New trash can
Much cleaner looking and with the lid ups up to dispose of the trash leaves any drippage going into the plastic bag inside of the trash can. Looks much nicer than the old one.

Don't order.
I would give zero stars if I could. I ordered this trash can as a Christmas gift and it came WITH NO BOX. It literally came as if you bought it in the store. They stuck a shipping label on it and said good to go. It's scratched AND broken. I ordered it so I wouldn't have to go to the store but I'll be going back to the store to return it.

    Well Worth the Money
    This trash can is sturdy and very well built! I wasn't sure this would worth the money, but it definitely is. Happy with the purchase and highly recommend!

    Needs modification to fit 13 gal trash bags.
    It says it fits standard 13 gallon trash bags, but it lies. The can is about 2 inches too tall to fit the trash bags so when you try to compact the trash by pushing down on it, the bag pulls off the rim. I cobbled together a fix by hacking apart a cardboard box and fitting the pieces in the bottom of the can to raise it up and give the bag something to sit on. Now it works great, but I shouldn't have to modify it that much to make it work like it's supposed to. Other than that glaring flaw it's a good can; it has nice styling, the foot pedal is functional and sturdy, and it's large enough to hold a couple days worth of trash.

    Is it possible to love a trashcan?
    I never thought I could get excited about a trashcan, but this is the one! It's very sleek and modern looking and the feature that hides the actual trash bag is very clever. The lid opens gradually and doesn't slam open as many other trashcans do. No odors escape from the bin at all, which is a huge bonus. The foot pedal is easy to press and perfectly sized. I really can't say enough about this trashcan after suffering with a trashcan with an ill-fitting lid with odors escaping. A !!!

    Great garbage can
    This is a great garbage can at a great price. I'm considering buying a second one to use for recycling. Its very sturdy, and has a double lid. One opens when you press on the pedal, and it nests within the other one. The other one lifts manually and is how you install the bag (it secures and hides it), and this lid will also stay in the upright position if you want to keep the can open.

    Perfect size, quality and build for kitchen trash
    The Better Homes&gardens 11.9g Grey Plastic Step Can is the perfect solution for a garbage can in your kitchen or other places in the house that you want to keep your garbage out of sight and smell. The opening mechanism is very handy and heavy duty. It allows you to open the garbage can hands free and the closure does a great job of keeping the smells in. This trash can is made of heavy duty plastic and feels like it will be able to endure a lot of abuse. We recently took with us on a family vacation for use with in our travel trailer. The garbage can worked perfect for this purpose. It stood up to regular bumping into it in the small space of the camper, did a great job of keeping the trash smells in the can, and even got dumped over without spilling garbage. Garbage can bags or liners fit very nicely inside the garbage can and are held in place but the lid mechanism. The garbage can also looks very sleak and nice. Overall I would highly recommend the Better Homes&gardens 11.9g Grey Plastic Step Can to anyone looking for a great garbage can for their home.

    Super Nice Trash Can
    I love this trash can; it's even nicer than I thought it would be! It looks so pretty and stylish in my kitchen, and matches perfectly. I'm very happy with how solid and sturdy it is, and it doesn't move around on the tile like my old one did. It has a soft close lid so it doesn't slam shut, and since it closes slower it gives you an extra few seconds to throw the trash out if your hands are full. The garbage bags stay in place and don't come lose inside the can, and the shape of it makes the bags easy to change. The pedal is large too which is nice; it makes it easier to step on it. Very impressed with this, and would definitely recommend.

    Sleek look!
    I got the gray trash can. It looks very nice in my kitchen. I was worried that it might look cheap in person, but it's very sleek looking. It has a stainless steel rim at the top that makes it look more high-end, and it matches perfectly with the other appliances in my kitchen. I love the way the lid slowly closes itself when you remove your foot from the push pedal. This feature was unexpected, but wonderful because it means the lid never slams closed. However, when you put your foot on the pedal to open the trash can to throw something away, it opens fast. If you're like me and have it placed against the end of a cabinet or against the wall, this means it will slam into it every time it opens unless you use your hand to “catch” the lid. For that reason, I docked one star. But the design is beautiful and I love the way it functions, otherwise. So overall I do recommend it.

    Stylish and modern
    I purchased this garbage can to use in my laundry room because the other one I had got really gross. I was looking for something large but that opened and closed with a foot pedal. The choices were gray and black so I chose grey. I have a really nice black one in my kitchen that was very expensive. I was expecting this to be low-quality. I was super surprised at how great of quality it is. First of all the gray color is very modern and stylish. It’s a perfect color. The size is great, nice and large. My favorite part is the lid. It has a step so you don’t have to get your hands dirty and the lid comes open but it doesn’t slam open. It also has a room that you can lift up to hold the garbage bags in place. Garbage bags never slip in or look messy. I’m super pleased with this purchase.

    Durable and Lightweight Plastic Trash Can
    This black plastic trash can is durable plus the black finish does not show any dirt or smudges. It opens easily and is “touch free” when gently pushing the foot pedal. Trash bags stay in place with the additional rim, which you lift to insert the trash bag then lower to secure the bag in place. The trash can is Lightweight and can easily be moved where needed; Kitchen, home office, laundry room, basement or garage. Dimensions are 25.7”tall x 11.7” deep x 16.1” wide. I would definitely recommend this durable trash can.

    Sleek & stylish
    This is a very sleek and stylish trash can. I like the grey color of it, it looks great in a white & grey kitchen. It has a "soft close" lid, so you never have to hear the lid slam down when it's closing. Of course, it has a step to open the can with your foot, which is super convenient. The surface of the can appears durable and easy to wipe clean when needed. I appreciate that this can has a stainless steel rim around the edge, meant for concealing the top edge of your trash bag. Unfortunately, even when I pull the trash bag all the way to the edge of the pull strings at the top of the bag, wait the bag falling in, you can still see the edge of the bag showing on the trash can. The stainless steel rim needs to be about 1/2" longer and then it would conceal the bag properly and improve the sleek & stylish look of the can. For this reason, I give it 4 stars because in the end, you end up seeing the bag anyway, but it's still a nice can.

    Perfect trash can for kitchen or craft room
    I like using this trash can in my craft room for all the scraps of paper, etc. It is the perfect size for the craft room and also works really well as a kitchen garbage can. It holds quite a bit of trash. The ring the holds the bag in place is great. It holds it securely so I'm not chasing the top of the bag and losing it into the garbage. I like that the lid is made onto the can. All you have to do to put a new bag in/take old bag out is lift it up. This is also great for in the kitchen because my dog can't knock the lid off and get into the trash. The lever to raise the lid works really well. I haven't any problems with opening the can. I also like that it closes automatically!

    Great trash can!
    Thank you so much for sending me this gorgeous trash can. The trash can looks Great in my home. Very sleek. I love that this can has a lid that can hide the trash bag lining the inside.I love how this trash can can hold the things that I don't want but look so good doing it! This trash can fit snugly in my kitchen and was not bulky and cumbersome to get around. I am bragging about a step can! But the step can is really worth raving about. The step itself is easy to depress and when the lid closes it is completely quiet. I received this step can as part of the Sparkreviewer program.
