There's Nothing Rubbish About This Bin

Advantages: nice solid construction
Disadvantages: It's not smudgeproof

...Simplehuman produce a range of quality household products and storage solutions but are best known for their bins. I've heard people rave about how much they love their Simplehuman gadgets and products from the range have featured on shows like Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives making them extremely fashionable and popular to own. I was looking for a silver pedal bin for my bathroom and a search on Amazon brought up the 4.5l deluxe pedal bin reduced to just £6 so I snapped it up. The bin is currently selling for £19.99 on Amazon and on Simplehuman's own website for £24.99 so I got a real bargain. All buckets are not created equally and this little bin has a number of features which claim to make your life that little bit better. The features this bin has are the non skid base, inner plastic bucket for ease of emptying, a fingerprint...

Review of Simplehuman Semi Round Pedal Bin

Laver and Wood - Private Bin

Advantages: Ping is as good as they get. Very durable.
Disadvantages: This must be a trick question.

...I have purchased 2 Private Bins so far, one I used this previous season (2008) and the other is on its` way as we speak (Jan. 2009) In the season of 2007 we participated in a private 20/20 Tournament in Scandinavia where many of the matches were played in pouring rain. Therefore the bat I had at that time was of no use after being damaged. Being a batsman who goes in to bat in the final overs, I have to have a bat which can send the ball flying. I went through quite a few bats and was very annoyed with myself. I concluded that I was better off buying one good bat instead of buying several bats and not be pleased with any of them. One day I sat down on the internet (and I can assure you I was very crossed with myself due to having spent quite a bit of money on bats which turned out to be anywhere from `not so good` to...

Review of Laver & Wood Private Bin

Time To Take Out The Trash

Advantages: Unsubtle as hell
Disadvantages: Unsubtle as hell

...Sub-genres. You gotta love ?em. Yeah! Come on! They?re the bottom of the barrel, the indefinable, and the ones that throw away the rulebook and make their own universes to play with. The western in space. Horror-comedy. These are both laughable attempts to revive flagging genres. What we have here is a true example of a genre unto itself. THE MELT MOVIE. Now, a melt movie has two basic rules ? introduce a substance/alien that causes people to melt when they come into contact with it. And provide lots of meltees! They had their brief moment in the sun during the 1980?s spell of ?video nasties?. So what better time to rediscover them than in this, the new decade of liberal video laws? You may want to seek out Brain Damage or The Stuff, but fast on their heels will always be the grubby day-glo gory glory hallelujah of STREET TRASH...

Review of Street Trash (DVD)

The Rolls Royce of kitchen bins....

Advantages: Size. convenience, touch top lid
Disadvantages: Price, getting liners

...That must be an exageration....after all isnt a bin... well just a bin?? Well no not when its a Brabantia touch top bin.... A combination of living in a first floor flat and being heart lazy made bin emptying one of my most hated chores. That stupid little plastic bin in the kitchen seemed to fill every couple of days and its capacity to hold wine bottles was appaling, hmmm again this could be more about me than the bin. My brother, being a flash git and newly married with millions of fancy presents proudly showed off his (literally) shiny big new bin.. sounds like he needs to get out more. Course soon as I saw this as an answer to my 'problem' I just HAD to have one. Soon as I got home I ordered it online from Argos (this was in the days before our big fallout) I was slightly shocked to see the price of the bin £80...

Review of Brabantia Kitchen Bin

It's a bin Jim, but not as we know it.....my triangular bin

Advantages: Fits well in my space, good design
Disadvantages: Expensive for a bin?

...What is it? This is a bin made by Simplehuman, who are a company who design products to make daily life easier, and also make lots of storage solutions and tools. This particular bin is a triangle shaped 38 litre bin with a pedal that fits into a corner, they do also make variously other shaped bins like this too. Reasons for Purchase Unbelievably it took me over a year to find this bin, part of that time being summoning up the courage to part with the (whispered) £90 it costs, the price being an awful lot of money to pay for a bin in my opinion, and far more than I wanted to pay at the start of my search! The bin is available in two versions, there is a slightly cheaper version that has a plastic rather than a brushed steel pedal. As for the reasons why I spent so long finding such a mundane item? Firstly...

