Perfect. Bad reviews are mainly criticizing its small size which is absurd.
By Bops on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021
I find it absurd that people can rate this product poorly for its small size. The size is clearly mentioned in the listing. I think it's up to the buyer to figure out what dimensions they need before ordering, or if they order incorrectly because they didn't do their due diligence, that's understandable but certainly don't blame the seller for your own mistake. Just because the thing doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for someone else (some of us live in tiny apartments, single rooms in boarding houses, dorms, or have small offices or art studios...some want to separate their paper and plastic from trash in their bathrooms, some aren't using this for trash at all, be imaginative and don't assume your needs should be the needs of others or blame he company for making products to suit a variety of consumers' needs. There's a lid for every pot (or trash can as the case is here). This is the smallest dual bin trash can I could find and I needed just this size for my mom's bedroom. It closes perfectly, meaning the lid comes down all the way when you release the pedal. It's very nice looking and and as well-built as SimpleHuman trash cans (I read Amazon contracts with SimpleHuman to make some of their trash bins so this might be one of those). I use SimpleHuman size D trash bags (I actually use cheaper dupes made by PlasticPlace size D, they are cut precisely like the SimpleHuman bags, the ones in this size are thin though so if you are putting very heavy things in the trash, you might want a stronger bag, I guess they assume such a small bin would't require the thickness, but there are times when that's not the case). The D is a little loose but works well, I think R might fit more snugly and I might try that next but D is fine and the lid closes just fine with D bags in place. Not much more to say about this nice-looking small dual-bin receptable. Very well made and well designed.

This product MUST be a practical joke.
By Thomas J. Herron on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020
I do not understand how this product is so highly rated. Using this trash can is (and has been) frustrating at about every turn. Do not buy. I shall elaborate: 1. Damaged Upon Arrival. In Stage 1, you discover how flimsy the product can is. As advertised, the trashcan looks like it should be sturdy, but (for me) arrived dented. Better yet (and apparently through some sort of magic), the trash can develops dents along the outer framing--totally on its own and despite careful use (e.g., no throwing off a balcony). 2. Normal Trash Bags Are Useless. Stage 2 is when the frustration begins to percolate. The majority of grocery and other convenience stores sell large (or "tall") trash bags, and would I bet dollars to doughnuts that this is the size most consumers (including me) are used to. However, the two buckets on this bad boy are so small that it's like figuring out a Rubik's cube to get a normal-sized trash bag fitted on each bucket. I doubt that you would prefer smaller bags for ordinary kitchen use, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when everyone is at home. 3. Buckets Are Too Small. The measurements are accurately stated online, but the buckets are MUCH smaller than you'd think. You've probably already cursed yourself a few times having installed bags that are too big for buckets that are too small. Now you're in for the real treat in Stage 3: the buckets can only accommodate trash for 1-2 days maximum! And if you have a family, that figure drops down to 1-2 hours. Taking out the trash occurs more frequently than using the restroom. To add insult to injury, if you have normal trash bags (which I'm sure you do), they will be half full when the trash can is emptied, because they were too big for the buckets in the first place. Awesome! 4. Trash Bags Hard To Remove From Buckets. Stage 4 is the cherry on top. There is a handle on each bucket, and it operates similarly to the handles on grocery shopping baskets (i.e., falls down around the rim and can be pulled up when in use). Here, when you lift the trash bags from these ridiculous child-sized buckets, the handle on the bucket is unavoidably lifted along with the bag, entangling both and causing the bucket to be lifted right out of the trashcan. The upshot is that in Stage 4, everything becomes funny and you start laughing. The denouement, so to speak. 5. You Write Your First Amazon Review. No explanation needed.
