What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this trash can. Many praise its sleek, modern stainless steel design, fingerprint-resistant finish, and how it integrates seamlessly with kitchen appliances. However, a substantial group reports significant mechanical failures—soft-close lids slamming shut, pedal rod plastic nubs snapping, and hinge mechanisms breaking within months or years. Plastic components frequently crack or warp under normal use, and replacement parts are unavailable. Those experiencing no issues love the functionality and aesthetics, while those facing early failures feel misled by the premium pricing. Overall, the product divides customers sharply between design enthusiasts and those frustrated by durability concerns.

Perfect can. It's so nice and I love it. My kids finger prints are no match

Piece of junk
Purchased this product about a year and a half ago and the cheap plastic hinges have both broken for no apparent reason, no way to replace them either. A very expensive product to fail so quickly, I do not recommend this product.

Avoid, poor quality! You're not getting the KOHLER of yesterday anymore.
Broke after a year's use at the hinge, with light use by my wife and I. Considering the premium price I paid for it I expected a durable premium product. I guess I wasted my money - I had to get a replacement, but this time just got the Amazon brand stainless trash can for less than half the price. I am betting it will last longer.

Great BUT plastic liner cracking
The plastic liner is breaking into pieces and therefore doesn’t stay supported properly inside the trashcan, which can create a mess because bag won’t stay in properly. Is there a way to get a new liner? Would hate to replace entire trashcan.
