  • Really functional and a super value
Size: 40 Liter
This makes motorized compactors look really dumb. If you've ever owned an electric motorized trash compactor, you might know what I'm talking about. I've never found them to be worth much because they're so expensive, need special bags, and I've had bad luck with them breaking. They also don't work like regular trash cans. Not the case with this! I was really surprised at how much you can compact trash just by hand. Maybe not as much as a motorized one, but VERY close and for a lot less money. This trash can is very well-designed without being too gimmicky. There's another one I saw that looked good, but you needed to buy special bags and this was available at a better price (open box). There's smart touches like high-density foam underneath the handle on the top, where your knuckles might otherwise get bruised. It's very well thought-through. It's also just a well-designed step can, crushing aside. I was afraid the lid might be too heavy, but everything works great. It's also very nice-looking, as trash cans go. I think it's a great value; it's as nice as fancy stainless trash cans people regularly pay $100 that are JUST step cans. It looks and feels like a quality step can, so you can use it just like you would any other durable step can this size. You can definitely just use regular kitchen trash bags with this. It might be a good idea to get bags that are a little heavier weight (pushing the trash around is going to stress the bag more), but I haven't had much trouble with using good quality drawstring bags (nothing special). I bought this open-box/returned, and it was dented in the front (I knew this when buying it). With that being said, it must've gone through something crazy because I wouldn't say it's easy to dent, at all. All of the materials are heavy gauge; it's sturdier than I was expecting it to be, even if I had paid full price. I've had it for a month or two and it feels like the kind of thing that's not going to break easily. My only complaint is that the inner can that holds the trash bag in place is a bit flimsy. That was damaged in my open-box unit as well, and unlike the dent in the front, I could definitely see why that happened. The plastic on these parts is a bit too thin and whoever had it before me had broken it. It still works to hold the bag, though, so that's a bit impressive, in a way. It's the only part of it I think would be likely to break under normal circumstances, and if it does it still works just fine! All in all, this is great. It's really surprising how much room you can save just by manually compacting the trash, and it's a really good trash can, those qualities aside. ... show more

  • ABSOLUTELY love this trash can!
Size: 40 Liter
This can is life, and worth EVERY penny! I can’t count the number of times I have pushed trash down in my can and gotten something disgusting on my hands, and it doesn’t push the trash down far. This actually compacts the trash by giving you something stronger than your hand to press in with. Love love love! I will say I have fingerprints all over mine so it’s not fingerprint proof! But I don’t care!!! ... show more

  • This will save you money, save you time and save your relationship.
Size: 40 Liter
Tired of having your spouse tell you to take out the garbage when you’re already half way out the door? Many an argument have been caused by the burden of taking out ones rubbish receptacle. Sure, this little miracle of a garbage can will save you lots of money by limiting the amount of garbage bags you’ll need to buy... but the real magic is this little cans ability to not ruin ones life. How might you ask? Simple. Before this can entered my life I went through 4 garbage bags a week. With those 4 bags came 4 trips to the big garbage can I keep near the garage. I know many of you out there either get told to take out the garbage or do the telling. And I know many of you hate taking it out because the one telling you to do it probably loves bossing you around. With this can I now use 1 bag per week. I take 1 trip per week to the big can I keep near the garage on the day the garbage man comes to pick it up. I buy One 50 count box of the scented white bags which will now last me 50 weeks... or 2 weeks shy of a year. The black bears that used to destroy my outside garbage can (and leave me a mess scattered all over the yard to clean up) do not like this new can because there is nothing for them to rummage through anymore. Maybe you don’t have bears where you live but you do have a bossy partner. Take back your freedom and take away the pleasure of being a miserable bossy person to your lovely significant other. Buy this can. Save your relationship. Save your money. Stop giving dangerous wildlife a reason to visit your home. ... show more

  • A week's worth of garbage, smashed into one bag!
Size: 40 Liter
A week's worth of trash smashed down into one bag? Yeah, it totally happened! I didn't think this product would work, but I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. It's a clean, sleek design that fits well in our house, sturdy construction, smooth operation. The liner inside the trash can is thick and has handles to help remove the garbage without getting your hands dirty. The pedal is easy to press and the lid closes slowly. I was worried the tamper being part of the lid would mean we'd smell garbage, but it's done a great job locking in any unpleasant odors. My only complaint is that the tamper is a tad difficult to get to stick back in place. You have to hold the lid down with one hand while pulling up on the handle pretty hard to get it to click into place. My youngest daughter has some problems with this, so sometimes we find the tamper has fallen on top of the trash, leaving a hole in the lid. Yuck. This is a small ding to the overall product design, but it's significant enough to cause an issue so I knocked one star off for that. Overall, awesome product! It was really weird to see only one bag in our huge garbage can on collection day! ... show more
