This is heavy gauge steel with a beautiful and very durable enamel finish. It looks great, it's built like a tank. The pedal assembly is well engineered and easy to use. The lid is heavy which is really nice because it rests on a rubber gasket and seals off odors really well. The cat can't get in, bugs can't get in.
It seems insane to spend this much for a trash can, but this thing is going to probably last 20 years and give us beauty and functionality 20 or 30 times a day. Considering what people pay for a nice looking kitchen, appliances and tools, this is not too much money.
Plus you are supporting one of the last manufacturers making household goods in the USA. It's a good cause.
This garbage can is still going strong almost 5 years later and has had no problems with daily, heavy use. We still consider it to be one of the best Amazon purchases for our family.
Original review: My wife was very skeptical about the cost and size (24 gal in the white color with the hard plastic liner) of this garbage can. Now she couldn't be happier with this purchase, this might be one of the best purchases we've ever made on Amazon (I know its a garbage can but hey hear me out). I work in healthcare and we have a few of these garbage cans around.The 30 gallon garbage bags fit great, the best part is the metal retaining brackets that hold the bag in place so you don't have to worry about the bag falling in anymore. The bag easily pulls out for replacement. The lid also has a seal to contain unwanted smells. We have a family of 6 and this has been a game changer on how many times we needed to take the trash out (our 13 gallon garbage can would be full within 2 days, now with this one, its only once a week). Every time my wife uses this garbage can she has a smile on her face (happy garbage can, happy life!?!??? or something like that)
The current made in China model some changes: They got rid of the holes on the pieces of metal which make up the lever. These holes were there because because with the previous model, you had the option to purchase a pneumatic dampener to turn it into a soft close lid. They newer version gets rid of that, so no soft close option anymore.
The foot press pedal no longer has a rubber grip on it. While easily be remedied with some sandpaper, tape, or rubber pad with adhesive, I did not expect bare metal as that was not what was depicted.
For what is essentially a pricey yet simple, all metal trash can, the welding and powder coating quality are lacking. Poor quality welds on the bottom piece and body. You can see evidence of poor power coating on the bottom of the trash can, as well as drip marks from a "touch up" done to get the product out the factory.
Negatives aside, the red version looks great. The bad powder coating is on the bottom so it isn't normally visible and the worst looking welds (the inner bottom -- the part you see when you remove the liner) will rarely, if ever, be seen so it also doesn't matter too much.
It's still a nice trash can overall -- really love that red powder coat -- but now that it can't be made soft-closing, doesn't have the simple, basic rubbergrip on the foot pedal, and is made in China in an attempt to save on manufacturing costs, I'm not sure the value for money is there.
Value for money aside, the lid does indeed keep in odors for my trash and its sturdiness compared to something like simplehuman is unquestionable. We have one of those voice activated simplehuman kitchen trash cans and I much prefer this one.

I am glad I ordered the one with the plastic liner, which also has the retainer bands. I tried putting a bag over the retainer bands, but some of the bag showed when the lid was closed, and it was just kind of awkward. Maybe I didn't do it correctly. For me, it works perfectly to ignore the retainers and simply fit the drawstring top of the trash bag around the plastic liner, and nothing shows.
I appreciate that the hinge opens the top in a way that makes it possible to put the back of the can right up against the wall without the lid hitting the wall when you open it.
I like it, and I would buy it again -- but I probably won't ever have to.

I installed Bin It - Ultra heavy duty 120 litre XL 80 kg lift tested black bags roll of 10 from Amazon uk and one of these bags fits the supplied liner in my Rubbermaid defender perfectly.
Go for the great combo and enjoy !!
