I have three of these. It’s small but you can pack a lot in there. The smart design of the cover makes the can easy to use. The cover is sturdy and does not wobble, but is easy to remove for cleaning. I thought $15 was a bit much- $10-12 would have been a better price. I bought with coupons to bring the price down.
The first one I use in the kitchen. I don’t line it with anything. I use it for all types of food prep and kitchen/food trash. Just wash & dry at the end of the day.
The second one I use at my desk. Since we recycle, I found that most of my desk garbage was paper and plastic and very little garbage. It fits nicely on the corner of my desk, freeing up valuable floor space.
The third we use for sewing/projects. All the fine threads/scrap-fits in perfectly & is not affected by static- sticking to the sides of regular trash cans.
I would highly recommend this product.

Greetings,
This is nice solid can. You can use small bags in the store in it. It’s big enough to hold the waste from the bathroom and that’s about it. It won’t hold my mouth wash bottle but that should be recycled anyway. The lid is nice and strong.

i had hoped to use this as a sleek countertop garbage can, since i don’t have a disposal. it’s a little small for that purpose, but looks nice anyway, and is convenient for those constant little bits of trash (bread twist ties, straw wrappers, etc, etc.

I have a big kitchen, and my coffee pot is on the opposite end from the trash can. I got tired of walking across the room to throw away my Equal packets and my plastic stirrers. I know that sounds lazy, but it was just irritating, especially when I am half asleep in the morning.
My coffee pot is stainless steel, and this mini trash can looks perfect near it. It serves exactly the purpose I bought it for.
If you need a mini trash can for small (very small) bits of trash, this is a nice one. Looks good sitting on the counter.
