Nearly ten years ago (October 2004) we bought one of those new-fangled (well, back then!) touch bins that open when you press the lid. It cost a fortune, £90 (I think), but came with a 10 year guarantee so we assumed it would last a long time.
About a month ago the lid stopped opening and closing so I contacted Brabantia and asked if we could buy a new top part. They asked when we bought it, I told them and they immediately sent a new one!
I was shocked, firstly, by the fact that we could find the receipt and, secondly, by the fact that they took our word for it.
Well done Brabantia.
