It's absolutely not smudge resistant, its easy to smudge like any stainless steel maybe even more so. The quite close is quiet until the last second then the lid shuts with a "bomp" Otherwise it's a really nice looking garbage can and the step works well, the slow close is slow until the last 2" then "bomp" 4 stars it will do

I really wanted this trash can in black as the silver one they had in store looked beautiful. I ordered it online in black and unfortunately 3 times it came dented/scratched. I ordered a replacement for the 4th time and again… dented but I don’t want to call anymore as it may happen again, so just look carefully!

Ordered in red, disappointed it looks more orange. Noted a scratch on the lid but decided to keep it. Had I not recycled the box, I would return it. The first time used, soft closed fine. Every time after use, the soft close works so far down then drops making an annoying noise. It serves it's purpose.

It does exactly what you want it to, opens when you step on it. When researching this trash can I saw a number of reviews stating their step pedal broke within 6 months and I have no idea how they managed that. It's a 1/4 inch metal bar, so long as youre not jumping on it like a trampoline it won't break. Simple design.

I have now bought this trashcan two times. The first trashcan I bought lasted two years before the step to open the lid broke. I purchased it again thinking maybe I just bought a defected one for it to one last 2 years. The second one I bought lasted less than a year. The same thing happened I went to go step on the lever to open up the lid and it broke.

Works well. I definetly love the slow closing lid. It looks good. I love the fact that you can't leave any finger prints on it, and it's easy to clean. The foot pedal is wide enough. Most definetly recommend this item. Item arrived earlier than expected and in good condition.

I love the trash can. But i bought the red and it is NOT red. It is more copper color. Like someone else wrote, like a burnt orange. I bought it to match other appliances and its not even close to red color, that is why 4 stars and not 5. Going to keep it, but a bit disappointed.

Love this trash can. Received a Red one for Christmas and it’s absolutely beautiful. I love it. It comes with a refresher that fits into the lid to keep the can smelling nice that you replace every 60 days. Also, the inside “liner” is removable for easy cleaning if needed. It fits a 13 gallon trash bag better than any trash can I’ve ever owned also!

The main reason that I bought this metal, self-closing trash can was to keep the dogs from raiding the trash. No other trash can works for this purpose. It closes softly and the blue is pretty, if a trash can, can be pretty. No you cannot put it flush to the wall or the lid opens and hits the wall. The hard plastic liner lifts up to remove the 13 gallon kitchen trash bag which fits on it. This was the best price for a quality metal trash can. I have now ordered a second one.

The feature I least enjoy is the small opening under the lid that allows trash to collect. I fold and stuff a plastic shopping bag in space to keep from having to clean out debris from trash that misses the bag. Recently, a loud pop occurred, when using foot lever, which resulted in lid slamming trash away. The foot lever is useless. So disappointed, color matched my black stainless steel appliances.
