2 different sized bins very convenient for recycli

We are using it for recycling and the different sized bins are handy, using the bigger one for aluminum and plastic and the smaller one for glass containers which we don’t use nearly as much

Modern and Durable

This helps me keep the recyclables where they belong and not in a separate bag or container in the kitchen. It replaced the same one from Simple Human that I had for almost 10 years except the trash side was larger. Durable and modern.

Great for recycling

If you have more recycling than trash, this is the perfect can

the best

We love this trash can so much! We live in a 1br and our kitchen has a small eating area that was feeling overwhelmed by our trash/recycling setup. This can has streamlined everything and transformed the space. It is SO tidy and a pleasure to use. And it's so pretty! We tend to it like it's a sports car haha. The design is intuitive and convenient. It's expensive, but if you have the money, it's worth it.

Well made.

Well made. However I switched my recycle and trash sides. The trash side was awfully small. Maybe it’s to encourage you to have less trash? But I love how sleek it feels in my small kitchen.

Not bad, but not wonderful

Overall, it is a nice trash can. Cleans easy, doesn’t get finger smudges. The major draw back is the need to use special brand trash bags. If you try to use regular trash bags, even ones with the correct volume, the lid won’t close all the way. The design requires you to tuck the top of the trash bag over the side of the lid, but doesn’t give an easy way to secure it, so the bag can bunch up abs once again the lid can’t close. I would find another option.

Tiniest compartment for trash

I was so excited for this trash can when ordering it, but my hatred for the tiny space for the actual trash has trumped it all. I love the larger space for the recycling but come on! We all need a little more space for the trash. We've only had it for 3 days and I'm already so beyond frustrated with this thing! I've had to take out the little trash just about every day and we only have one little one, I can't imagine a family of 4 or 5. I can't even empty out my vacuum canister without dirt getting everywhere because the canister is bigger than the tiny trash receptacle!

Don't waste your money

If it offered a zero I would give it a zero . I read reviews before purchase and can't believe how off they were. Small cans, specialized bags...no way. Not easy to use and very cumbersome. Did away with the inserts to utilize the whole can and had to cut a plastic middle divider. Interior can not lined so if there is a bag leak it will be messy.

Custom sizes needing custom bags - bad idea

Horrible design to have special sized containers needing custom sized bags. Wish I had paid better attention before I bought it. Trash can size much too small.
