SONGMICS Kitchen Trash Can, 10.5 Gallon (40 L) Garbage Can, Large Step Trash Bin with Lid, Stainless Steel, Soft Close, 15 Trash Bags Included, Silver ULTB540E40

I've never written a love song to a trashcan, but I am doing so now.It's a trashcan, but it looks good, it works great, the size is perfect,* and it's priced right.Here are the deets: I've had it for a few months now and it's like it's always been here, not because it looks like it's old, but because it's very neutral in its design and fits right in. I love the open top design. That means the top will stay open if I set it up that way, and it will close after use if I set it up that way. And remember, it's a trashcan, so setting it up is pretty easy.*Here's what I meant about the size getting a star. When the top is set to stay open, the top is vertical, leaving the opening fully accessible. But, it turns from a medium height can to a tallish one, and it still fits under the overhang in the kitchen island. When I need it close, I simply drag it over, and when I'm done, I move it back to its resting place under the island overhang.And the price is right.And, it's easy to find liner bags for it cause it's a standard size.It's just about perfect. No faults, from my perspective.

We’ve had this trashcan for about 3 months now. It still looks great, no dents or chips. The cream color goes well with our cabinets versus the typical stark white. We had the auto-open trashcan for years and it drove us crazy having it open every time we walked by or having to change the batteries so frequently. I’m happy to have the normal peddle opener back again. Easy to change the bag and it never falls! I hate trash cans are so expensive but this one was worth the $$.

Smaller than I was expecting, but holds a lot of trash and a normal trash bag. Lever works well. Every time has a self closing lid.

In spite of a warning message on the product's webpage about this being a frequently returned item, I decided to take the plunge and order it due to the many positive reviews. It's also fairly unique in it's size and color options, so it fits nicely in our bathroom.The trash can came in a nice beige color and looks very sleek. It's fairly easy to insert a trash bag (15 come with it) and it uses a standard size that is easy to obtain at local stores. It is difficult to completely keep the bag from peeking out of the can near the top (which is why I didn't give it five stars), but you can mostly conceal it. The edges of the bag at the top can make it look less elegant, so it's important to hide it and it can be done with enough care. Perhaps I'll get better at doing that over time.The lid opens quickly and closes slowly, as you want it to do. It keeps the smells inside the can until you remove the bag, which you want to do quickly due to odors from what was disposed of in the can.So, I'm very happy with my purchase and I don't really understand why it would be an often returned item. Perhaps because it gets damaged in shipping, which didn't happen in my case.

Love the color and good size for my profession!

I love it. It is easy to clean, easy to put a bag in and keep it in and it looks great. The size is great for my family. My dog so far has not been able to easily get in there! Win win!

Some of the reviews stated that the can broke after a few weeks or a month, so I wanted to wait a while before I left a review. It's been a little over a month and I still love it.The shape takes up less room and still holds the same amount as a round can and 13 gal bags fit perfectly.I ordered it in white and it's a nice matte finish so it doesn't stand out. Not important to some people but it matters to me. Clean lines.The fact that it doesn't have an inner, metal liner is not an issue for us and we've had no problems.If it should start to fall apart, I'll amend this review, but for now I recommend.

Returned as the quality was horrible. The inside is all cheap quality plastic that doesn’t seem like it will last a week. I understand most are plastic inside even if they are stainless steel outside, but you can feel how low quality the plastic is inside this. Almost feels like it’s as cheap as water bottle plastic.
