Top Tip

Experience the thrill of being an animal 'Trapper' from the future by placing a tasty morsel of food inside the bin and laying it down long-ways in your back garden, with the top protruding slightly from the shrubs.
Next, flatten and fold the box that came with the bin into a small screen, cut out a long horizontal eye slit, and hide behind it at the opposite end of the garden, watching through binoculars.

Sooner or later some unsuspecting and curious 'wild game' such as a hedgehog or neighbour's cat will come along, and as they investigate, the mysterious looking hi tech silver cylinder will open, allowing them to claim the treat.
Once inside, the door will close gently behind them with a satisfying electronic bleep, trapping the animal securely but safely inside.

Depending on what type of Trapper from the future you are, you may then observe the animal up close, release it back into the wild, or eat it.

explodes if you try and put a black bin liner in

How can something as mundane as shopping for a bin be so exciting? Cannot wait for my Fast Track delivery. Thanks @iliveinuk

These have gone back up in price now.

Managed to pick up a white one but haven't opened it yet because I'm not sure about the colour I got.... anyone had luck picking grey or black one in London area?

Anyone in Derry want one of these I've reserved 2 and can't collect

I have a reservation number for collection today for a black one in Bangor North Wales if anyone wants it. I picked up a white one today instead somewhere else.

I got a white one at Melton Mowbray- picked it up yesterday.

Some are back instock in a few places....ppl must have not collected them

Yep, standard 75l bags but I think if I can find some which are extra long i'd get them.

Anyone in Birmingham want to swap a white one for a black or grey on, please let me know. Thanks

OOS everywhere in a 50 mile radius :disappointed:

Revisit this in a few days when people have failed to pick up their reservations and they are available again :wink:

Missed out. Gutted as I need a bigger bin for my kitchen.

Oos

How much do they want for a Peter?

red would match my kitchen but I aint paying that

Great deal - shame there's no stock in any colour in any one of the 25 stores I searched in west London and M4 area!! :man:

Damn, too tall for my kitchen slot.

I'm sure I paid £24 for this 2 weeks ago (including a 20% discount code).

Bin technology never lasts, does it?

I've enabled it now, tried to PM you again but it still won't let me! :disappointed:

White and Red in stock at Lincoln branch still.

They had plenty when £50

Who is Peter Shellher

Peter Sellers, not Seller's.

Bargain if you can get one have a couple of these sorts of bin from a different brand and they were £40-50 each

except every time you go past the bin the lid flaps up

If you are after a decent size sensor bin go for Costco ones

Are you using standard black bin bags, what bags are you using

I'm on my way back collected mine it's not that heavy but box is massive walking home now good luck to all those missed out top bin hot hot hot

Got mine delivered about 3pm. Its quite slim and tall so I wouldn't suggest overfilling the bags. Using 75l bags in this and they're probably about right.

Only red near me...

explodes if you try and put a black bin liner in

Need one in east London or London or Essex

Got 2 in Harrogate and 1 in Ripon so there was stock.
Black and a white for recycling and another white for general waste

Come on that's not fair

If anyone has black avail that's not required in North east let me know. Thanks

Yes ...why ???

Out of stock

I'm on my eat now

Some in London

Agree

Did anyone get one of these or was it yet another Argos "only one in the entire Country" scam?

I was just looking for a kitchen bin!

Red is £29.99.. ?

cant find in London

I got 10 reserved if anyone wants it then it's £1.00 a pop

So just like any pedal bin then?

Why

Now done :smiley:

The thing with Argos is if the item is discounted then its very often (Almost certain to be) not in stock unless you fancy travelling to some branch thats remote and away from any major town. The stock quantity kept in Extra branches is not big enough and the staff end up buying up all the good deals before Joe Public even see's them. If your lucky to see 1 in stock its probably the returned one or the one where the seal was broken to show to a customer.

all gone :disappointed:

Says i cant pm you. Please enable...

Just picked mine up; not sure if this is the norm for newer bins as I've had my last Simplehuman bin for a couple of years now and that has an inner-bucket for the bin bag and surprisingly all this one has is a ring(?)

Also, mine had a surprising dent in it but I couldn't be bothered at only £13.

Do you still have one please? It won't let me PM you!

I had one and just got rid of it. Never buy a round bin!!!

OOS in the 2 Mansfield stores and the other 8 stores around Mansfield for 2 colours(Black and white) but the red one was in stock but at £29.99 at the Oak tree store.

Argos have a tendency to put on great offers when there is such low stock. Generally, very few benefit. PR tactic to make other retailers look expensive.

there is a grey one in stowmarket if some one lives that way.

Anyone around Birmingham have a reservation they don't really need? Just moved house last thing I need in the kitchen.

vultures! out of stock for home delivery and wtihin 100miles of my location! good deal though..

Cheers OP for this wicked rubbish deal but OOS near me.

None near me

Anyone in York pm me as i have the black reserved at piccadilly or grey at monks cross. Decided to pick mine up from Clifton Moor. Just had all angles covered

And red is 30 pounds)

Good one, i need this, but out of stock everywhere next to me:(

Thank you- only white left at £12.99 in Melton Mowbray, but my old one has been broken for a year, so I've bought it.

ah too late...

Only the unwanted red color available

The modern world who'd live in it I ask you. Oh me and you lot that's who. Cheap enough for a bin and I am fat and lazy so this bin seems ideal.

Also I'm going to see if I can get my cat to sit on the lid, then watch him fly through the air, could make me some £$ on Youtube.

Thought I'd got a good deal at £23.99 recently! Luckily out of stock around near me though which makes me feel slightly better

SOLD OUT everywhere now!

No stock near me however heat added as it goods whoever can get it. Thanks

Argos is great at never having stock of the things you actually want to purchase Zzz

I did this last time it was posted. Cought a horse

Would have been good if it was in stock anywhere near me :disappointed:

Ordered one for collection, thanks OP

OOS in my area :disappointed:

Don't know about rubbish deal but definitely rubbish brand!!

does it need special liners or can you get use ordinary black bags/ bin liners?

Me too. I have one in red for the kitchen. as long as you buy decent bin bags it won't rip

Managed to reserve a white one not too far away, thanks OP

Amazon reviews put me off. Apparently it often tears bin bags when emptying and the sensor is very erratic. I'll pass.
Good discount though

My sis has one of these Russell Hobbs sensor bins...think the batteries wore out quite quickly as she'd only had it a few weeks and it was dud last time I tried it, but she's very happy with it otherwise.

How big are these and what's the weight like I live 10mins away from Argos and I haven't got a car is this going to be heavy to carry home thanks

I bought the grey last time this was posted. It's pretty cool tbf.

It's like a scene from the pink panther movie's when Peter seller's get surprised by Cato, when I walk pass one of these bins. :confused:

Of course we now have to have 3 bins in the kitchen to do the recycling correctly and would really want a sensor on the food waste caddy size bin - do they do small sensor bins?

O.o.s.

oos near me. voted hott

Oos near me :disappointed:

Good price, I like the grey :smile:

Great although red seems to be £29.99 x Got a black one x
Thanks OP x

Doesn't seem available anywhere near me (Croydon) in any of the colours that are discounted.

Excellent, order grey
