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.

Good quality

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.

We've had this trashcan for 3 months. Never letting the trash to get so full, causing it to touch the top of the lid. However, the inside of the lid is already starting to rust. Making it look gross. To combat this I've taken some shelf lining sticky paper and put it on the top of the inside of the lid. Looks better than the rust. Not what I'd expect for the price.

We bought this trash can and really like the looks of it, but after some time we noticed that the foot petal wasn't quite working right and over time it just got worse. Today I flipped the trash can over to see if I could figure out what the problem was. I discovered that the foot pedal was actually cracking along the pivot bar. I guess the pressure over time just made it start to crack. You would think that the foot petal would have been reinforced by a metal plate instead of just being plastic.

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.

Foot pedal was broken.

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.

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.

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
