18 litres is a proper kitchen bin — enough for a household's daily waste without needing emptying mid-evening, which is the point at which a bin stops being a nuisance. The rectangular body is deliberate: flat sides sit flush against a wall or inside a cupboard, using the floor space efficiently where a round bin of the same capacity would leave gaps either side. Pedal operation means hands-free opening with full or dirty hands, the soft-close lid lowers quietly rather than clanging, and the removable inner bucket lifts out so spills stay contained. In cream stainless steel, which shows fingerprints far less than polished silver.

Buying guide
Use liners sized to the bin rather than oversized bags folded over the rim, which foul the soft-close mechanism and look untidy every time the lid opens. Position it where the lid can rise fully without hitting a wall cabinet — a common problem with taller bins placed under worktops. Lift the inner bucket to wash it weekly and dry it before re-lining. Cream finishes hide fingerprints better than polished steel, but wipe spills promptly since a pale bin shows staining. Wipe the pedal linkage occasionally to keep the action smooth.
How it compares
Against an 11.5L bin, 18 litres means less frequent emptying in a family kitchen. Against a 28L, it takes less floor space. Against a round bin, the rectangular body uses the space against a wall efficiently.
