This trash can has been perfect for my studio. I use regular 13 gallon bags and they work just fine. It opens and closes without issues and makes for easy hands-free cleanup. After reading so many reviews on other trash cans, I’m glad I went with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect biohazard bin for frontline workers!
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020
I bought this trash can with only one intention - to use as a biohazard bin for my work clothes. My work facility recently got positive Covid-19 cases and I was keeping a regular old garbage bag by my front door to throw my work clothes into while coming in the door. I was going through a lot of trash bags and was looking for a laundry bin with a lid, but that was a no-go since all laundry bins have ventilation holes.. Obviously I didn't want that with it being an airborne virus. So I thought of the next best thing.. A trash can with a foot pedal to open so I wouldn't have to touch anything to open. And after a lot of research, I narrowed down my choices to this one.

Upon receiving, package came in great shape and arrived quickly. I figured with coming down to crunch time with people buying last minute items for Christmas that it would take a while to get here. But it came in within a few days, delivery date as promised.

The can once finally put together looks great and the compact slim size is perfect for fitting by our small townhome entrance. The lid slow closes and works great for what I need it for, keeping me and my family safe!

***As a lot of reviews mentioned the lid is a little tricky to get on!! I followed directions of one of the other reviewers and lid snapped on in a second! Push food pedal down to lift up medal bar on trash can, slide end of bar through middle loops on lid. Then making sure the clamps on left and right side match up and bar stays intact, slowly and carefully turn can upside down. Again make sure everything is in place once lid is flat on floor, then tip just the can 40 degree angle, and lid continues to stay flat on floor. Push down on both sides of can where clamps are and they should snap into place with ease.
