The tower bin arrived in a large branded box packed securely with cut out polystyrene top and bottom with the lid inside also held and protected top and bottom with custom cut out polystyrene. After I unpacked it I had a read through the included instruction manual, the instructions are fairly straight forward and the manual contains instructive diagrams along with a section in the back on care, useful tips and warnings.
Fitting the bag in the bin is simple enough and it holds very well and I found it just as easy to release when I emptied it, the lid takes four AA batteries (not included) and they fit in a clip release compartment on the underside of the lid which seems very secure so it won’t come loose. The LED sensor on the lid works well and has a pickup range of around five inches so only gets tripped accidentally if you get very close to it, the lid closes automatically seven seconds after opening which gives plenty of time to put rubbish in.
I though the lid mechanism seemed a bit flimsy along with the lid only being 2.5mm thick I thought it might be easy to accidentally damage, the look of the bin is very nice and with a 75 LT capacity it certainly holds a lot. The main body of the bin is not water tight so should you get liquid leakage from a bag within the bin it may leak that liquid onto the floor and when you wash it out you need to be aware of this, the lid can only be cleaned with a damp cleaning cloth.
Overall the bin looks great, the LED sensor opening and closing works very well although I have reservations on if this would withstand a hard knock as the lid is very thin and mechanism seems a bit flimsy, The capacity is good and the holding system for the bad works well, I like the idea of the bin freshener compartment in the bottom of the lid although I think they should have including one in then package to try it.
