Umbra Skinny Kitchens Offices Bathrooms Reviews Summary

Design and Size

Pros:

• "I like the oval design. It fits in more spaces than the traditional square or rectangle."
• "Looks good and fits into a fraction of the space used by a conventional round bin."
• "The narrow shape fits well between the toilet and vanity."
• "The baskets fit in tight spaces like between the toilet and a wall or tub with room to spare so they don't make the space feel crowded."
• "Has narrow footprint and slick inside for easy cleaning."
• "The thin design of this trash can allows you slip it easily into spaces you wouldn't usually be able to with a more traditional round can."
• "Skinny and tucks right in between the wall and the toilet."

Cons:

• "It's pretty thin so it won't take up much space, and even though it's fairly thin the plastic feels pretty sturdy and feels of good quality."
• "Much skinnier than I expected. It does the job as a trash can but is not wide at all, the pictures don’t depict this well."
• "This skinny trash can is very narrow and does not hold big particles. In my humble opinion; It is only designed for small paper or tissue."
• "Nice color but the odd skinny shape makes it difficult to keep a trash liner in it without it slipping down each time I throw something away."
• "The major downside is the shape. It makes it super hard to tie off the bags and hold them in."
• "It's a bit larger than I thought, but really skinny which is good."
• "The slim design takes up less space than a regular waste basket."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Quality made."
• "It is sturdy and the sleek design makes it appear far more costly than it is."
• "It's made from nice heavy plastic not thin cheap stuff."
• "Good plastic quality - not worried about it breaking."
• "The material is sturdy and does not feel cheap, the handle is great and makes it super simple to cart around."
• "The plastic is sturdy."
• "They are high-quality and made in Canada."

Cons:

• "I love the look of this trash can, but it feels really cheap and plastic."
• "Thought it would look modern in my newly renovated bathroom, but you get what you pay for. Really cheap looking plastic."
• "However, the rounded bottom has cracked in both."
• "Of the three that I bought a few years ago, two were scuffed and one had a crack in the bottom and a chip missing from the top."
• "However, the bottom of the can (the bowl part) cracked not long after using it under normal household conditions."
• "The bottom is rounded for easy cleaning, but then there are small raised spots in the bottom that prohibit easy cleaning."
• "The only problem is that all 3 now have cracks of various sizes in the bottom... the cracks in the bottom shouldn’t happen."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "The handle makes it easy to move around and it fills a need stylishly at an incredibly low price."
• "Perfect price and does the job."
• "The price was right, with a color array to coordinate with most bath decors."
• "It was a little pricey for a small waste basket but a previous seller reneged on his shipment at a cheaper price so we decided it was worth it to pay more to get this attractive little trash can."
• "It's an awesome price."
• "The affordable price is great for this product as well."
• "Very good value, and it is nice to have a variety of colors to choose from."

Cons:

• "Also, if you use a supermarket plastic bag as trash bags, these trash cans will give you a hard time fitting bags to the brim."
• "It was a pretty inexpensive can, so I guess you get what you pay for."
• "But I keep buying it because it is cheap. So if you don’t mind replacing it every few months it’s worth the price I suppose."
• "I don't mind the product...just feel that I overpaid. I found it recently, locally for the same price."
• "I couldn’t believe how expensive trash cans were on Amazon. This one for $6.49 was still more cash than I was expecting to shell out, but it works to hold trash and fits nicely in the bathroom."
• "I received these bathroom trash cans and nowhere did it say in the description that they were plastic. After spending $38.30 for them and then it will be another $7 to return them I guess I paid $45 for 3 plastic trash cans."
• "Only have for 1 month & the bottom broke, leaving about a 2” hole…put heavy duty tape over it."
