Pedal bins

Trash in the modern kitchen is a must-have element of the interior. Some housewives consider it superfluous to buy some kind of special container, but for others the purchase of an ideal model is a responsible and difficult choice, because not only the solution to the problem of getting rid of garbage, but also the overall arrangement of the kitchen room depends on it.

Some housewives are based on aesthetic considerations, without buying a simple plastic bucket into the kitchen with an original design solution. Others choose such a bucket, for reasons of hygiene - opening the lid of the dumpster with your hands is not a very pleasant experience. Whatever it was, but after spending a few minutes studying the models on the kitchen accessories market, you can purchase an original copy that solves the problem of waste disposal.

Trash can with a pedal - a great option for the kitchen or toilet. These stylish containers allow you to open the lid with one touch of the pedal and have long been considered the favorite of hostesses - no unnecessary tilting and endless opening of the lid manually, which is already hygienic.

Of course, the dimensions of the product do not allow to determine the tank under the sink, because the container is quite high, and pressing the foot on the pedal will not be very convenient.

Such buckets make from plastic or from metal. The latter option is preferable to acquire because of its excellent wear resistance and spectacular appearance. Stainless steel containers are not afraid of the negative effects of moisture and retain their original appearance for a long period of time. There are buckets with a matte surface and chrome. Metal baskets fit perfectly into the home interior and easy to use.

Such a bucket is simply indispensable in a residential area. Everyday waste requires a durable steel model that does not deform under the weight of trash. In the manufacture of such products used stainless steel, resistant to external influences. Neither moisture nor strong temperature drops will spoil the container, therefore such bins can be put even on the street.

Plastic models are very easy to clean - they are easy to clean.

For more comfortable use, you can buy a garbage can with a pedal and the following additional items:

• tight lid, which is necessary to protect against odors;
• removable plastic bag - it is needed to keep the bucket clean;
• rim, which serves to protect against mechanical stress.

Popular model with foot pedal brand Brabantia, made in the style of rustic. The assortment of pedal buckets at this company is quite wide.

When buying a trash can it is helpful to take note of some of the points described below.

• Models are capacity from 5 to 30 liters. But capacities of 8, 12, 15 and 20 liters are considered the most popular.
• Containers are produced rectangular, square or cylindrical. Which model to choose depends on the size of the kitchen or bathroom and the personal preferences of the hostess.
• It is necessary to answer the question about the material (plastic or steel).

The pedal bin is very practical and always of high quality, which allows Do not worry about its deformation through several applications.

One of the latest innovations is a pedal bin with several compartments. Some manufacturers did not stay aside from the requests of anti-pollution activists and began to produce sorting containers with several departments for different types of garbage to separate waste types that can be recycled (metal objects, glass, fabrics and paper products) from unsuitable.

A device with several departments is convenient to use, but this is only when it comes to about the quality model. For example, in such a model, department partitions should be securely attached and not hung out, as happens in some cheap plastic pedal bins. The principle of operation of this product is quite simple: you need to push the pedal, throw garbage into the appropriate compartment and release the foot.

Also worth mentioning about designs with microlift. This mechanism allows the lid to slap slowly and without noise.

Many housewives are confused that this design is somewhat massive, even if you purchase a small model. But it is worth considering one factor: the heavier the bucket, the stronger its body. It must be remembered that the person will constantly press the pedal with his foot, which will inevitably lead to a weakening of the mechanism, and the lid may not open over time as easily as after the purchase. Such a bucket is hygienic and convenient than tanks and baskets with lids.

Taking into account the dimensions, you need to decide in which corner of the house to put the ballot box, because you need a place not only for the tank itself, but also for the lid to lean back freely, since not all models have the lid open 90 degrees - for some buckets she leans back to the limit.

Pedal buckets may have improved variations. For example, one of them is pressing bucket. This is a great solution for those who often do not have enough time to take out the garbage. Most often, these bins are made of steel with a foot press. This tank allows you to not get rid of the waste a little longer, as it can wrap the existing garbage with polyethylene and form something like bricks that can be brought out later. Such buckets are more expensive, but for many housewives a useful addition in the form of presses is worth it.

The appearance of the pedal tank also plays a role. Often there are models with painted flowers or sights of various capitals of the world. Some companies offer customized designs. In this case, the buyer says which picture and photo should be transferred to the bucket.

In a classic interior, a trash can fits perfectly in the color of the walls or simple monochromatic (white, blue, black, brown). For high-tech apartments, chrome options are suitable. To decorate and give originality, you can choose different patterns.

• are distinguished by simplicity and straightforwardness;
• look stylish;
• happen as from the enameled, and chromeplated metal or multi-colored plastic;
• affordable, but more expensive than ordinary buckets, in which you need to lift the lid yourself;

• weakening the tightness of the cover;
• sometimes the lid is loosened.
