Amazon Basics 20 Liter / 5.3 Gallon Soft-Close, Smudge Resistant Trash Can with Foot Pedal - Nickel

We'd been searching for a bin this size for ages, to replace an inferior, plastic Curver product that had finally given up the ghost. This bin is surprisingly good all round. Decent capacity, sturdy, and well-made, with a metal, rather than plastic outer construction and steel elevator mechanism. The inner bin is of durable thermoplastic. Soft close is an unexpected bonus. Overall, a quality product that looks like it will go the distance. Quite stylish too, with its brushed steel finish. A good all round buy!

Very easy to use, I like the sturdy pedal for opening and it's silent, I find it much better than a manual top opening bin for both hygiene and ease of use. Also I've had an electric opening bin in the past and it either worked intermittently or had to change batteries often. This is a great size bin which looks sleek in the kitchen, overall excellent value for money.

I love this bin. It is neat and stylish, closes silently and stays shiny/clean on the outside. The only problem is getting bin bags that actually fit, as the standard 20L bags are too short and not wide enough to fold out over the edge when inserted so just collapse inside once you start filling it. If anyone has solved this dilemma please let me know - as otherwise this is FAB!

Ideal for plastics recycling and good-looking too. Fits well into corner in small kitchen. Excellent quality.

Can’t get excited about kitchen rubbish bins but this is perfect for our needs. A good size without being too big, will fit into a kitchen cupboard or is good looking enough to be out in the kitchen. Well built with a lid opening pedal that feels sturdy. Very happy with the purchase.

This is one smart looking peddle bin. The lid opens and shuts really quietly, and the peddle can be operated from all angles. Love it.

Shines and smoothclosure of lid has impressed me. Unlike other paddle bins, lid softly closes. No noise. Using saveral times in a day. Size is very reasonable unlike 30x14x14 cm useless piece found next to toilet fills up with few empty toilet rolls cardboard sleeves and empty it more frequently to put anything more in it. Light weight and sturdy. Good quality and material. metal case and plastic bin inside easy to take out to empty.

The bin is perfect for my small kitchen. The quality is fantastic, and the bin is very well made. The soft-closing lid works exactly as it should. I like the fact that the foot pedal is made of metal and very sturdy (previous bins have had plastic pedals and they eventually break). I can honestly say there is nothing “basic” about this bin. It looks very expensive. I have found that the Tesco Pedal Bin Liners (22L, bag of 30, tie handles) fit (just). I had used them on my previous bin. Might see if I can find 30L bin liners so there is a bit more of an overlap at the top.

I bought two of these trash cans - 10.5 gallon wide for the kitchen and 2.5 gallon narrow for the bathroom. I'm very happy with the look and feel of them. They appear to be a great value, esp. if you get them on sale - the price around Prime days fluctuates often. The larger can was $85 on the first Prime Day 7/11, yet I had purchased it for $42 on 7/8. Same for the smaller can - $46 on 7/12, I paid $23 on 7/8. They came very well packaged with thick styrofoam on top and bottom of the box and under the can lid where it meets the body of the can. It arrived USPS, and a big 'thump' I heard at delivery made me cringe, but there was no damage to the box or contents. Beyond price, tho, I needed a new trash can that didn't cause problems during warmer weather with gnats/flies. Most trash cans don't completely seal, but rather have an air gap of some sort around the lid that allows the smells to escape enough to attract these pests. This one closes over and around the inner bin, so fingers crossed, it's eliminated that problem. **Update** There is definitely significantly less smell than my previous swing lid can. But really strong smell (onions!) is still noticable, much less, and can eventually attract gnats. Because it's a step-open can, I shouldn't be cleaning off the lid from food hitting it as it goes in, like my previous can. Hopefully I'll only be dusting it occasionally! (For the larger can, it's not a pedal, but a hefty u-shaped bar.) The slow close shouldn't create a 'woosh' of smelly air wafting up, like my previous swinging lid can. **Update** Changing from swing lid to step-open lid, I thot I wouldn't like the inconvenience of step opening vs just tossing into a swing lid. But I put a strong magnet under the lid edge, and a peg-type strong magnet opposite it on the outside, so one finger can lift the lid and with the same hand toss something in. And unlike a swing lid, I can step and hold open the entire lid to scrap off a plate or pan. And NO food or fingerprints on the lid - it stays clean. With the addition of a magnet "handle", the step-open can is better. And this after decades of swing lid cans. I also no longer need a full size can taking up space, esp. since it takes us a week or more to fill it. I didn't want to lean down to a too short can, or worry about missing it because the opening was too small. The 10.5 gallon can is tall enough and the opening is large enough that it looks and feels like a full size can. It's taken some time to find the right can for what I needed - the 10.5 gallon definitely checks all the boxes. There were less improvements needed for the bathroom can, but the 2.5 gallon also checks all those boxes. Very happy with the cans. I'll update this review if there's more to share.

De prullenbak is erg mooi in het echt en handig. Normale zakken passen goed, zijn ook vast te zetten. Deksel is heel makkelijk open te zetten. Ik ben heel tevreden met mijn aankoop.

Arrivata imballata in un cartone molto robusto e collocata al suo interno con tutte le protezioni di polistirolo che la proteggono bene da eventuali danni durante il trasporto. Si presenta esattamente come nelle foto illustrative; è in acciaio spazzolato ed il design è molto bello che si adatta ottimamente ad ogni ambiente. La forma è stretta e alta; il pedale che solleva il coperchio è ben fatto e con un meccanismo che appare molto solido e ben funzionale. Il coperchio può essere aperto con il pedale stesso oppure manualmente, in entrambi i casi la sua richiusura avviene in modo rallentato, soft, senza farlo sbattere e senza rumori. Al suo interno vi è il cestino in plastica, facile da estrarre per collocarvi il sacco, che sarà nascosto alla vista una volta rimontato e richiuso. Dopo alcuni mesi di utilizzo direi che è bello e ben fatto; meccanismo fluido che non si è mai inceppato. Una piccola nota per lo spessore della lamiera, che risulta un po' sottile e facile da "ammaccare" con eventuali urti. Riassumendo direi che il prodotto è ottimo, ben realizzato e di buona qualità, soddisfatto dell'acquisto, lo consiglio...
