the trash can seemed well designed and it lasted is for a few years but the design flaw is the pedal. the stupid thing is made of thin plastic with a metal cover. so of course it broke from stepping on it over and over and over again. I don't know why it's not made entirely metal.

I don't really care for this trash can. The lid only stays open when the foot pedal is pressed (no way for it to stay open on its own). This makes it difficult when changing the bag, because when the foot pedal is depressed, it takes a lot of finagling to properly get the inner can into the bin. Also, the inside of the lid is rusting, which is... odd. I honestly wish I hadn't bought it, but I'd thrown the box away as soon as I unpacked it because I really didn't think I'd be returning a trash can. Eventually I'll tire of it and buy something else, but right now I'm not about to waste the over $50 I paid for it.

Very nice looking, and I like the inside liner that you can take out and have nearby when you are preparing ingredients. However, the pedal does not last - it is plastic on the bottom of the unit, and it cracks. So the pedal is useless, you'll need to open the top yourself after a while. I contacted Tramontina a few months ago and they said they would get back to me. They did not.

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.

Bought 2 if these and the color on lids just peels off. This is the 2nd replacement of the lids and the same exact thing is happening. Must be a manufacturer defect in the finish. Do not buy this trash can in a colored finish or it will look like this is less than a year.

While the exterior of the trash can remains pristine, the under side of the lid is rusting. I reached out via email to the manufacturer, Tramontina, several times over the past week. Their first response was a very genetic one, listing the various reasons why rust occurs: *trash can be located in a services area with higher humidity and lower frequency maintenance/disposalwaste is not taken out on a regular basis *waste touching the lid *lid not being wiped on a regular basis *gases produced by organic waste is corrosive therefore it can cause rust. They then asked how long ago I purchased it. Although I immediately replied, I have yet to hear back from the. I followed up with two emails.

Beautiful rose gold

I purchased this with reservations due to the reviews. Well, it is cheap! It's not painted. It's tinted stainless steel. I bought the red one, which was beautiful. But that tint comes right off. Will not hold up to normal wear & tear. Extremely disappointed.

The foot lever broke after a couple of months. We began using the other side of the step extra gently and got a few more months out of it. Finally, it snapped completely rendering it useless. I contacted Tramontina CS and their response was to buy the foot mechanism for 17$. I asked them about the warranty due to the short time it lasted. They simply said they wouldn't and that I would need to buy the part myself. It was so rude.

Foot pedal was broken.
