EHC Slimline Laundry Linen Basket Bin Review

If you need a laundry basket that is sturdy, can fit in a small space, and looks stylish, the EHC Slimline laundry basket is a great choice. It has a rustic woven design and is made from polypropylene and a wire frame, making it lightweight and durable. Handles on either side of the basket make it easy to carry laundry to and from the washer.

Here’s our full review of the EHC Slimline laundry basket.

EHC Slimline Laundry Linen Basket Bin Review

What Are You Buying?

1. Lightweight & Durable Wire-reinforced Laundry Bin

The EHC Slimline laundry basket is made from polypropylene with a wire frame underneath. The combination of plastic and metal makes the laundry basket lightweight while ensuring it’s sturdy and will last a long time.

That said, it’s not quite as strong as an all-plastic laundry basket. There are reports from customers of the weaving coming loose and the handles getting wobbly or even falling off completely if you overload the basket.

If you need something that can hold up to a lot of heavy use, consider getting a regular plastic laundry basket instead, though it won’t look as good as this woven one.

2. Slim Compact Design

The EHC laundry basket is 21cm wide, 40cm long, and 50cm high. The slim design means you can fit it in narrow spaces like between your washer and the wall, between the washer and the dryer, behind the bathroom door, next to your bed, or anywhere else you want.

The downside is that the laundry basket is not ideal if you like to keep your dirty laundry for several days before you wash it. It has a medium capacity that can hold about 3 days worth of laundry for 1-2 people. If you need a large laundry basket, this is not it.

The basket comes with a lid, so you can keep your laundry hidden away. You also get a pair of sturdy faux leather handles on either side for easy portability.

It’s a small thing, but I like how the handles lay almost flat against the side of the basket instead of sticking out. It lets you put the basket in a narrow space without the handles getting in the way.

3. Stylish Woven Design

If you don’t want a boring looking plastic laundry bin, the EHC Slimline has a woven design that you might like.

The woven polypropylene gives it a stylish rustic feel that looks great in whichever room you put it in. You can choose from two colours: a neutral grey or a warmer cream basket.

How Easy Is It To Use?

We love how lightweight the EHC Slimline laundry basket is. Even when it’s full of laundry, it’s still fairly easy to lift and carry. The side handles are great, but avoid overloading the basket as the handles tend to come loose.

The included lid is also handy, though several users say it can be fiddly to put it back on the basket. That’s because the basket is not rigid.

But the best feature is the slim design. It saves loads of space and lets you put the basket just about anywhere.

What Accessories Are Included?

Apart from the basket and the lid, the EHC Slimline doesn’t come with any other accessories. You don’t need to buy anything extra to use it, but we recommend getting a laundry liner. It’ll make it easier to get dirty laundry out of the basket and prevents clothes from getting snagged on the basket weaving.

Get several liners if you want to separate your clothes in the basket. You can have a small one for delicates, another one for whites, and another for colours. This saves you the trouble of sorting your clothes when doing laundry.

Pros

• Good value for money — a great choice if you are shopping for an affordable and good quality laundry basket.
• Looks stylish.
• Sturdy wire frame.
• Includes lid and handles.
• Lightweight and easy to use.

Cons

• Not suitable for large families or more than 3 days worth of laundry.
• Handles get loose after some time.
• Highly sensitive to sun exposure.

Anything Else You Should Know?

While polypropylene is a durable type of plastic, it is highly vulnerable to UV exposure. Direct exposure to sunlight causes it to degrade and become brittle.

Do not leave the EHC Slimline laundry basket outside or where it will be exposed to sunlight such as close to a window.

Also avoid keeping it too close to any heat sources, as constant exposure to heat can also make it weaker and discoloured.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a well designed, space-saving, and sturdy laundry basket for one person or a couple, we highly recommend the EHC Slimline. It is affordable, adds a nice look to the room, and it should last you a long time with good care.
