  • Finally a Winner!
Color: Black Stainless Steel
I can’t tell you how relieved I am for this trash can to have worked out! I had to return two others before this and I’m still so in love with it! We needed a 13 gallon step trash can. I wanted pretty much any color but white and it didn’t *have* to be stainless, though I quickly discovered there aren’t many “nice” looking plastic ones. We were replacing a simplehuman plastic step can because the step broke. I considered trying the new motion sensor cans but in the end wasn’t confident enough in the longevity of them (and/or didn’t want to spend a fortune). The first trash can we tried was the simplehuman 50 Liter / 13.2 Gallon Kitchen Step Garbage Can, Brushed Stainless Steel. It was nice, but it made us realize we need a flat top for putting things down like my husband’s work cooler when filling/emptying it. Aside from that we got a defective one - the lid wouldn’t close completely and therefore odors escaped. The next can we tried was the Glad GLD-74506 Stainless Steel Step Trash Can with Clorox Odor Protection. This had what looked like a flat plastic lid; it was plastic… but not completely flat. I also should’ve double checked the dimensions - it was shocking how short it was. lol We still gave it a shot…but after two weeks the lid stopped closing. Then I found this one. I was slightly hesitant to purchase it since some people complained about damage but I was so sick of researching trash cans by that point it was worth a shot! Our small rubber pad under the step came off somewhat immediately as well, but I’m okay with gluing that. It’s been working wonderfully and looks amazing. I ended up putting a small piece of decorative shelf liner on top to protect the stainless from scratches from hub’s cooler etc. It closes quietly and completely, keeping all odors where they should be. Removing the inner liner to replace the trash bags is simple and easy. Our regular 13gal. trash bags fit perfectly, and despite not having excess to put in the hole provided the bag stays put and hidden. Overall this trash can was worth every penny! I hope it holds up for years to come but I’ll be sure to update if it doesn’t! ... show more

  • Nice, needed to add a piece for easy open access
Color: White Stainless Steel
Beautiful trash bin, pretty resilient from dents on the top lid, in my kitchen and the position of the bin, I had to add a little piece for easy open access. Snaps into place. Designed on my own and printed. Koehler, hit me up.

  • Perfect for a White Kitchen
Color: White Stainless Steel
I absolutely love this 13-gallon white trash can! The clean white color matches my white kitchen perfectly and looks so sleek and modern. It blends in beautifully and doesn’t look bulky at all. I’m very happy with this purchase!

  • Very sleek and modern. Holds a lot.
Color: White Stainless Steel
The capacity of these cans is great. The rectangular design makes them space-saving and far less obtrusive than alternatives. They open and close easily with a foot press and have a removable inner shell that allows for easy cleaning. I bought two – one for trash and one for recycle. I love the modern design and shows white, which blends in to the wall color. They contain food smells well and have held up exceptionally well in a family that gives them a lot of use. Only downside: the metal will dent if you kick it or bump it into a wall. ... show more

  • Better check - they come with dents. For this price there should be non
Color: Black Stainless Steel
You may have to return one or two before you get an undented one. The first one had dents in 3 corners. No damage to the box though, so someone took a returned item and tried to push it off on me. The second one, a replacement, was much better, although I noticed a small dent in one corner at the bottom, but it was much less noticeable, and I was tired of returning trash cans. Again, no damage to the box, so someone probably had returned that one too, but they succeeded because I went ahead and kept it. Aside from the dent, the finish is very nice and the color (black stainless) does match the appliances pretty well. Dinged 1 star for the ding in the lower corner of the replacement trash can. ... show more

  • Look Great!
Color: Black Stainless Steel
This is a very nice can. Looks and function are great. Pricey in comparison to others but it is a Kohler product so I know if there is ever a problem, it will be addressed. I assumed 13 gallon tall trash bags would fit well and was glad to know that they do. All in all, just what I wanted.

  • Perfect trash can
Color: White Stainless Steel
It's the perfect trash can. Every other trash can has quirks, but this one takes care of them all and looks smart to boot. It sounds really weird to like a trash can, even weirder to then go online and recommend it, but it's just a perfect trash can and if you think about it, there aren't a lot of things you can own that you can say is actually "perfect." ... show more
