Rubbermaid Commercial 10 Gallon Deskside Rectangular Reviews Summary

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "Bought it to match the size of my office trash can. It is the perfect size and I'm so happy I've finally found one this size."
• "Perfect size, color, and sturdiness I use this as a trash bin in the kitchen as I hardly produce any trash so the size is right."
• "Decent sized trash can for our kitchen, but it doesn't take up too much room."
• "It is 20 inches tall, and the top is 15 inches by 11 inches... This means it is rather large as a desk trash can, but appropriate."
• "This recycle bin is the perfect size for my small office."
• "Perfect size recycle to go under sink next to trash."
• "Fits perfect where I needed it too. Quality material and lager capacity than I expected (which is a good thing)."

Cons:

• "The measurements were supposedly the same but when I actually received this one it was somewhat smaller than its predecessor."
• "Didn’t realize how tiny these were when I bought them. They’re fine for garbage cans, but they don’t hold much."
• "Great product, easy to clean, however it is smaller than you think."
• "I bought this thinking it was a bit bigger. Although good for a small room/office, not appropriate for a kitchen."
• "Very small, difficult to tell size by website photos."
• "It is smaller than what I expected. I wanted it to be taller."
• "This definitely isn’t the right size. It’s small, not a true 10 gallon can!"

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "It seems very sturdy."
• "Very durable and useful. Bought these for my kids' rooms, and they like to use boxes and things to build tents and forts with, I don't think that they will destroy these anytime soon."
• "At first I was worried of their quality/durability based on the design. Nope! No need to worry! The plastic is very thick and durable. Just what I needed! Normal sized “kitchen” trash bags fit perfectly."
• "They just arrived. They're very strong."
• "Great Rubermaid Quality. I think it's going to last forever."
• "It's hard plastic, but with a little flex to it."
• "This trash barrel is good sized and very durable."

Cons:

• "With regular use in a hard-working kitchen, the handles eventually cracked, and the cracks continued to spread."
• "3 are fine, one bucket I upended to empty and the tip edge cracked and broke off."
• "I received the garbage can I ordered yesterday. It’s really scratched up on one side."
• "It came in with scuff marks and dents like it was used already."
• "But… 4 stars! It happens it has some “hooks” to the side that I’d guess are designed to help hold the bag in place. Good idea, poor execution. Hooks are too pronounced, and ended up ripping the full bag when it was being pulled out."
• "Not sure how in-depth I can get in reviewing a garbage can but I have had this can for a year and it has ripped (not cracked) in two different places just by carrying out to the can with a load in it."

Color and Appearance

Pros:

• "I am very happy with this can because it is a lively blue, my old can was gray."
• "Plain and simple this is one heck of a cool blue recycle bin."
• "Looks very good. It is not stylish, but it has no blemishes and it is a dark black."
• "Bonus: Soothing forest green, instead of that thin, off-white...garbage..."

Cons:

• "I was very excited about it but after I received it I got disappointed because the color was not like in the picture it's more brown."
• "This 'beige' trash container is actually dark taupe in color if that matters to you."
• "The product I received is an ugly gray color, not beige or ivory as shown in Amazon's picture."
• "I was so surprised when these wastebaskets arrived... What arrived was more of a taupe, though it was listed as beige."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Works fine & inexpensive enough to put one by each desk - If recycling is convenient, we are more likely to do it."
• "Can't beat it for the price (it was under $7 when I ordered it)."
• "The price was very reasonable compared to office supply websites!"
• "Great price too."

Cons:

• "This is exactly what the description says I just took a star off because of the price."
• "Nothing special and you can likely find a similar trash can anywhere for a similar price."
• "Wanted to reorder but now the price is stupidly expensive."
• "I bought it when it was 10$s on amazon, now it is 2.99 fml."
