iTouchless 13 2 Gallon Step Trash Can with Odor Control Filter Stainless Steel Kitchen Garbage Can 50 Liter

I love this trash can. I’ve had it for 6+ months and it still makes me smile. I had a cheap, plastic, ugly trash can I purchased from Target years ago that I wanted to replace for the longest time, but couldn’t wrap my mind around spending almost $90 on a fricking trash can. However, this trash can was worth every penny and I would spend even more money for this trash can if needed. Pros - everything. Looks great and works even better. The minimalistic, sleek, smudge-proof design makes storing trash sexy. The step pedal requires very little force, and the lid opens quickly but with restraint. No lid snapping open and striking your walls happening here. There is an inner plastic lining that is removable, making trash bag removal and changing easy. There is a little notch where you slide a small portion of the trash bag into to keep it from slipping and it does just that - no slippage of your trash bag. No reaching down into the doom and gloom of strange odors and textures to wrangle the topmost edge of the bag free when it slips down. The bag ALWAYS stays put. And the trash can blocks odors!!! My kitchen never smells from the trash, even if it’s spoiled food. Cons - nothing. Worth every single penny. I would sell my plasma if needed to get this trash can again. I realize I am now fully adulting to be gushing over something like a trash can, but this was one of my best purchases for the entire year. You will love this trash can. Read more

I purchased this for us in my new kitchen. I have all stainless steel appliances, so the appearance matches well. I have been pleased. It is nicely constructed. I like the removable insert. The lid also works very easily. I did initially find it hard to hold the lid open. However, after an email to the vendor, they explained that one needs to lift up on the lid as it is coming up, before it reaches past about 30-60 degrees open. Then one can pull it back to stay open very easily. If you use the foot pedal to fully open the lid, and then try to push it back to stay, it is very difficult. It comes with an odor-reducing filter which I suppose helps but is hard for me to judge. I have not noticed any odors with the lid closed. All in all, this is a very good product that looks good and functions well. I prefer to use larger trash bags that do not stretch tight around the insert. There is a little clearance around the edge of the insert for the top of the bag to fold over and down for a neat fit. However, I initially had problems getting the edge of the bag to stay put while I lowered the insert into the can. I easily solved this by getting some larger rubber bands. I now fold the top of the bag around the top of the insert, and wrap it with a large rubber band. This holds it in place as I lower the insert. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an attractive, well made garbage can. Read more

The most perfect, beautiful, ideal trash can for your kitchen. I absolutely love the color too! It’s a beautiful rose gold. It’s a soft close, unlike other trashcans! Must have. I highly reccomend for functionally fits into the kitchen space, spacious depth within the bin, and easy to use with just the softest pedal step. It won’t fling open and give you that whiff of trash lol. Read more

I've had this garbage can for about 6 months. It looks great, but the following problems have developed: 1. The hinge mechanism failed last week, so now the lid either stays partially open (jammed against the open / close control rod) or falls down undamped as its not connected to the control rod. This seems to be an inherent flaw in the design as the control rod has no leverage to push against the lid, so it was a matter of time before the whole thing failed. 2. The hinge mechanism is exposed and always dirty. Sure you can clean it, but it's all corners and little openings that make it impossible to keep clean. I've taken to dragging it outside and hosing it off as needed, because a spray & wipe w/ cleaner doesn't work. 3. The anti stink filter doesn't seem to bring much to the party, but the lid does seal up the can while in use. I wanted this to work because the design is really slick and it looks great in the kitchen. Unfortunately now the foot pedal no longer works and it needs a hand job every time to open it up. FOLLOW UP 13 Jan 2020 - The manufacturer did ship a replacement lid assembly. It was a quick install and the lid works again. It was great that they honored the warranty, but the replacement part seems to be the same as the OEM; I hopes it holds up better. FOLLOW UP November 2020 - the new part has held up well. Thanks to the manufacturer for stepping up and fixing the problem. Read more
