Lasting Quality & Appearance, Easy Maintenance, Well-Designed, Friendly Customer Service
I waited over a year before reviewing these garbage cans because I have had nothing but bad luck with others for years, and wanted to give the most accurate review of this product. I am very pleased to say that this garbage can did more than just pass the initial “smell test!”Our family has been through many garbage cans through the years…the lid and step mechanism fails, swing or snap lids use valuable interior space and require touching, the can cracks or the finish scratches or dulls, depending upon what it’s made of, and the size and shape rarely fits the limited kitchen space we have and is either too big and clunky or too small. The last one impeded into some of our walking space, and we didn’t want to saw out any of our under-the-counter cabinet space to slip in the cans. The ones too narrow are a pain to pull bags from, inevitably leading to garbage on the floor. And I’ll add that decent lids are important if you have young children toddling around and exploring, or pets rummaging for food, and they look more attractive and reduce odors – when they work.The size and design of this one alleviated all of these problems simultaneously, and the price was reasonable. I realize that this is a lot to say about a garbage can, but we use it constantly in our daily lives and have to look at it all the time. It can make or break the appearance and space in a kitchen, and a poorly built one can easily throw anyone into a bad mood.That said, this can is topple-proof. It’s solidly built of stainless steel, yet not too heavy to move.The lid at first appears chintzy because it is black plastic, not stainless steel like the rest of the can, but I see now that it was part of the clever design. The plastic is sufficient and it doesn’t reduce from the overall look, but it makes the lid lighter, reducing the strain and weight on the mechanism in the lid so that it moves freer and quicker, and it reduces the likelihood that the mechanism will snap and fail like others I’ve hadThe stainless steel on this can is of unusually good quality. It retains its original shine, has a smooth finish that is easy to wipe if there is a spill, and it remains dent- and scrstch-free. The can literally looks like it did when we first removed it from the box.The size and shape was perfect, plus two cans in one. We measured the space beforehand and compared. We needed the space of two cans for a very narrow space – one for garbage, and one for recycling. This was always a big problem, but no more! The cans fit squarely against the end of our cabinets without a gap, left sufficient room for the lids to open freely, and left open space to walk by them. This was a first.Each of the two sections in the can has a dark, solid, hard plastic liner, each with a strong stainless steel handle to lift them out separately. At first the handles seemed to be unnecessary and in the way, as we thought we’d just lift the bag, but we soon found the design to be a smart one. The handles on the inserts allowed us to lift the inserts out and to safely transport overly-full garbage bags to the outdoor cans while eliminating the risk of spillage. At the same time, it allowed us the benefit of the extra space due to more narrow cans. The cans hold the regular 13-gallon sized tall kitchen bags, by the way. The inserts also keep the interior of the cans very clean and the smooth inserts, themselves, don’t require regular cleaning, save a defective bag or seepage from liquids poured into the trash, perhaps. The exterior of the can rarely needs cleaning or polishing to maintain its original good appearance – an occasional wipe will do. It is truly fingerprint-free as the manufacturers state.When I initially had a few questions about the can and contacted the manufacturer, I received an immediate, friendly response from one of their team members who demonstrated a willingness to accommodate me should any questions or issues arise then or later. I could tell that this company takes pride in their product and takes customer satisfaction very seriously. The company doesn’t just sell cans, they are the actual manufacturers of them and say that they have actually modified their product multiple times in keeping with ideas of customers for improving their garbage cans! The cans are their craft, and they invite suggestions by their consumers in order to please. They stated that they stand behind their cans 100%, always, and will do what’s needed to maintain trust. I was very impressed. Stainless steel garbage cans of this quality aren’t small pocket change, running $100 to $200 a pop! This can was very reasonably priced.Thank you for a great product and your assurance of a guarantee!

Great Dual-Compartment Bin with One Annoying Flaw
This SONGMICS trash can is a fantastic, highly functional addition to the kitchen, especially for those who want to easily separate trash and recycling. The dual 8-gallon (30L) compartments are perfectly sized for standard kitchen use, and the included trash bags were a nice bonus to get started. The bin looks sleek, operates smoothly, and generally does exactly what it should.The only reason I’m docking a star is due to a small design flaw that becomes noticeable every time I change a full bag. The internal handle (or mechanism) seems to get in the way and snags the bag when pulling it out. This often requires careful maneuvering, and when the bag is heavy, it’s slightly frustrating.Overall, it’s a quality, good-looking bin that is highly practical, but be prepared for a minor struggle when removing those heavy, full bags until you find the right technique!

Came with minor dent but still nice
Really nice. Came banged up in the lower corner, it’s not worth returning for.I like the soft shut, spacious, stainless steel elevates the space.

It’s surprising how much difference the larger size made. Especially for recycling items. Well made, looks good. Removable internal compartments with soft close. Good value too. Important to check carefully for dents on unpacking. Mine was slightly dented in transit and a perfect replacement was shipped even before I had returned the dented one. Great service. Very pleased with my purchase!

Great quality and it looks neat and clean in the kitchen. I’m pretty sure all of my friends and family members have now ordered some version of this garbage/recycle system (1, 2 or 3 compartments). It does come with specific bags which fit perfectly; however, I use my normal garbage bags. They are a bit wider but work just the same.

Un peu plus grande que prévu mais elle fonctionne bien
