This trash can offers a sleek design with a locking lid, making it ideal for homes with pets or toddlers. Many guests appreciate its ability to keep trash bags secure and its soft-close feature. However, there are concerns about the durability of the foot pedal, with several reports of it breaking within a short period. Despite this, the trash can is praised for its aesthetic appeal and functionality in keeping odors contained.

    Just like everyone else says it breaks easily in the exact same spot. I only had it for 2 months and it’s broken

    The best trashcan

    Love this trash can highly recommend if you have a raccoon toddler. Keeps my toddler out of the trash and not annoying to have to unlock it everytime easily locks and unlocks.

    Flimsy Foot Step

    I agree with the other reviews. Even thought the sleek design of the Brightroom 13 gallon step trash can will grab your attention, like it did myself, the durability of the foot step will have you buying a different trash can within a year. I like the trash can but would love if the foot step was way more durable.

    Breaks Easily

    The pedal is flimsy and breaks off easily.

    Very hard to clean

    I hate this trash can. It looks nice and thats about it. The part where the lid attaches and opens - food and stuff gets stuck there and its so hard to get out. Also the bags do not lay perfectly spread put in the hinges. That just bothers me personally. I wouldn't recommend this item just because of how hard it os to keep clean and deep clean.

    Toddler and puppy proof!

    We were looking for something that our kiddos wouldn’t be able to get it (curious toddler and rambunctious 8 month old rottie) love the lock feature my son learn quickly he could not open this (at least until he figures out the lock but that’s a worry for another day haha) . Works great so far Thank you!

    A bit of a hazard

    All the metal rusted which for $40 I was hoping it wouldn't. Also, cut a toe on the foot pedal. It's still working nearly a year in though so can't complain too much.

    Worst trash can ever

    This thing is so cheap. The lid doesn’t even cover the entire top and the locking mechanism doesn’t work. This trash can will lead to your kitchen being full of gnats.

    Trash

    This trash can lasted just over a year. The foot pedal to open the trash can is broken and can’t be fixed. The lid is very difficult to open without the foot pedal. I would never recommend this product, I’m very dissatisfied.

    Nice sleek design

    I like the locking feature and the fact that the foot pedal can be moved up and down. However, i need to make sure and put a sign on it for people to check and make sure it is unlocked before opening bc the pedal broke when someone tried to open it when locked

    Already broken after less than 3 months

    This is a trash can. A freaking trash can. The pedal broke today. I didn't do anything wild or crazy and I'm the only person who used it. It's just more overpriced cheaply made crap.
