Brabantia Bo Touch Bin 11+23L
The design bin for anyone who separates waste without sacrificing looks: two compartments, a soft touch lid and that signature Brabantia finish.
The Bo Touch Bin proves a waste bin can be a statement piece. With 11 + 23 litres across two compartments you separate general waste and, say, plastic without standing two loose bins side by side. The light touch lid opens with a tap and closes silently, the matte coating keeps fingerprints away, and with a ten-year warranty you essentially buy it once. At around 160 euro it isn't an impulse buy, but as a gift for a new home or kitchen upgrade it lands just right.
Reasons to buy
- Two compartments (11 + 23 l) for effortless waste separation in one sleek unit
- Light touch lid: a tap opens it, damping closes it silently
- Matte, fingerprint-resistant finish and a non-slip base that stays put
- Ten-year warranty and refillable PerfectFit bags that sit neatly around the rim
Watch-outs
- It's a pricey bin; purely functional, you can spend far less
- PerfectFit bags (size G and C) fit best and cost more than generic bags
- The touch lid needs a deliberate tap; it isn't an automatic sensor bin
Separate waste without ugly loose bins
The value is in the two compartments. Instead of loose bins for general and plastic waste you do it in one furniture-grade unit: 23 litres for general waste, 11 for the fraction you keep apart. For small and mid-size households that's enough to last a few days without a kitchen full of bins.
Why it's pleasant to use
The lid is the heart of the design: a light touch opens it, damping means it closes without a slam. The matte coating hides greasy fingers and the non-slip feet keep the bin in place when you pull the bag out. PerfectFit bags clip neatly around the rim so no plastic hangs over the side.
Who is it a good gift for?
A classic housewarming or kitchen-upgrade gift: people rarely buy a bin of this level themselves, so as a present it stands out. Less logical if the recipient is purely function-focused or short on space; measure first if it fits.
Frequently asked questions
Which bin bags fit?
Brabantia's PerfectFit bags work best: size G for the 23-litre compartment and size C for the 11-litre. Generic bags fit too but often look messier over the rim.
Does the lid open automatically?
No, it's a touch lid: you tap it lightly to open. It does close in a damped, self-closing way. So it isn't an electric sensor bin.
How long is the warranty?
Brabantia gives a ten-year warranty and spare parts are sold separately, designed to make it last.
