Latch doesn't last
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: TMKD
As with many other reviews, the lid latch breaks quickly/easily - looks to be a poor design - rending the trash can an "always open" thing. Wish they would sell the latch separately so it could be replaced.

Hi TMKD! Thank you for your feedback, and our apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced with your 7.5 Gal. TouchTop™ Wastebasket lid breaking. Customer satisfaction and product quality are very important to us. Please contact us directly at ConsumerTeam@sterilite.com so we can further assist you.
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 bought 2 of these wastebaskets and within a week or 2 the touch top lids on both broke!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this wastebasket about a year ago and worked great. However about 6 months ago the lid will not stay close. I don't want to buy a new lid if there is a way to fix this.

I want to love this bin. It is the perfect size, and we love the self-opening lid. Unfortunately, the lid is not sturdy. They lids keep cracking. We have gone through 4 lids in 7 months.

I like this trash bin because its the perfect size and fits in narrow spaces but the plastic hook to close the lid breaks after a week or so. I’m trying to find a REPLACEMENT but I can’t find it. I would hate to get another plastic container for that reason.

Hello Clara, thank you for reviewing the Sterilite 7.5 Gal TouchTop Wastebasket. We are sorry to hear about the inconvenience of the cover on the wastebasket. Please contact us directly at marketing@sterilite.com for further assistance.
I bought this several years ago for cat food storage but almost immediately the gray lid release broke. I continued to use this by placing a heavy object on the lid since I don’t access it that much, however, that defeats the purpose of having a locking lid.

Hello MW63, thank you for reviewing the 7.5 Gal TouchTop Wastebasket. And thank you for the image. Plastic is a durable material, however, it can break, chip, or crack during regular use.
