"Some good points" star star star star star_border A very stylish bin which looks superb when new. Also, in theory, a very good idea and bin does hold a good deal more than it would without the compactor. However, I was a bit concerned by the fragility of the lid. My husband has carers daily and they had managed to dent the lid several times by the end of the first week! This does detract from its looks. It is easy to keep clean and to insert bags. Slightly harder to remove bags when full - and the bin bag liners are not rip proof - and are expensive.
