SONGMICS 13 Gallon (50 L) Trash Can, Stainless Steel Kitchen Garbage Can, Recycling or Waste Bin, Soft Close, Step-On Pedal, Removable Inner Bucket, Sand Beige ULTB050A01

I redid my kitchen in shades of blue and I had a dirty old stainless steel garbage can and wanted a new one. I ordered this one in blue and the color is so beautiful and it’s just a great garbage can and the bonus is it came with 15 bags. It’s sleek and clean and it fits perfect. It’s exactly what I was looking for, no bells or whistles.

I have 2 of these at the end of my cupboard.—One for garbage and one for recycle. They are narrow enough in depth to keep side by side without blocking walking areas. I use 13 gal recycle bags in one and 13 gal garbage bags in the other I use a strip of packing tape to hold tightened bag tops on inner can. That stays for at least 8 bag changes and keeps larger bags firmly in place. The extra depth of the bag goes to the bottom of the inner can and increases the volume these cans hold. It has worked perfectly for both trash and recycle! I have had one of these about 6 months and it is still like new. I liked it well enough to buy a second can. I am very pleased and recommend them for those who want something roomy but with a low profile.

The product looks very clean and eye appealing. The top pops up very easily and closes very slowly. The inner plastic can easily pulls up enabling one to put a bag in it. Very satisfied with the trash can.

I have had one of these for well over a year and just bought another. They are a well-thought-out and attractive design that just works. They are good quality and sturdy and make little to no noise when closing. You can't hear the lid at all. It's great. Just a small bit of noise from the metal pedal.They also have a sturdy inner liner which completely hides the bag. Crucial if you have little ones around (including of the furry variety… they mostly ignore what they can't see).I expect these to continue to function as is and last for many more years to come. And would not hesitate to buy another.

Be aware. I measured the height with lid open to be 36 inches. Will not fit the space I bought it for. Kong, kong every time lid hits the shelf. I would have sent it back, but it is a big box. I will find a different space for it. Grrrrr.

So far with every person who has visited my place has said they like my trash can. I love green this much

Like many people these days, I have chosen to do the two-garbage can thing, one for trash and one for recyclables. I personally make way more recyclables than I do trash, and I was tired of seeing brown paper bags sitting around, plus they filled up too quickly, making my pretty foyer not look so pretty. When I found these I thought they’d make a nice-looking replacement for what I had, mostly because of the color (bronze) and the simpleness of the design.There was an issue with the lid not closing properly on one of the ones I ordered, and Amazon made it right immediately. Thank you Amazon.I was not interested in the automatic touchless variety; it’s just one more thing to break and it makes too many dead batteries for the trash. I wanted a very simple step can, in brown, with soft close, and a streamlined look. This can fit the bill. They fit very neatly into the area I placed them (see pic).Bear in mind that these are replacing, as I said paper bags for the recyclables, and a steel step can that was literally 30 years old and still functioning perfect. But it was time to upgrade, and a more rectangular shape rather than the old round one has turned out to be a good idea, and I wanted to give in to a little bit of vanity this time.The soft close is excellent and a welcome change, as I no longer hear the banging of the lid when I let go of the pedal. 13 gallon tall kitchen bags (I use glad brand) Fit this can perfectly. They are just tight enough over the liner lip that they stay put nicely and you only use about a half an inch over the edge, so that when the lid closes it is completely hidden. The shape and the liner basket were critical. Don’t get one of these types of cans unless it has a removable liner basket!I also purchased those tall lawn and leaf paper bags for the recycling can. They haven’t arrived yet but I asked for careful measurements, and I’m pretty sure that with just a small amount of cutting down on the height, they’re going to fit well, and it’ll be nice to just pull the bag out and throw the whole thing in the recycling bin, bag and all.As I said, I owned the steel round step can for over 30 years with no issues. But now that I have had these rectangular cans for about a week, I can tell you that when I went to take out the first full bag of trash I was able to remove it much easier than I have ever been able to remove it out of the round can. The liner basket is slightly smaller at the bottom than it is at the top, and this is probably why it’s so easy to remove a full bag. Also, the rectangular shape makes it easier to put certain objects in that never fit well in the round. While I wanted something that would look good, functionality always comes first with me, so I couldn’t be happier about that.My only caveat is that the old steel round can was obviously quite durable. The steel used on these new cans is a little thinner, but not by much. And I’ve got no destructive toddlers or teenagers in my house that think nothing of banging or hitting something like this and leaving a dent in it.So all in all they are a bit pricey, but I am extremely pleased with these cans. I also purchased stickers off of Amazon to indicate which one is for recycling and which one is for trash, and I’m such a stickler about color use & subtlety that I had to buy two different sticker sets to get what I wanted.The old steel round step can, still working great, is now going in the basement in the laundry area. Reduce, reuse, recycle, repurpose. Words to live by.If you are looking for a simple step can, that functions very well, and looks nice without all the dead battery waste, then this might be the right one for you too.

Size and quality is great! Comes with bags.
