Love this trash can
on November 27, 2019

I purchased this for my bedroom and it’s the perfect size. One down side is the size J trash bags recommended don’t fit over the top of the can. These bags aren’t cheap so I was just disappointed about that fact. Make a bag to fit this can.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fits beside toilet very well

I like a trash can in the bathroom that has a lid yet easy to open. This fits well beside toilet however this is the second can that the latch on lid has broken, no glue will hold it.
Wish I could just get a new lid and not have to replace can.

Love the touch top feature

I purchased this can a few years ago to store dry dog food. It is the perfect size and I love the touch top feature. The price was good as well. The spring on the lid broke recently and I am having trouble locating a new can. I just reached out to customer service to see if I can get a replacement lid. Waiting to hear back. I think it was a good value for the money. I have seen other reviews saying the mechanism broke right away. That wasn’t my experience so I just wanted to write a review showing my experience with this great product!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Broken Lid
on January 14, 2026
Posted by: Ei19
Bought this wastebasket appropriately 6 weeks ago to use in laundry room. I live alone so don’t have much laundry; therefore, the wastebasket doesn’t get much use at all. Despite this, the grey push “button” on the lid broke. I love this can because it’s a great size but I’m not sure if I should purchase a replacement if the lid will break again. Thank you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappoining design flaw
on May 17, 2026

The trashcan looks nice. It fits easily in a smaller space and is easy to keep out of the way. However, I purchsed a lidded trashcan with my newly-adopted trash-picker dog in mind. This trashcan will NOT fit the bill. The lid does not snap in place; it merely rests on top of the can and can be easily knocked off by a nosy canine. It defeats the purpose of having a latch on the lid in the first place. I'm going to try hot-gluing the lid to the can. I mainly use it for office-type trash, not food scraps, so I don't use a trash bag in it anyway.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I will buy this one the next time I replace the kitchen can I have now. It will be a better fit for the space the old one is in. And that won't be long before I replace the old one!
