Its primary benefit is the dual-compartment system combined with deodorizer holders, offering a clean and organized way to handle refuse. A potential consideration is its 20L capacity, which may require more frequent emptying in very large households. Key features include stainless steel construction, a soft-close lid, a stay-open option, and fingerprint resistance.

FAQs
What is the total capacity of the bin?
The total capacity of the bin is 20 litres, divided into two 10-litre compartments.
Are the deodoriser inserts included?
No, deodoriser inserts are not included with the bin. You can use common household deodorizers like baking soda or activated charcoal.
How do I use the stay-open feature?
To use the stay-open feature, lift the lid fully and push it slightly further. It should lock into an open position. To close, gently pull the lid down.
What size bin liners should I use?
You will need two 10-litre bin liners to fit the individual inner buckets.
Is the bin suitable for outdoor use?
This bin is designed for indoor kitchen use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may cause damage or corrosion.
How often should I clean the inner buckets?
It is recommended to clean the inner buckets regularly, ideally daily or every few days, depending on usage and the type of waste, to maintain hygiene and prevent odors.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly.
Ensure the inner bucket is properly seated and not obstructing the lid. Check that no items are preventing the lid from closing fully.
Pedal is stiff or unresponsive.
Check the pedal mechanism for any trapped debris. Clean the mechanism and ensure it moves freely. If it persists, the mechanism may require lubrication or professional inspection.
Bin has lingering odors despite deodorizer.
Ensure the deodorizer is fresh and correctly placed. Consider using a stronger deodorizing agent or cleaning the inner buckets and bin thoroughly, as residual waste can cause odors.
Fingerprint marks are difficult to remove.
Use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap. Wipe in the direction of the grain and dry immediately with a soft microfiber cloth.
