Latch is defective so top continually opens on its own. Product top will not stay closed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Angrybuyer! We are sorry to hear the inconvenience of the lid breaking on your 13 Gal. TouchTop™ Wastebasket. Product quality and customer service are very important to us. Please reach out to us at Consumer-Team@sterilite.com for further assistance.
This was given to me about 8 or 9yrs ago as a Christmas present for my new apartment. I still have it, however yesterday the lid slipped out of my hand and it broke, hoping I can order another lid.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 13-gallon touch top wastebasket is amazing! The touch lid opens effortlessly with just a tap, which makes throwing away trash quick and hygienic. It’s roomy enough for a busy kitchen or office, and the modern design fits perfectly with my decor. Sturdy, easy to clean, and no more smudges on the lid. Highly recommend!
Where can I get a new lid? The spring is missing on mine.

Hello Neenie, we are very sorry to hear that about the 13 Gal TouchTop Wastebasket. Product quality is very important to us and we will pass your feedback on to the team. Please contact the retailer you purchased it from and request a refund or exchange.
When I bought this, I was happy as it functioned easily and quietly. However shortly after the grey latch part stopped working. I have been looking unsuccesfully for a replacement lid and came across these reviews. I wish I saw them before I bought it, because now Im stuck with a non functioning bin because of the lid!! Im disappointed
