Overall we like this side by side trash/recycling can. The only two critiques are that it would be nice if the lid remained open a little longer after stepping on the foot pedal because once you let off the foot pedal, that lid is coming down fast. If the design allowed for a slow close lid, it would be the perfect item! The other thing to be mindful of is the 16 gallon capacity means finding the perfect size bag a bit challenging. The standard kitchen trash can size is 13 gallons so they are the most readily available bags in the stores. They will work, but they aren't the ideal size for this can. Despite these two things, this side by side can is great! We really like the convenience of having the all in one design and it seems to be well built.

Love my new trash! I’m able to have in the open kitchen and it looks nice. Having the double bins is awesome for trash and one side recycle. The pedal and lid make it easy to throw things away with full hands. Being able to use the handle and remove the bin out comes in very handy to dump recycles. Definitely recommend. My only issue is I’m surprised it’s $100 for a trash barrel but compared to other websites i guess thats just what they are. I would have expected it to be around $60 range

So far we like it.. It looks sleek, works like it says and the bins go in and out easily. It arrived fast and undamaged. The only things we don’t love is the size of the bins (we previously had a 13 gallon can with no lid so this holds about half (8 gallon) and there’s no easy way to open the lids without using the foot pedal. But other than that, we’re happy with the purchase.

It arrived dented but that is not hard to do. It says stainless steel, but not steel durability as the name would imply. It is very flimsy. The slightest touch dents the can. With a touch or a slight bang, the dent comes out because it is a soft finish. I feel the can is over-priced.

So far so good. I have had it about a week. I am happy to not have recycling cluttering the countertops because everyone would leave it for me to take out to our bins. Yay! The can is a bit shorter than my previous garbage can and is only a bit wider. I feel it is overpriced and am concerned the steps for opening each side will not last- they don’t seem very strong. I knew when I bought it that each bin would be smaller than the 13 gallon bin I am used to. I don’t mind taking out the trash more often. I would love it if each could be 13 gallon though. At this time I am happy with the purchase (I have never been so excited about getting a garbage can). I did not rate higher because I do feel it is over priced and don’t feel the quality is what it should be. I hope it will last!

There are handles to get the different compartments out, however when you put a trash bag in they cover the handles and you can’t get the trash bag out (without touching the inside) without the handles The other downside is the inability to get the lids to stay open.

I bought this can 2.5 years ago and still absolutely love it. It was one of my favorite purchases in our [at the time] new home. The size is perfect, it looks really nice and high end, and works fins without any problems from everyday use for all this time. We are so happy with our purchase.

The main reason I will be returning is because it is not fingerprint resistant. If you had kids at home, don't bother-- it'll look a mess quickly. We had a 16L garbage before and this one doesn't seem to fit much more. The pedals are also very, very stiff. It does look nice out of the box though.

Excellent trash can, durable construction easily wipes clean. Removable recycled plastic interior bins means I can say goodbye to single use plastic trash bags, environmentally proactive. Piece of cake to hose out and put back. Hands free operation with no electronics to potentially fail, no batteries to wind up in a land fill. Highly recommend. Fits perfectly under the end of my kitchen island.

A year later and it's still holding strong! If you have a bigger household you might need something bigger, this is perfect for my small kitchen in my tiny apartment and there's only two of us there. There's been no malfunctions or issues w/this garbage can and you can't beat the price!
