I have had several *other* trash cans and they always break in the long run. They are not built to handle the day in and day out usage, even in the kitchen of a single person like myself. I don't cook much either. My last one lasted a few years. I decided to upgrade to something that would last much longer. I have never looked back. This trash can is great. The liner is heavy and fits trash bags perfectly, no problems getting a tall kitchen bag stuck or having to figure out how to avoid closing it on the extra material in the bag or worse, having to buy custom bags. This is designed for 30,000 opens and closes and it works fantastically. I would highly recommend. Update: Years later this trashcan is still going strong! Read more
Now this is a trash can! For years, I have bought step-on trash cans that were trash. They'd cost anywhere from $30 to $80, and would last a year, maybe two. When I saw this on Amazon, I at first thought, no effen way am I spending $175 for a kitchen can. After reading many of the reviews, I figured it if would last as long as suggested, it might be worth it. I figured if it were as poor quality as the others, I could return it. This can is quality, as expected of the Rubbermaid name. It feels very durable, from the easy and wide opening operation to the smooth, quiet closing. The sheet metal is a thicker gauge than others I have owned, which adds weight and stability. Others have stated that they are not true to size, but I have the 13 gallon size can, and the Glad Forceflex 13 gallon bags from Sam's Club fit like a glove. They require a slight stretch to install over the edges of the inner container, but never rip, nor do they come loose before I'm ready to remove it. Hard to believe I wrote such a detailed review for a trash can, but this is THAT good a trash can. Read more
I was afraid to spend so much on a kitchen garbage can but so glad now that I did! Hefty 13 gallon trash bags fit perfectly. Tight at the top so the bags don't fall down inside. Easy operation. Appears to be very sturdy and much more so than the other stainless cans I have bought in the past. I don't think anyone will be sorry if they buy this can!!! Read more
Why did I wait so long to buy this? We have a lot of parties and everyone is always asking for the garbage can. It has always been under the sink, like in most homes. We bought this to put at the end of our kitchen island to give guest better access to the garbage can. It looks nice not out of place and is well built. It is the perfect size for our garbage liners, no more folding and tucking. It has made a huge difference in the functionality of our kitchen. Read more
It IS a quality can and as all Rubbermaid Commercial products you get NO manuals instructions nor guides.. The spec say 13 gallon and the drawing on the can show how to put the bags on. NOW the facts, 13 gal bags are SKIN TIGHT and they do not attach like the drawing shows nor do any 13 gal bags fit . My advice is to buy 23 gal bags. Read more
Purchased this item on 6/4/2016, has been great up until 2 weeks ago when the mechanism that keeps the lid from slamming closed broke! The is no option here to contact seller, I'm hoping the is some sort of warranty! Read more
Got this can a year ago. Choked over the price, but figured it would last for years. Nope. The auto closing feature stopped working this week. No way I’m touching the lid of this thing to close it every time. Why? Because I use it for dog poop. 1 star for durability and a “DO NOT RECOMMEND” rating. PS It’s also starting to rust. Stainless steel? Rusting?? Read more
Love this trash can. Have always had a compactor but in our new house there was no room for one. I am liking this better because you can throw food in the trash knowing it's not going to be there for a week or 10 days. We don't get fruit flies or any smell from trash or food. I like the insert that you can clean if the bag leaks. It was expensive but worth the price. Heavy duty and I know it will last a long time, plus trash compactors cost up to $1000. Read more
