Wesco Pushboy Waste Bin (50L) - Red

Lovely bin

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.

Excellent bin and I love the matt black colour

This is the worst (and most expensive) bin I have ever bought. We have persisted with it now for a few months and looking to replace it. It is completely useless as a kitchen bin. Most people use their bin to do the following: - scrape food off a plate - tip a bowl of food -scrape food off a chopping board into the bin - tip leftover food out of a saucepan. NONE of these are possible with this bin. The flap needs to be held open so you need one hand to hold it open, another hand to hold you pan or plate and a third to perform the scraping action. So it’s fine if you have three hands or someone else always at hand to help you use a bin. Or attempt to use your knee to hold it open and hope you avoid a messy outcome. And lastly the opening is so narrow that even if you manage to find a way to hold it open, it’s not wide enough to scrape food in without it going everywhere. It looks great in our country style kitchen but it really is form over function. Can’t believe we paid so much for something that we are now looking to replace. The question is whether it meets UK and European consumer regulations. Is it as described and fit for purpose?

Really pleased,will definetly invest in some wheels for it though as we're a family of 5 and it can become heavy to shift!the only downside is trying to scrape food off of your plate into the chrome flap gets a bit messy when doing so!but overall it's sturdy,looks great and would recommend as we're a large family.

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 :)

Perfect! I had been looking for an orange bin for my kitchen for a long time. I couldn't find any that were the right size and not plastic. I found the Wesco ones on various sites but they were all very expensive for a bin. Then I found this one. Although still pricey. Much better than all the others of the same design I had seen. When it arrived I was so happy with it. Style and colour just what I wanted. Yes it can be a little awkward to scrap plates through the push flap and to empty you have to lift the whole outer section off. This however was not a problem. It isn't heavy and it easily slid out from under the counter so it could be done. If you really want something different from a normal rubish bin for your kitchen. This is it!

Wesco hat einfach so wunderbare Produkte. Meine halbe Küche steht inzwischen voll damit :-) Und so nun auch dieser tolle Pushboy...okay die Farbe ist gewagt, aber das gute Stück ist ein wahrer Hingucker und alle unsere Bekannten und Freunde finden ihn ebenso toll wie wir. Es geht eine Menge an Müll rein, aber der Sack ist nie so voll und groß, dass es unangenehm ist zu tragen oder das es zu Gerüchen kommen kann. Die Klappe verschliesst sehr gut und es kommen kaum Gerüche aus dem Eimer. Zudem ist das rausholen des Müllsacks sehr einfach. Man hebt einfach die orangene Haube ab und kann dem Müllsack, der mittels eines Gummis befestigt ist einfach herausnehmen. Kein großer akt und auch für Frauen und Kinder geeignet. Zudem ist es toll, dass der Eimer so schön schnell zu reinigen ist. Einfach mit einem feuchten Tuch abwischen und fertig :-)

Se différencie des poubelles classiques par son design et les couleurs vives. Vraiment un très bel objet déco qui se démarque des poubelles standards. Le seul petit bémol on va dire c’est le clapet d ouverture qui est un peu moins pratique qu’un couvercle qui s’ouvre sur le dessus. Le prix est justifié de par l’originalité du produit, de sa forme et sa couleur vraiment superbe. Si vous avez quelques hésitations pour acheter cette poubelle. Franchement allez y les yeux fermés vous ne serez vraiment pas déçu. Je recommande à 100%

Lo usamos para reciclar los plasticos aprovechando su gran tamaño. Queda muy elegante, muy bonito. Volvería comprar otros productos de Wesco seguramente!

Ottimo prodotto, bel design per interno, molto capiente. Prezzo un po’ alto.

Llegó perfecto. Decorativo
