  • Sturdy, well made,
I bought two of these trash cans - 10.5 gallon wide for the kitchen and 2.5 gallon narrow for the bathroom. I'm very happy with the look and feel of them. They appear to be a great value, esp. if you get them on sale - the price around Prime days fluctuates often. The larger can was $85 on the first Prime Day 7/11, yet I had purchased it for $42 on 7/8. Same for the smaller can - $46 on 7/12, I paid $23 on 7/8. They came very well packaged with thick styrofoam on top and bottom of the box and under the can lid where it meets the body of the can. It arrived USPS, and a big 'thump' I heard at delivery made me cringe, but there was no damage to the box or contents. Beyond price, tho, I needed a new trash can that didn't cause problems during warmer weather with gnats/flies. Most trash cans don't completely seal, but rather have an air gap of some sort around the lid that allows the smells to escape enough to attract these pests. This one closes over and around the inner bin, so fingers crossed, it's eliminated that problem. **Update** There is definitely significantly less smell than my previous swing lid can. But really strong smell (onions!) is still noticable, much less, and can eventually attract gnats. Because it's a step-open can, I shouldn't be cleaning off the lid from food hitting it as it goes in, like my previous can. Hopefully I'll only be dusting it occasionally! (For the larger can, it's not a pedal, but a hefty u-shaped bar.) The slow close shouldn't create a 'woosh' of smelly air wafting up, like my previous swinging lid can. **Update** Changing from swing lid to step-open lid, I thot I wouldn't like the inconvenience of step opening vs just tossing into a swing lid. But I put a strong magnet under the lid edge, and a peg-type strong magnet opposite it on the outside, so one finger can lift the lid and with the same hand toss something in. And unlike a swing lid, I can step and hold open the entire lid to scrap off a plate or pan. And NO food or fingerprints on the lid - it stays clean. With the addition of a magnet "handle", the step-open can is better. And this after decades of swing lid cans. I also no longer need a full size can taking up space, esp. since it takes us a week or more to fill it. I didn't want to lean down to a too short can, or worry about missing it because the opening was too small. The 10.5 gallon can is tall enough and the opening is large enough that it looks and feels like a full size can. It's taken some time to find the right can for what I needed - the 10.5 gallon definitely checks all the boxes. There were less improvements needed for the bathroom can, but the 2.5 gallon also checks all those boxes. Very happy with the cans. I'll update this review if there's more to share. ... show more

  • Great looking, works very well and holds perfect amount of garbage for a single or couple.
Style: Wide Size: 5.3 gallon Color: Nickel
I Love this wastebasket! I had one that worked by waving my hand near the top, but after a year or so the magnets even stopped working when replaced. It was also very large so when I moved I looked for a smaller version and found this. It has just enough room for my one person garbage in the kitchen for about two days. It opened hands free by stepping on the pedal at the base and closes softly by itself after putting the garbage in. My only problem so far is finding the size bag (7.5 gallon) in a sturdy enough plastic. I have bought one on Amazon so far but it tears too easily when removing it. I will add one if I find one that is good to this review. Looks great with my stainless appliances and also fits nicely in several possible places in my kitchen so doesn't have to be hidden in a pantry! Easy to clean inside in the sink and exterior with a cloth. Great buy, expensive somewhat but well worth it for years of use every day! ... show more

  • Great, Functional Trash Can with One Flaw
Style: Wide Size: 5.3 gallon Color: Nickel
Purchased 2yrs ago. For the price, a simple, functional little trash can that's perfect for a small household. We use 4-6 gallon trash bags and it gets full roughly 2-3x a week with 2 adults, which is the perfect amount of time to take it out before it gets smelly but not wasting bag space. The pedal still works well and the insert is easy to clean if the bag gets drippy. Taking away 1 star because, as others reviews mentioned, the hole at the back/inside where the lid lift bar pokes thru is an unfortunate collector of crumbs and other debris and impossible to clean without a super small (straw-sized) vacuum nozzle attachment. Other than that, nice little can. ... show more

  • A flawed but functional garbage can
Style: Wide Size: 5.3 gallon Color: Nickel
I ordered one of these and though the box looked okay, the can had multiple large dents - I had to return/replace it. The second one came in better shape, with only one minor dent. I decided to keep the replacement. The garbage can feels flimsy, the lid feels flimsy. The lid will close, slowly, automatically which is good. The foot pedal seems good/sturdy at least. I use Kirkland 10 gallon bags and have to knot the bag to fit properly (no big deal - I have to do this one other garbage cans too, I don't think it's a design flaw). There is a hole at the top/rear of the removable garbage basket, but not sure what it's purpose was - thought maybe it was meant to hold excess bag length, but since it's a perfect circle, can't use it for that. Maybe it's meant to hold extra bags? Functionally, the garbage can works - the lid opens, bags hold garbage, so at least it fulfills it's purpose. In our case, we use this can as a food scraps/organics waste collector (like compostable paper towels, food, seeds, etc). First thing I noticed that annoyed me. Dropping a plum pit into the garbage missed and landed on the inside, back of the can. If you know plums pits and the surrounding plum tissue, you can't just pick them up - they squish and form smaller pieces. Trying to acquire it, it ended up falling through openings in the can/lid mechanism that left a trail of nastiness down the inside of the can and onto the floor. I had to remove the inside garbage bucket, clean the outside of the bucket, and the walls of the can, and then the floor. Tried adding some cleverly placed scotch tape to cover the opening, but it blocked the lid opening mechanism, and it that is blocked, your lid goes up and won't come back down. So I blocked some of the opening, but not all of it so that the lid would still work. Just need to be more careful with really messy items. Also, the lid doesn't open all the way straight up when using just the foot pedal. Feels more like it opens maybe 65* of the full 90* needed for being straight up. Since the garbage can is short, by design, for a tall person, it's a minor inconvenience to bend over to make sure things don't land on the lid instead of the garbage can. The can also shows smudges easily, but it my case, they smudge is easy to remove. Don't get me wrong - it works, holds our organic compostable scraps, holds standard 10 gallon bags (unlike some garbage cans that want you to buy their special bags), so I am satisfied with the can, just not the quirks I need to observe to use it. I'll survive, you will to. If you use this for paper scraps, tissue paper, paper towels, non-food stuff, the can would probably be great for that purpose. ... show more
