Rubbermaid Elite Stainless Steel Step-On Trash Can, 12 Gallon, Charcoal, Wastebasket for Home/Kitchen/Garage/Apartment/Office

perfect in every way. the stay open feature is meh, but I don't use it and even if it was perfect i wouldn't use it. it is so easy to just lift the plastic bin inside the metal one out... I just do that if I need a wide open receptacle for something. Also worth noting - our foot-level broke a bit after a year, still functional but not as good. I have kids so maybe it gets abused i don't know. Anyway it has a 5 year warranty and after submitting a claim easily they had a replacement sent to my by the next morning. very impressive. highly recommended.

We bought this as a gift.

Way higher quality than I expected. The lid prop open feature is nice.

This product has a built in trash container which is easily removed. The material is durable and the container fits a trash bag snuggly allowing for prevention of the bag from slipping. It has an easy close lid. Overall highly recommend.

Great trash can. All the other reviews are correct except for the ones mentioning the stay-open tab to keep the lid up for extended tasks. The tab is defective and doesn’t hold up the lid. It doesn’t even stop it for a second. I thought I would be annoyed by this, but I honestly love the trash can and it’s easy to step on the pedal for extended periods if needed. It works perfectly with glad forceflex 13-gallon bags and I am sure with other 13-gallon bags. It is so easy to remove the inner bin, and the bag molds to the trash. It’s just a much more pleasant experience than with other trash cans I previously used. Rubbermaid should have scrapped the keep-open red plastic tab since there is no way that option ever worked in any testing with the metal build, but I ended up not caring at all about this feature. Still, it’s why I deducted a star.

The design function works well overall, but I don’t know the number of cycles the lift mechanism was engineered for. I know it’s a known name but my suggestion is don’t use a heavy foot when possible. Speaking of lift, when the (lid/door) goes upward and if you do use a heavy foot, most counters have a lip that this door will hit when it goes up which will dent it with continuous use. (A soft insulation foam adhesive strip attached to the counter lip bottom edge may help here if you have kids if it concerns you) -> If your layout permits this to be next to a wall and not a counter, this should NOT be a problem, but now you know.Also, sliding the red tab over to keep the lid in the vertical open position, (which is a bit tight new and hopefully loosens up later) the can will need to be moved away from the counter lip overhang by however many inches, not a complaint but an observation, (again, only if using it next to a counter and not a wall ).The 13Gal bag installs easier and fits better at the top fold over point of the inner bin (IMO) since you don’t have a clunky large plastic rim most trash cans are made of today. And since it is a bin inside a can, your fill capacity may drop just a little bit due to size design, but then again your not going to overfill it now since you want that door to close as intended. Also, the trash seems to stay rectangular when removed but it still depends on the looseness of the material you put in.You’ll know more of the odors are contained when you open it because they will be stronger fromnot seeping into the air as easily, a good thing.The metal finish looks nice (IMO) and wraps completely around the unit without a false back as some use. I just use window cleaner & rag to wipe it occasionally on the finish. Inside, I double bag for any leaking, and if penetration happens just wipe away with a wetted paper towel of your preferred germ killer formula if ever.So yes I definitely like how it functions overall with the intent to keep my hands off the surfaces.

I've tried several different types of kitchen trash cans over my many years. I almost went for one of the cheaper brands, but after reading other reviews and seeing the warranty, I decided on this one.I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, and it's WORTH EVERY PENNY.

This is great. Buy it. The finish is beautiful, like a 65 mustang in the kitchen corner.Bag holds! Well- designed, works great.Worth every penny. Very well packed!!
