High quality bin.
I bought this to replace an older version which lasted at least 10 years but the plasic lid finally gave up. The newer version now has a metal lid with the same quality materials & design features that still make this a brilliant product, highly recommended.

Something else.
Generally, I'm not much into stuff, and I rarely succumb to commodity fetishism, but this bin is something else. It's beautiful and functional, an absolute delight to both behold and use. A necessity transformed into a source of joy. Hyperbolic? Perhaps. Nevertheless, this is a great product entirely worthy of my fulsome praise.

Great.
It's a lot of money but it's worth it. I have two of these bins in my kitchen, one for the usual and the other for recycling.

This is my second one…
I have quite a few simple human products. This one is nice looking and well made and I expect it to last for a long time. The only thing I would improve is to have adjustable legs. In my new place I have uneven floor and had to move it cause it was wably. Other than that i really like it.

Love this trash can!
Bought this can to replace a cheaper one that wasn’t working well. I’ll never buy another kind again! This particular model fits perfectly and unobtrusively in my kitchen space, matches my stainless steel appliances, is whisper silent when opening and closing the lid, and super easy to remove garbage and replace bags. It also has the large capacity I need. I love it!!

Scratches in lid
The bin itself is great although I was disappointed that there are marks on the metal lid. I would not say that the item is pristine.

This is my second one
This is the second time I buy this bin, the first one lasted 17 years and functioned perfectly until a few weeks ago the lid didn’t get closed. I hope this one works as good as the old one!

Trash Can Replaced
Replaced a previous model. I really like the new design, and the fact that the lid is sturdier and not plastic.

5 stars but
Hi. Thisbis a great product. Stepper is smooth. Looks is slick. One twick for next design....it is a little cumberson to take the plastic trash can base out to change the bag. Maybe need to figure out a system to take it out better.
