Hefty Kitchen Trash Can, 12 Gallon Plastic Slim Step Garbage Bin with Locking Foot Pedal Lid, Black

This is perfect! It fits in the space I had and works flawlessly! It's very sturdy and doesn't feel like it's going to fall over when I step on it. Also, I love gray! Love that there was an option other than just black. Oh, and the way the bags attach around the lid hinge leaves an opening so the bag doesn't get suctioned to the inside of the bin.

We repurposed our former locking trash can for recycling, because it too big for the space available. We have a dog and needed a new locking trash can, and this one holds the same volume, but it is so much easier to get the kitchen trash bags in and on the holder grooves! Dame for taking a full bag out! No fighting to get it unhooked from the holders.

I really needed this trash can in my kitchen. Now no more mess to clean up when cooking. Love the easy opening and closing of the trash can lid. The design fits much better than my old can did in the space where it sits. I love the foot pad and the self locking. Great product.

I used this same trash can for the last 5 years until it recently the old one broke. Something that I like about this new trash can is that the manufacturer added instructions about how to install and replace trash bags to avoid damaging the step-on system. it is a good buy I say

It storks perfectly. Press the pedal lid opens and closes. As it should. Just wish they made these thing with 2 pedals. One on the side, one on the edge. Good looking, keeps smells down. There's an optional lock to discourage pets. My hamster would get into everything. Changing bags is a breeze. Well worth the price.

I bought this to fit in a narrow space in my tiny laundry room. It fits like a glove. That said, the lid/foot pedal mechanism is pretty flimsy/weak. Maybe I did something wrong while assembling it, but I'm pretty good at following assembly instructions and these were simple instructions. Anyway, the foot pedal raises the lid some, but you'll either have to great your trash through a small opening or use your hand to lift the lid all the way, which defeats the purpose of having a foot pedal. Also, this could have been a few inches taller so it could hold 13 or more gallons. On the plus side, it's lightweight, yet tough material, easy to clean, and it looks decent for a trashcan.

This is a sturdy trash can. My complaint, and the reason for the 4 star rating, is that this delivered to me from another store and came with the wrong lid, which makes it unusable. Also, I couldn't return to my local store for a replacement because they did not have it in stock. I was finally able to get a refund for the purchase but it took several weeks.

We got this to contain the smell of smelly garbage like leftover cat food the cats don't finish after meals, but it didn't do the job. The lock-tight lid did not contain the odor. I have short trash bins with similar lock-tight lids I used for 8 years that never released the odor of old cat food and scooped litter box waste and was hoping to find a taller replacement to save on back pain when leaning over. This trash bin is not an adequate replacement, so will just go back to my old smaller ones.

I hate this trash can. I wanted something that had a flip lid and wasn't expensive. I should have just dished out the $$ for a better design. This lid is hard to secure %26 remove the way it is designed. Your trash bag covers where the can attaches to the lid. The cheap plastic on mine easily broke while trying to unhook the lid while changing the bag. Now the lid is lop-sided when it opens. If you have used the more expensive foot activated "flip lid" cans, this is like the liner can inside the fancy outer can. Hefty attached a cheap plastic lid connection to the equivalent of the liner can. If you aren't constantly needing to switch out your full trash bag for a clean bag it might be alright. It feels like Hefty really "cheaped out" on the design of this one. I wouldn't recommend it.

I do not like this trash can. We got it since it locks to keep my toddler out of it but it makes the entire house smell like trash! It's because it has holes all through it!! We will be returning, it's disgusting! I'd rather have my other trash can with no lid!!!!!
