Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'd been shopping for step-on waste baskets because I needed firmly closing lids, due to my dogs' fascination with the contents from ordinary waste baskets without lids. I found these simplehuman 1.2 gallon compact step ons with lids at a great price, so I then read the reviews to see if they were worth the price. Nearly all of the reviewers were very pleased with them, however, many complained of them tipping over too easily because they were so light weight. Since they obviously needed more weight and balance in the bottoms of the cans, I set out to find the perfect fix. Having searched at home for anything that would work and finding nothing, I then thought about placing magnets or something similar under the plastic can liner, having a small diameter and weight, and whatever it was had to be thin enough or the lid would not close properly. Finding that fix was no easy task! Finally, barbell weights came to mind, the smaller light weight type, and voila~!! I found it! The "fix" that works for me is a Weider 2.5 lb. Workout Weight Hammertone Plate that fits the round bottom of the can perfectly, and is thin enough to not disrupt the mechanism of the lid opening and closing. They were on Ebay for $3 each, and I got one for each of the simplehuman step ons for each of our bathrooms. The weights were a perfect fit in every way, and not once has either can tipped over or even moved! The lids open and close properly every time. I'm extremely pleased with these step ons, and have zero complaints. I no longer have to kindly remind our guests to PLEASE close the bathroom door when exiting, and best of all, I've had to clean up zero disgusting shredded trash everywhere, and the doors now remain open ~ unless occupied, of course! ❤️😊
