Product Information

Full details

This SONGMICS Dual Rubbish Bin is designed for households seeking an efficient and aesthetically pleasing solution for waste and recycling separation. Its key benefit is hands-free, silent operation and easy cleaning, making kitchen tidiness effortless. A potential caveat is its 80L total capacity, which may be large for very compact spaces. This bin features two 40L compartments, pedal-operated lids, a soft-close mechanism, and removable inner buckets for convenience.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of each compartment?

Each of the two compartments has a capacity of 40 liters. The overall dimensions of the bin are 64.5 cm wide, 40.4 cm deep, and 63.5 cm high.

Are the inner buckets dishwasher safe?

The product information does not specify if the inner buckets are dishwasher safe. It is recommended to wash them by hand with mild soap and water to ensure longevity and avoid potential damage to the plastic.

How many bin bags are included?

The rubbish bin comes with 15 bin bags to get you started.

Can I use any brand of bin bag?

Yes, you can use any brand of bin bag that fits the 40L inner buckets. Standard kitchen bin bags around 40cm wide and 60cm high should work well.

How does the soft-close feature work?

The soft-close feature is a built-in buffer mechanism that controls the speed at which the lid closes, ensuring it shuts gently and quietly without slamming.

What material is the bin made of?

The exterior of the bin is made of metal, giving it a sleek and durable finish. The inner buckets are made of plastic.

Is this bin suitable for outdoor use?

This bin is designed for indoor use, primarily in kitchens, to complement home decor and manage household waste. Outdoor conditions may affect the metal finish and mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not open fully or closes too quickly.

Check that the inner bucket is correctly seated and not obstructing the lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects caught in the hinge or pedal mechanism. If the soft-close is too rapid, check for obstructions.

Pedal feels stiff or unresponsive.

Ensure the bin is on a level surface. Check the pedal mechanism for any debris that might be preventing smooth movement. Clean the pedal linkage with a dry cloth.

Odors persist even with lids closed.

Ensure the lids are fully closing. Clean the inner buckets and the rim of the outer bin where the lid makes contact. Consider using charcoal odor absorbers inside the compartments.

Scratches on the metal exterior.

Use a silver polish specifically designed for coated metals, following the product instructions carefully. For minor scuffs, a very gentle application of car polish might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates easy waste and recycling separation.
  • Hygienic and convenient hands-free operation.
  • Quiet lid closure prevents loud bangs and traps odors.
  • Inner buckets simplify cleaning and bag changes.
  • Stylish design enhances kitchen aesthetics.
  • Ready to use out of the box with included bags.

Cons

  • The 80L total capacity might be excessive for small kitchens.
  • Requires floor space due to its size (64.5 x 40.4 x 63.5 cm).
  • Metal exterior may be susceptible to scratching if not handled carefully.
  • Pedals require sufficient clearance to operate effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the rubbish bin and remove all internal packaging.
  2. Place the bin in your desired location. Ensure there is enough space for the lids to open fully and for the pedals to be operated.
  3. Insert the plastic inner buckets into their respective compartments.
  4. Place a rubbish bag into each inner bucket, folding the edges over the rim.

Compatibility:

  • This bin is designed for standard household waste and recycling.
  • Use bin bags that fit the 40L inner buckets (approx. dimensions: 40cm wide x 60cm high). The included 15 bags are sized for immediate use.

Care:

  • Exterior: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the finish.
  • Interior: Remove the inner buckets and wash with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
  • Lid Mechanism: Ensure the pedal and soft-close mechanism are free from debris to maintain smooth operation. Occasionally wipe the hinges and buffer area with a dry cloth.
