I was hoping to recycle more and thought having this would help. I was wrong. There are 2 problems with this. First the containers themselves are to small. When i purchased this i thought the 16 gal was per side, unfortunately it is for BOTH sides meaning the trash side is only 8 gal. I am used to a standard 13 gall kitchen can so i was emptying this one every day because it filled so fast. Secondly the design of the inside handle soon the pull out trash cans inside is poor. It does not fully side off to one side of the can so every time you pull out a full trash bag you have to fight to the trash past the handle. If you are the only person in your household and you do not us trash bags you may like this. It seems to be built well just too small and poor handle design for me. I would not recommend this for a family.

Pros are size, makes recycling easier with double removable bins, easy clean and understated design. Cons - none yet but the pedals are lighter than expected, however, the tops are light as well so the design works . For the $ spent, this works for my home.

Trash can worked as anticipated for about 8 months, and then last week the step lever snapped off. I epoxied it back on, that held, but then the lever it is attached to snapped as well. Disappointed in the poor quality - it's metal on the outside but every moving part is cheap plastic. Of course the warranty is only 30 days, that's all it is built to last for.

It is nice quality and has great visual appearance. Two things I wish were different: 1. I wish the actual cans held more trash. It makes for frequent trips to take out the trash and uses a lot of bags. 2. I wish the handles on the internal bins were on the outside. When you put a bag in, the bag covers the handle, therefore you have to pull the bag up before you can use the handle to remove the internal bin. If those two things were corrected... this would be the perfect trash receptacle.

Fits great in my kitchen and doesn’t take up a lot of space. The handles make it easy to remove the cans except if you have a full trash bag, then it can be a little tricky. It is stainless steel so if you like to keep the sheen on your stainless steel appliances I suggest getting a stainless steel cleaning spray. Overall I would suggest the Step N Sort to any and everyone.

This item was delivered with dents on both sides. If it can't hold up to being shipped in a box with styrofoam, it isn't going to hold up to my kids. It immediately started to show fingerprints as well. It's a nice feature to be able to open each side individually, but the bins are small and the bag wasn't going to stay put either.

Great product, cleans easily, I like the stickers that it comes with so you can differentiate between trash and recycling on the pedal. This has inner bins that are removable for easy disposal and cleaning. A little pricey but a great product For a family that goes through a lot of trash and recycling.

Nice product, good looking, works well. Really like the fact that the compartments for each bin are totally separate from each other. Any negatives? Minor ones...the stickers for the pedals are blah, the can sizes themselves could probably be a little bigger, and maybe a better way to hook the trash bags to the buckets. Overall though, very happy with the purchase!

This can has been working for us for over a year now! Fantastic option for trash and recycle. The foot petals have survived my 4 childrens constant use. Absolutely recommend it! It looks good. It has served us well, and continues to be used everyday. I wiped down with a lysol wipe or a babywipe when needed.

Pro: the chrome and black look, domed lids, light weight and fort control lever. Con: in the detail description it states the bins hold a 10 to 13 gal trash bag. So consequently I was expecting each bin to be that of a 13 gal trash bin. Wrong. They are closer to the original description of an 8 gal bin- each. If the removals let bins are removed that might give a little more room, but that defeats the purpose of removable bins. So I’ll deal with it until it becomes an inconvenience.
