Rubbermaid Commercial Products FG295600BLA Wastebasket Reviews Summary

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "This fits very well in my space and can hold a reasonable amount of cans before it fills up."
• "It fits into small spaces and holds enough so that I'm only running it out once a week to empty into our big bin for pickup day."
• "This 10 gallon trash can is bigger than the one it's replacing but fits into the space fine and now less trips to empty things out. Sturdy construction and fits the appropriate garbage bags well."
• "It's great in size, fits perfectly in the cabinet slider, and it's very easy to clean."
• "Perfect size for my kitchen... my other trash can was too small.. this is great size but not too big for my kitchen."
• "The trash bin fits perfectly under the camper kitchen sink and still leaves room for cleaning supplies. Easy to clean, and the color does not show the dirt and grime."
• "It's not too big for a bedroom, and could easily fit under a kitchen counter."

Cons:

• "I don’t like large garbage cans in the kitchen. I refuse to pay $59.00 for a cute, trendy tin can to place garbage in. Grey is a neutral color and it can fit under the cabinet if necessary."
• "These trash cans are sturdy but didn't fit in my cabinet."
• "somehow I was expecting a kitchen trashcan size container.perhaps under-the-counter size . . .otherwise, its a nice looking little blue recycle can."
• "It doesn't fit very well under my kitchen sink."
• "I misjudged the size that I ordered. Would not fit in the space I had between desks."
• "Despite measuring it’s a tad in the small side."
• "Sadly the item is much smaller than we can use and I am extremely disappointed in not being able to return or exchange!"

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Materials last longer than others of this size, for some reason other brands were easy to crack and these simply put don't worth the extra."
• "Excellent value from the amazon warehouse."
• "The material quality really shows in this bin, with a durable and flexible build that won't grow brittle or snap like cheaper wastebaskets."
• "It's made up of a sturdy yet flexible plastic that's easy to clean."
• "This is well made and very durable, just like you would expect from Rubbermaid."
• "Rubbermaid makes good products that last. I measured my kitchen space for the trash container, and this one is perfect."
• "This is one of the cheapest trash bins I found online for sufficient volume. It turns out of great quality and is also durable."

Cons:

• "Disappointed in quality. Removing from box and instantly notice how poorly the decal is on the bin."
• "It’s a shame that the top sides of the trash are sharp. When you place a plastic bag around it the exterior sides most often rip the bag."
• "Had to replace kitchen waste basket because of cracking around the supportive lip."
• "It was just thrown in a box with just one strip of tape separating it from the elements… not sure if it’s a result of the poor packaging or the plastic itself."
• "Both of my cute lil cans started to MELT when it was hot the other day."
• "The bottom had three very rough pointed screws sticking out the bottom and other pointed screws sticking out on the inside bottom. Very poorly made!"
• "The quality of the trash can is less good compared to years ago. VERY thin plastic and the side bends inward when I pick it up."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Gray is the new BeigeNice Trash Can. Size and quality is great but the person who described the color need to go to eye doctor."
• "Love it, under sink trash can! Needed to adjust the height a little, razor knife one corner, I have a deep sink, would never know, slide in slide out, great idea, no big trash barrel in the way, eye sore smell, love it."
• "This wastebasket is lightweight, washable, and neutral to match any décor."
• "Good value for a big household. Very big cans for lots of garbage and good looks for outside patios or even inside kitchens!"
• "I love the simple rectangle shape. They fit standard 13 gal kitchen garbage bags, better then my old can."
• "Great Trash Can, has a very nice weight to it so that it doesn't tip over easily."
• "It's durable, sturdy and looks better than some other bins I was looking at."

Cons:

• "It's green not blue but no big deal."
• "The print quality of the recycling logo is excellent with no peeling after consistent use."
• "I ordered a blue one and I pissed that I didn’t get what I wanted."
• "It's a little darker than expected, like other reviews state, but it stays under my sink so it doesn't really matter."
• "I GAVE THIS A 4 STAR OVERALL RATING DUE THE COLOR. WE BOUGHT 6 BEIGE BUT THEY ARE MORE OF A GREEN/GRAY THAN BEIGE."
• "Just received my black Rubbermaid 10 gal waste receptacle. Not happy with the appearance! It looks like it's used."
• "Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that it's just not too attractive and I can't find garbage bag that fit well to it yet."
