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 loved this garbage can until I didn't. Stopped working several months after purchase. I thought it was a great can... so I foolishly tried again. The next can also broke in the same area. It is cheap plastic that is used in the foot push to the metal bars that lift the can lid. The plastic wore down and broke on two cans after a few months of use. I might be wrong, but I expected it to last at least 5 years. LOL truthfully, I wanted it to last forever.

I’m so unhappy with my purchase. You step on the foot pedal gently, yet it flys open smacking the counter above. I’ve moved it further and further away to prevent this, so it basically has to sit in the middle of the room. In addition, the finger prints!! Constantly cleaning this thing! It’s maddening! Total waste of money!

I bought one of the in red a few years ago. Ever time I wipe it off with my sponge and dishwater, a little of the red finish comes off. I have places that it is down to the bare metal. I can’t remember what I paid for it, but I’m on here looking for another trash can and was shocked these are still being sold. Mine looks very crappy because of the finish. I would not recommend.

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.

The only thing I wish it did was stay open if need be.

Very pretty trash can, feels heavy duty and has a slow quite close. Very functional!

It's a trash can. The step for the lid to open works.

Larger than it looks, easy open lid, simple bag removal/replacement and looks great in the space
