crome but despite this I still rate four stars because it's easy so easy to change bags, durable (compared to previous bins) and loooove the look!

Wow, I absolutely adore this bin! I don't agree with the 'complaints' others have had about the varying impracticalities of it. It's a vibrant stylish addition to any kitchen. It seems really sturdy & well made & all the other positive feedback rings true. I too did my research before settling on this model & I'm delighted with my purchase. If in doubt or wondering if it's the right choice for you .... don't! Just get it, you won't regret it.

Great design and well made. I am very impressedI put one in my posh office it looks so cool,The method is easy. Lift off the outer casing, Put in a new liner in the inside steel bin and replace the case.NB: The 50L is quite large and quite heavy. Sign of quality
