High Quality And a Stylish Garbage Can
Very good garbage can. I debated for about a year to buy this and ended up buying it because of the recommendations and I wanted something that had the recycle and garbage together. The recycle bin is larger than the one I previously had in my house, and the garbage portion is just slightly smaller than our old can. I don't use a bag for the recycle portion, and even though it fills up fast its easy to take in and out to empty it.
Pros: It takes up less room than my other two bins, and it looks much better. I get compliments on the trash can when people come over and its funny to have people comment on a garbage can. It does a very good job at keeping the smell contained. I dont notice garbage smell any more when the lid is closed, when you open the lid you might smell it but once it is closed it keeps it contained very well. Its really sturdy feeling, and I like the that the clid closes quietly. Both bins are easy to take in and out and there is a small latch that clicks on and off if you need to keep the lid open.
Cons: Its expensive, Im a little embarrassed to tell people how much it cost. I think a lot of people think its crazy to spend that money on a garbage can. I honestly dont know why they cost so much but I dont regret spending the money on it because it is a very nice addition to the kitchen. Im not a fan of the standard bags that come with it. They fit nice in the bin but they are too small for me and you cant fit as much trash in the bin with the bags. I like to use regular 13 g Kirkland bags from Costco because you can pack more trash in there and you dont have to use as many bags since they last longer. You do have to wrap the bag around the bin a little so it doesnt hang out but you can make it work. The garbage bin is not much smaller than the previous one I had but if you have a large garbage can it might be a con for you that it is a little smaller?
If you have the money to spend on this, it is worth it. If you have a tight budget this is definitely something you can live without, its a product that is convenient and not a necessity since there are much cheaper trash cans after that.
