At the foot of that page is a Brabantia bin, we have a 30 litre, touch opening, soft closing one.
IMO they look modern, clean, and smart, you can get them from between £45 and £60.
 
I know size is an issue but even in my house (2 adults 1 baby) we can fill our 70l bin fairly quick. Even with card/plastic/tins being recycled.
 
The Simplehuman ones are decent, we've had ours for a few years. We got the dual recycler one to save having to have two bins in the kitchen.

+1 on simplehuman. We have this one as we needed a specific width to fit a gap and its been doing its job for a few years with no issues and still going strong. I resented paying 90 quid for a bin, but its been solid. Little touches like the bags being easy to fit and the plastic inner will stand proud inside due to a little ledge while you're fitting them do illustrate the design quality. Its also easy to keep clean even with spillages (largely caused by the space we have it in rather than the bin itself).
 
I've never understood why modern kitchen bins don't have larger recycling compartments. Most weeks now we create more recycling than we do general waste and I'm sure we can't be the only ones.

Have you thought about using the recycling compartment for other waste and the main compartment for recycling?
 
Initial simplehuman looks good (have a similar older Curver model)
- can open it without touching w/pedal, and has big enough mouth to scrape chopping board remnants into - 2 must haves imhop

Not sure if SH lock you into their bags though, or you can use your own old supermarket bags.

If you want a narrow bin, for recycling say, then the wham brand are robust/good-value, also use one in the bathroom.

To be honest I'd favour a solution where we didn't need a bin in the kitchen at all. They all just seem to get in the way/mess with the aesthetics of the kitchen some what.

You know what, I've actually never thought to do that! Our recycling side is always full but we generate very little general waste.
