We loved our first one so much that we told people, "It's the best trash can ever!" The only negative, and it's a little one, is that the paint on the top faded quickly, but it's not enough that it stopped us from buying a second one! Several of our family and friends have bought them, too. But now I had to buy a new refrigerator and the can near it is too big, so I came to the site to buy one slightly smaller. Alas, they go from 3 gallons to 13, with nothing in between. I am so sad. (I tried to add pictures but it didn't work.)

We have used this bin in our kitchen for a year. It’s build quality and durability are both great but we are getting rid of it due to a massive design issue. The hinge is outside and sticks out from the bin. The lid sticks out behind that even further when it goes up. This means that you cannot have the bin against the wall. If you do it will not open without scraping and scuffing your wall. It’s so unfortunate that they didn’t do a design with the hinge inside. If you don’t need the bin to be within three inches of a wall you are good, but if you have it anywhere that it will be close to a wall be prepared to see wall damage.

Packaging was fine but the can has a scratch on the lid and smudges on the lid that will not come off with microfiber. Packaging selected if a problem don't return to the store, contact them directly. I sent them an email. First response was we received your email. Then nothing.

Purchased two of these in charcoal color. Top inside lid is rusting around the lip. These cans were used in the kitchen under normal wear and tear. One is garbage. One is Recycle. Tried to return to Sam's Club in Riverview, FL where they were purchased, they stated that that they are not covered under the Sam's warranty listed on this product page which states: "Return this item for a full refund or replacement at anytime. Restrictions apply. Read the full policy." I contacted Tramontina but have not received a response yet. I do not recommend this product.

Love the colors

Nice size and elegant trash cN in the bronze. It has an inner trash can loner to pull out and keep bag on inside but I put mine old style way for first use. It was tight but worked. It looks elegant in my bronze accented kitchen. I am soooo glad I went ahead and brought this trash can. The price was more than I wanted to pay but much more reasonable than other trash cans made like this! Thanks

Very disappointed in the performance of this rather pricy trash can. The foot step opener broke with only gentle use. I loved it until the hands free lever failed. I cannot see a broken part but heard a snap first on one side of the foot pedal and a week later on the other side.

This is a great looking can and I loved it but after a few months it broke. The regular use of the the pedal broke the plastic piece that it is attached to and the lid could no longer be opened by it. Also, not repairable. We tried to use a plastic bonding material but that too broke loose after a few days. Now I have to buy another can. Not happy.

I like the shape of the can- it fits close to the wall, and the fact that opening the lid is hands free. Unfortunately the foot pedal opening mechanism just doesn't hold up. The last 2 purchased have failed within months of purchase and upon examination, the plastic mechanism connecting the lid to the foot pedal has been made so cheaply that it is destined to fail. We have been purchasing this trash can for a number of years and previous ones took 2 or more years to break- the latest ones fail within months. I will not be purchasing this anymore and am researching for replacements that have a lid that does not require opening with hands.

I own two and don't hesitate to recommend these to others. The only thing I'd suggest is to place a 6" 2x2 (or two square ABC-type blocks) between the can and the wall so the lid mechanism doesn't wear a groove in your wall when someone repeatedly pushes the can while stepping on the lever. I didn't have any issues while living by myself, but had my roommate couldn't step on the levers without pushing the can into the wall.... Problem fixed, but sharing. :) Easy to swap 13 gallon bags when needed, and I sometimes pull the insert out to put near the counter when chopping lots of vegetables at once. Highly recommend. Love the Tramontina trash cans!!
