This is a lovely, classy unit. All our appliances are the stainless steel finish so this matches perfectly. We have already had compliments for it from visitors. It is a nice size. It is very sturdy and well made. The bin for recycle is a bit on the smallish size, so it needs to be emptied more often, due to the largish size of most recycling. Tall kitchen garbage bags fit the bins perfectly. We did add drawer knobs/pulls to the top lids of the bin. We found that, at times, it would be more convenient to be able to lift the lids, as opposed to stepping on the step-peddles. It would be nice if that was an added feature but not a biggie, as installing some "knobs" is not much to do. We would recommend.

I only have this item for about a month but so far it works great, the material is pretty decent, and the pedal works great, the lid doesn't open too quickly which is good so it doesn't hit my wall abruptly. The length and width is a perfect fit for my kitchen, since it's not bulky at all. The inside containers comes out without any hassle, and the 16-gallon is a good size for my family. I had a hard time finding a 2 compartment trash bin that I liked in stores, I'm glad I found it here.

The unit looked good and I liked having both recycling and trash in same container. But when you try to empty the trash by removing the plastic trash sack, there was a strange wire container holder that constantly got caught on trash items as you pulled the bag out of the trash bin. You could remove it, but then it was very difficult to get any leverage to pull out the trash bag.

This product will last you about 2 years. So decide if you want to spend $80 every 2 years OR $200 on a nicer one that will last 10 years. So now, I am into a waste disposal system for $280, when I really should have coughed up the extra money 2 years ago and bought the nicer one. But if your truly only looking to spend on the low end, this is a great system. Its functional and has good durability. I actually wish they sold the black inserts separately because that's the part that needs to be replaced. the plastic has broke into lots of little pieces.

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.

My husband and I are very pleased with both the style of this trash can as well as the roomy capacity. It fits in well with our kitchen decor while making it simple to keep our trash and recyclables sorted. Our daughters were over recently and after seeing the trash can are now both interested in purchasing one.

Great idea but super flimsy chesp material. The foot peddle looks bent after one use. Every time you step on it, it pushed the aluminum fromt panel (not stainless steel) my last trash can was lasted over 7 years i just felt it was time for a new one. I dont see this lasting over a month Im returning and spending a little more off of a 100% stainless steel one on Amazon

I was hoping to increase my recycling efforts with this dual trash/ recycling center​. Alas, the 8 gal capacity is a bit deceiving when considering the design; I would guesstimate that it holds half that size. It looks great and I like the concept, but too small for even a singleton to get much use of.

We've owned this for 7 months. First off I did love the sleekness of the exterior, hence the second star. However, it all goes down hill from there. The thing has no bottom, so the floor underneath gets filthy. The "handles" to help pull the inner buckets out are just in the way, and after 3 days they fell off. The lid does not stay open, you have to keep your foot on the pedal, but, if you keep your foot on the pedal the bucket wont go back into the slot correctly and said lid won't close all the way. Bringing us full circle to the act of actually putting the bags into the can. My husband would rather spend the day with his mother in law, than change the bags in this can, due to how difficult it is. Add to the fact that once you do actually get them on the bin 15 years later, after losing 40lbs due to stress and sweat, they fall into the can on the first signs of any trash in them. Don't do it, pretty sure me buying this trash can made my husband reconsider why he married me, and how much sanity I actually possess. Save yourself the headache, just don't do it.

Garbage bags are hard to put on...they don't stay on because of the tight fit of the bin and end up coming up and off. Would not be able to just toss garbage in without bag falling in with the garbage...too mush hassle. I just got it today took it out to set up and put it right back in the box
