KOHLER K-31315-STW 22-Liter Dual-Bin Open-Top Trash Can White Stainless Steel

This is THE trash bin. I absolutely love it. It’s great quality, sleek and super functional. I love how narrow it is, but don’t let this discourage you, it goes deep and fits a lot of trash. I got one for my office and got one for my bathroom. In my opinion it’s worth the steeper price. Removing the bag is no problem and it stays in place. Read more

A recycled brown paper grocery bag fits perfectly in the container. No more buying plastic bags/liners, and no more ridiculous tying plastic bag ends. The compact form-- shorter and squatter-- seems to blend with the cabinets. I've had this trash can for just a year and a half and it is functioning perfectly and still looks brand new. My one and only complaint: why does Kohler not make this model in white?! I would love two of these in white for recycling bins, again using brown grocery bags as liners. This was a great purchase.

I needed a compact (medium, 8 gallon) size waste basket for the kitchen. Kohler products are high quality, and this one is no exception. Looks elegant, pedal responds to a light touch, and the lid closes by itself softly and quietly so there's no need to slowly ease off the pedal. Even the packaging was deluxe--3 sturdy nested boxes, and within that, cushions and a strong plastic bag. (Don't be alarmed by the weight of the carton--a lot of that's packaging!) Installing new bags is intuitive. There's an inner rim one needs to lift back. I found it easiest to secure the bag by folding the top edge over the back of the basket first, then pulling forward on both sides of the bag simultaneously till one can stretch the bag over the two front corners. A pleasure to own. (I'm embarrassed but tickled to be so excited about, of all things, a garbage can!) Read more

The 8-gal Kohler stainless steel trash can is the perfect size for under my desk; the top opens fully with even a little room to spare. I was amazed at the perfect fit !! The space under my desk is 28.5" and the waste bin opens fully to 28 3/8" with 1/8" to spare! I was amazed at the fit. I do not use a trash bag/liner in the can because it serves as my recycle bin and I put only waste-paper in it used at my desk, plus kleenex. Soft plastic is not picked up for recycle here in Austin, it requires a special trip by you, so I do not use a plastic trash bag. I empty the inner-can into our complex's recycle dumpster. I wanted a covered wastebasket under my desk bec I noticed how unsightly the waste looked in my former uncovered trash can; especially when kleenex were deposited and could be see from across the room. Yuck. Now my trash is covered in a very nice-looking trash can. My desk area is much more upscale now and I feel good about the neatness and better appearance (and the privacy of waste)! Read more

Was looking for a sleek trash can for my bathroom so I purchased this clean looking trash can. Here is my review: Pros: - Sleek and modern stainless steel design looks great in bathroom - Perfect size for fitting in tight spaces between vanity and toilet - Foot pedal makes opening and closing hands-free and convenient - Silent close lid is slow and quiet - Can keep lid open fully for changing bags easily - High quality construction and durability Cons: - Very expensive for a small bathroom trash can - Custom sized bags are pricey, regular bags fit fine - Top-heavy so prone to tipping if bumped too hard - Base scratches floor when sliding to open with foot Overall I'm satisfied with the look and performance of this trash can. When intact, it functions very smoothly and looks nice. I wish it had a lighter base that didn't scratch floors and better protection in transit. But in the end, it fits my space nicely and does the job. Hope this review helped. Read more

I love this trash can. It was hard to justify spending so much on it, but my cheap one from a big box store pissed me off every time I stepped on the pedal and it wouldn’t engage or when it did it shot open and banged against the wall. This trash can is sleek but has a big amount of internal space but I can still use the produce bags from the grocery store to line it. It has little divots where you can pick up the interior container to easily lift out the bag & replace it. This was a good investment. It operates silently. Read more

I hesitated buying this trash can due to the price but I gotta tell you, this thing is beautiful. It fits perfectly between the space between my toilet and the vanity. It works beautifully and is easy to change the bag. It comes in a smaller version but I think this is the perfect size (2.5 GAL) for a bathroom. I bought the SimpleHuman 10L / 2.6 GAL (Size R) trash bags to go in it and they fit perfectly. Not sure I'll continue to buy those bags for the can because you can use any other similar sized bag, but I wanted something that fit in it well upon arrival of the trash can. It has a slow silent close after releasing the foot pedal or you can push the opened lid back a little further for the top to stay open if you are changing out the bag. I highly recommend this trash can. Read more
