Broken Lid
Bought this wastebasket appropriately 6 weeks ago to use in laundry room. I live alone so don’t have much laundry; therefore, the wastebasket doesn’t get much use at all. Despite this, the grey push “button” on the lid broke. I love this can because it’s a great size but I’m not sure if I should purchase a replacement if the lid will break again. Thank you.

Great design, poor manufacturing
Top is flimsy and standard bags do not fit due to the width of the bin.

Great for hampers
Great for hampers, because you can wipe them down and sanitize after putting clothes in the washer.

Convenient!
only problem is I am conscerned about black color being a hazard of chemicals. Recent reports have that as recycled plastic and would love to turn out wrong as basket has been a joy while prepping ot cook.

Latch doesn't last
As with many other reviews, the lid latch breaks quickly/easily - looks to be a poor design - rending the trash can an "always open" thing. Wish they would sell the latch separately so it could be replaced.

Love the touch top feature
I purchased this can a few years ago to store dry dog food. It is the perfect size and I love the touch top feature. The price was good as well. The spring on the lid broke recently and I am having trouble locating a new can. I just reached out to customer service to see if I can get a replacement lid. Waiting to hear back. I think it was a good value for the money. I have seen other reviews saying the mechanism broke right away. That wasn’t my experience so I just wanted to write a review showing my experience with this great product!

If it'd worked would be great
I bought this wastebasket about a year ago and worked great. However about 6 months ago the lid will not stay close. I don't want to buy a new lid if there is a way to fix this.

Not Sturdy - Lid Breaks
I want to love this bin. It is the perfect size, and we love the self-opening lid. Unfortunately, the lid is not sturdy. They lids keep cracking. We have gone through 4 lids in 7 months.

Broken plastic lid hook
I like this trash bin because its the perfect size and fits in narrow spaces but the plastic hook to close the lid breaks after a week or so. I’m trying to find a REPLACEMENT but I can’t find it. I would hate to get another plastic container for that reason.

Lid locking mechanism is not durable
I bought this several years ago for cat food storage but almost immediately the gray lid release broke. I continued to use this by placing a heavy object on the lid since I don’t access it that much, however, that defeats the purpose of having a locking lid.

Hello MW63, thank you for reviewing the 7.5 Gal TouchTop Wastebasket. And thank you for the image. Plastic is a durable material, however, it can break, chip, or crack during regular use.

Great for Pet Food
Purchased 2 of these in black for dog and cat food. Just refinished the garage including expensive floor paint and want to keep it looking sharp and tidy. These do the trick and easily hold the entire 14 lb. bag. I have 2 similar, approximately 10 yrs old, that hold squirrel food and meal worms for my ducks, located in an outdoor shed and keep mice and other critters out. Was super happy to find them again.

Disappointed
I loved this trash can when I first got it a couple of weeks ago. However, after the first week the lid will no longer pop up when I push the button and it won’t close all the way. I took a look at the lid and can’t figure out what’s going on with it. It was very expensive from the location I purchased it from and now that it’s used they won’t take it back.

Junk
Top is short on the sides so bag is always visible and snap on lid is weak and wore out within a year. Can used in patio room so I’d say opened/closed average of 10 times a week.

Fits beside toilet very well
I like a trash can in the bathroom that has a lid yet easy to open. This fits well beside toilet however this is the second can that the latch on lid has broken, no glue will hold it. Wish I could just get a new lid and not have to replace can.

Love this trash can
I purchased this for my bedroom and it’s the perfect size. One down side is the size J trash bags recommended don’t fit over the top of the can. These bags aren’t cheap so I was just disappointed about that fact. Make a bag to fit this can.

Perfect for Dog Food
This is the perfect container for the dry kibble we feed our dogs.. We have had one container for at 8 years, and we purchased a second one when we got a second dog (different food, of course!). The trash cans have been durable, are attractive in the laundry room, and the secure lids keep the pups out between meal times. With the use these receive as dog food containers, I am certain they would function really well as trash cans. :-)

Love the easy close lid
I love the easy close lid on this wastebasket. I use it in my garage it keeps my kids out of the trash and my dog from eating out of the trash. Easy open easy close. Just the right size for what I use it for A quick empty of trash from the car or a popsicle we eat on the driveway. Holds a small trash bag so easy to empty and sits in a small space in my garage.

Great protector
We upgraded our kitchen trash can to your product and believe me it's a great thing to keep odors inside and easy to place in the trash when used with plastic bags and even without, it's east to clean. Wouldn't do without it!
