I would absolutely buy this again.

I like everything about it. It looks nice in our kitchen and with its removable inner bins, I can use a trash bag on the trash side and no bag on the recycling side (our recycler doesn't want bags) making it a breeze to keep things separate and easy to empty. An added bonus is that the inner bins are super sturdy. I can compact the garbage side to my heart's content without deforming the bin, so the bag still slides out effortlessly.

Awesome for sorting recycling from landfill

I love this. I put a liner in the landfill side and use the other for recycling. The bins both come out, so you can clean them. We cut some slices into the shape of an asterisk in the landfill one so we can push the liner bag in to make it hold. So far the only complaints we have are that there is no way to open it with your hand and drop something in, and it is a little difficult to get the landfill bin out with a liner in it because it covers the handle.

Sleek looking, two good sized bins, great price.

We were looking for something to streamline our two separate garbage and recycling cans in our kitchen. This is perfect for us. Two large bins, both with handles for easy removal and emptying. Our normal 13 gallon trash bags fit fine and we haven't had a problem with bags falling down into the can. I'd seen similar items for around $200 and didn't really want to spend that much, so this was a great deal in my opinion.

Love this

Honestly this is exactly what our family needed to keep up with recycling. Keeps everything sorted, and separated and now no excuses to not recycle!! I still have my garbage in one area and this in another, one side paper, and the other plastics etc.. highly recommend.

Attractive, durable, quiet

This product met my expectations. It is holds the plastic kitchen bags nicely (I was afraid the white plastic might peek out, but it does not). It seems durable and appropriate for my kitchen application. When the lids open and close it is quiet. The product came with colored oval labels to add to the foot pedal to identify the contents of each can.

Great combo trash & recycle container!

I really like having both my kitchen trash can & recycle bin in a single container. The stainless steel exterior looks good in my kitchen. Great price too since the exact same combo unit was being sold by another vendor for $60 more. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Love it!

Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. We have a trash compactor, so this is perfect size to hold trash & recycle before popping in compactor.I will be using another reviewer's suggestion of getting bungee cord, as the only design flaw is that there is no way to secure garbage bag without impacting use of handle. MUCH cheaper than other brands I looked at. Very pleased with it!

Great concept and function

Works well, good quality, good size. Great solution for separating recycling from trash. Only design flaw is the container removal - I haven't figured out how to remove the internal container without touching the trash bag. That is, when you place the bag in the internal container, it covers the lifting handle.

Large but deceiving.

This is pretty large overall and I thought that the 16-gallon bins would be ample however, they are deep but only about a foot in diameter. I'm not sure how this will work for all of the kitchen garbage and recycle. Also, there is a handle to pull the bins out but it gets in the way of the plastic bag I put in. The unit itself is heavy and sturdy and won't tip when you step on it. I got it to go under our island counter and unfortunately the lid hits the underneath of the counter. We got stainless steel color to match our appliances and it looks nice. We will be keeping it and will work on the best placement and best bags. I see there are bags you can purchase for this so may look into that. It is attractive enough to have just sitting in the kitchen.

Thanks for your review. Understanding that most households don't want an overly large receptacle, we've worked hard to create large capacity bins in a small footprint! We're glad you're enjoying it.

Okay, but issues

I like the idea of the trash can a lot! Fits in the kitchen perfectly. Color good. Made decent. However, putting the trash bags in, and having them stay in place Stinks! Than you have to pull out the bag, and lift buy the handle, and if anything bulky in the bin, it gets stuck on the handle. There is no way to hold the bags in place. We tried removing the handle, and that doesn't work either. So someone needs to go back to doing more market research and using live people in home testing!

Hi Janet. We do have custom fit liners that have been specifically designed for this unit. They are Step N' Sort SAC model SAC002 and are a perfect snug fit each and every time. There should not be any real issue removing the bag when the handle is down and flush to the bin. We do recommend that you leave a little bit of room at the top of of the bag and try not to overfill.
