Design & Aesthetics

Pros:

• "The overall look is very slick and beautiful."

Cons:

• "The lid does not stay up unless you hold down the pedal."
• "First thing was the cover that goes over the a whole bin, didn't actually seal right due to bowing or bending of the plastic lip."
• "The lid doesn’t lock in ‘up’ position when I need it to, as advertised."
• "Also, the product sticker on the front was HUGE and it used SUPER adhesive which is silly."
• "The only complain I have, that is the top of can getting scratched way to easy, even if you trying to be super soft on cleaning job."
• "The raised liner and rim-lock are an insulting joke at best."
• "The sides of the can—which are simply brushed sheet metal—were less protected than its top and bottom, results in the two back edges/corners being dented in."

Functionality & Features

Pros:

• "There are grooves for hooking the bag handles around that hold the bag in place AND secures it completely out of sight when the can is closed!"
• "The opening latch mechanism works well in opening and closing and inserting and removing liners is easy."
• "It’s the best reminder to recycle; really has you pause to think about which compartment it belongs in."
• "The inserts are very easy to remove and reinstall."
• "It's extremely sturdy, easy to change the liner and fits a surprising amount."
• "The foot lever to open it works well and so far has held up."
• "The lid is a great feature for anyone who just doesn’t like looking at their trash."

Cons:

• "Ordered a “like new” product. It has big dents & a crack along to top rim where the lid opens."
• "Although they advertise that dogs will have a hard time to get into this trash can. My miniature chihuahua was able to get into it without a hitch."
• "Trash bags do not fit interior containers."
• "The bins themselves are obnoxious to remove from the container if they have any weight in them at all."
• "The liner holder mechanism (over the top latch) does not do that great of a job holding the trash liner in place."
• "Nice looking trash can, but the pedal doesn’t have any dampening to stop the lid hitting the back side of the wall."
• "The foot pedal will really be tested, as I find myself opening the lid a lot. But it feels sturdy and well made, and in any case carries a lifetime guarantee."

Quality & Durability

Pros:

• "It's of excellent quality and very solid."
• "We’ve had this trash can for a while now. The finish still looks brand new."

Cons:

• "However, it came with a huge dent in the back."
• "Unfortunately ours came with 3 dents so we have returned it."
• "Showed up dented exactly like others. I wasn’t going to deal with any headaches asking for a replacement - so I dealt with the dent."
• "Arrived without protective packaging. Had a dent, scratch on top, protective rubber from the step was off and so was the protective rubber on one of the legs."
• "I love this trashcan but it dents really easy."
• "This trash can is a waste of money! We have only been using it a few months since redoing our kitchen. My family are super careful and this thing is broke already!"
• "The trash can arrived with big dent and now I have to drag this big box to UPS store."

Size & Capacity

Pros:

• "It looks nice but it is small (for a family of 4)."
• "This can is a perfect fit in our guest bathroom between our vanity and commode."
• "I have a small kitchen & was really pleased to find a slimline receptacle with a foot pedal that also opens from end to end as opposed to the normal front to back."
• "This is such a nice size! It’s got a recyclable bin and regular bin which saves space."
• "The 8-gal Kohler stainless steel trash can is the perfect size for under my desk."
• "It fits perfect in the corner."
• "It looks very slick and sleek and is the perfect size for a couple or small family sharing a bathroom, because it will hold enough trash for the week until the next trash day."

Cons:

• "The dual compartment style is unlikely to suit a large household as the blue and black plastic containers are only 5.5 gallons."
• "The twin bins in this cleverly designed trash can are just too narrow and inconvenient to use on a daily basis."
• "The dual containers are quite small and I often felt I was wasting the chance to properly fill up a full liner full of trash."
• "Also, since the space is narrow things have to be folded or crumpled to fit into the bin which causes it to fill quickly since things can not lay flat."
• "The compartments are a little toooo small."
• "I mean a crushed gallon milk jug may or may not fit that opening, definitely not holding more than a few empty two liters and a milk at a time."
• "If you have a larger family and use gallon sized containers or even the large sized juice or soda bottles, this will not work for you."
