Better Homes & Gardens 11.9 Gallon Plastic Step Kitchen Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Black

The trash can is absolutely gorgeous!! It performs well, the lid opens smoothly and closes slow and quietly! The metal rim around the top is sleek and classy. I did a project with this trash and decorated it Beach theme! It’s probably the prettiest trash you’ll ever see!

Love the design of this trash can. Did some research on other expensive brands and ended up going with this one. Did not disappoint. Love that it has the stain steel bar, give it a nice touch. That bar also helps hide the trash bad which was a nice surprise I didn't know from the reviews. In terms of size it fits perfectly in most spaces. Great buy for the prize.

I like using this trash can in my craft room for all the scraps of paper, etc. It is the perfect size for the craft room and also works really well as a kitchen garbage can. It holds quite a bit of trash. The ring the holds the bag in place is great. It holds it securely so I'm not chasing the top of the bag and losing it into the garbage. I like that the lid is made onto the can. All you have to do to put a new bag in/take old bag out is lift it up. This is also great for in the kitchen because my dog can't knock the lid off and get into the trash. The lever to raise the lid works really well. I haven't any problems with opening the can. I also like that it closes automatically!

I never thought I could get excited about a trashcan, but this is the one! It's very sleek and modern looking and the feature that hides the actual trash bag is very clever. The lid opens gradually and doesn't slam open as many other trashcans do. No odors escape from the bin at all, which is a huge bonus. The foot pedal is easy to press and perfectly sized. I really can't say enough about this trashcan after suffering with a trashcan with an ill-fitting lid with odors escaping. A !!!

I purchased this garbage can to use in my laundry room because the other one I had got really gross. I was looking for something large but that opened and closed with a foot pedal. The choices were gray and black so I chose grey. I have a really nice black one in my kitchen that was very expensive. I was expecting this to be low-quality. I was super surprised at how great of quality it is. First of all the gray color is very modern and stylish. It’s a perfect color. The size is great, nice and large. My favorite part is the lid. It has a step so you don’t have to get your hands dirty and the lid comes open but it doesn’t slam open. It also has a room that you can lift up to hold the garbage bags in place. Garbage bags never slip in or look messy. I’m super pleased with this purchase.

This is a great garbage can at a great price. I'm considering buying a second one to use for recycling. Its very sturdy, and has a double lid. One opens when you press on the pedal, and it nests within the other one. The other one lifts manually and is how you install the bag (it secures and hides it), and this lid will also stay in the upright position if you want to keep the can open.

I got the gray trash can. It looks very nice in my kitchen. I was worried that it might look cheap in person, but it’s very sleek looking. It has a stainless steel rim at the top that makes it look more high-end, and it matches perfectly with the other appliances in my kitchen. I love the way the lid slowly closes itself when you remove your foot from the push pedal. This feature was unexpected, but wonderful because it means the lid never slams closed. However, when you put your foot on the pedal to open the trash can to throw something away, it opens fast. If you’re like me and have it placed against the end of a cabinet or against the wall, this means it will slam into it every time it opens unless you use your hand to “catch” the lid. For that reason, I docked one star. But the design is beautiful and I love the way it functions, otherwise. So overall I do recommend it.

This is a good sturdy garbage can and looks great considering the cost. Most garbage cans like this are hundreds of dollars. We needed an extra for our recycling items. However, I will say the sticker on the front is infuriating trying to get off. It doesn’t even want to come off using a hair dryer. I would recommend putting the darn sticker on the inside or something (in a discreet area) because here I sit picking it off piece by piece 😂.

It says it fits standard 13 gallon trash bags, but it lies. The can is about 2 inches too tall to fit the trash bags so when you try to compact the trash by pushing down on it, the bag pulls off the rim. I cobbled together a fix by hacking apart a cardboard box and fitting the pieces in the bottom of the can to raise it up and give the bag something to sit on. Now it works great, but I shouldn't have to modify it that much to make it work like it's supposed to. Other than that glaring flaw it's a good can; it has nice styling, the foot pedal is functional and sturdy, and it's large enough to hold a couple days worth of trash.

I would give zero stars if I could. I ordered this trash can as a Christmas gift and it came WITH NO BOX. It literally came as if you bought it in the store. They stuck a shipping label on it and said good to go. It’s scratched AND broken. I ordered it so I wouldn’t have to go to the store but I’ll be going back to the store to return it.