Review of Simple Human CW1845 Corner Bin

Tum Bin - worth watching

Advantages: story, story development, music, cinematography
Disadvantages: non

...Tum Bin is a classic example of low budget romantic movie. It was not much advertised before release so when I saw first time I was completely unaware of story, artists, music etc. Once I finished it, I immediately added in one of my favourite movies I have ever seen. Its a story between 3 actors and 1 actress with extra ordinary music tracks and amazing direction by Anubhav Sinha. It was shooted in Canada so has some beautiful backgrounds. Story is about Shah Industries of Canada. After Amar Shah's (Rakesh Bapat) accidental death in India, Canada-based Shah Industries is on the verge of collapse. Pia (Sandali Sinha), Amar's bride to be, is devastated; Girdhari (Vikram Gokhle), Amar's dad, has become numb due to shock; and Amar's sister and grandmother are in mourning and attempt to live day by day. Some days after Amar's death...

Review of Tum Bin (Hindi Language) (DVD)

Hey I've "Bin" and Bought One!

Advantages: Good solid sturdy bin
Disadvantages: None

...Main thing I can say about this bin is an excellent, attractive, smart looking bin! My poor old bin had to face the gutting and rebuilding of my kitchen. It got splattered with paint, artex and glue. Had its lit cracked and to top that three cats persistantly sniffing round it for the chicken bones! Being made of cheap plastic it didn't really stand a chance, it was easy to knock over and so the cats had a field day which, I found annoying every morning when I had a kitchen floor to wash and rubbish everywhere before I could proceed to do anything else! The bin had to go! I searched online on the Argos web site and came accross the make Brabantia. These are a well known leading brand in Europe and based somewhere in the Netherlands. The quality of the bin did look good as I viewed the picture the price of £79.99 was a bit...

Review of Brabantia Soft Touch Bin 40 Litre

DON'T TRASH MY REVIEWS

Advantages: Durability, Appearance, 10 year Guarantee
Disadvantages: Price

...Since as of late everyone has been trashing my reviews for my comedic writing, i felt urged to defend myself by writing a detailed and honest review on a bin that can't be beat. Capacity & Weight First of all the bin holds 40 litres in dual capacity. Thats the equivalent to pouring 80 pints of sweet sweet apple juice into it. The bin is very stationary and can not be moved with light force stoping your pets from tossing it round the room like a puck on an air hockey table. Appearance A good bin is not the centre attention of the room. It's casually camoflages itself into the rest of the scenery with it's shiny alluminium polish. This bin is the attractive nod to trashing with splendor. Noise Upon opening and shutting, it is a quiet bin since it has a bit of foam underneath the catch to stop it from sending rather large...

Review of Brabantia Soft Touch Bin 40 Litre

Great bin, terrible lid.

Advantages: Looks great. Large capacity. No need for pedal. Amazing customer service.
Disadvantages: Weak lid that's bound to break.

...I bought a Brabantia 50 litre bin with a lid that you just press to open and shut for the kitchen which is so much more convenient than a pedal. The capacity is big enough so you only need to empty it on bin day. The bin has it's own branded liners. I have come back to using them now because they are cheaper now and fit neatly in the bin and when you lift the liner out the rubbish doesn't collapse into the empty gaps of generic liners that don't quite fit properly. The one big problem with the bin is the lid. Everyone I know who has one has had the clip broken. I love the convenience of the lid but you can see that it's bound to break. The hinges are weak too and these broke too within a year. However, I emailed Brabantia about the broken lid and within an hour I got a response telling me that they would mail me a complate new...

Review of Brabantia Kitchen Bin

Brabantia Bread Bin....Nice little bread bin, but sharp edges.

Advantages: small and tidy, looks good on kitchen side.
Disadvantages: slightly on the small side if your loaf of breads are large, sharp edges

...i bought this bread bin a year or so ago now and its very durable, although you can only fit one loaf of bread in it and if its a large loaf the sliding door can catch it and squash it slightly. also the other day i found out its quite sharp inside...i put my hand in to get some biscuits out that where in it and caught the edge and cut my finger quite bad. so i wouldnt recommend it for small children to use..... It looks nice and tidy on the kitchen side and does not take up alot of room, ok for someone who does not eat alot of bread, single person/couple....not much use too a big family. overall its and ok bread bin....
