I never thought I could love a trash can...but I love this trash can. For a few years we had a knock off of this Brabantia but it was quite obviously not as well made and the trash bag would constantly slide down into the can. We bit the bullet and dropped almost $150 on this beauty. That was 8 years ago and, though I never dreamed I would spend that much on a trash can, I am so very glad we made the investment!
The can is large enough to fill every square inch of a trash bag and the design of the lid secures the bag in place without any slippage on the inside. The simple touch mechanism is very well made and the lid opens slowly but firmly. We have had a couple of overzealous users (curious toddlers) who broke the latch but a phone call to Brabantia resulted in replacement parts being quickly mailed out for no cost to us at all. Brabantia not only makes a beautiful, functional product but they stand by their product, no questions asked...something almost unheard of these days!
We have truly enjoyed this trash can (crazy, I know!) and we get compliments on it from guests and our children's friends alike! When we first purchased it my parents thought we had lost our mind for spending that much on a trash can...now, 8 years later, my parents were visiting for a week and my dad commented on it "being the best trash can ever". Coming from my somewhat frugal, ever skeptical father that is a huge compliment :)
I'm sure there are a number of online retailers where you can find deals on this garbage bin but we picked ours up at Bed, Bath and Beyond using a 20% off coupon. Check it out...it will make your life complete :)
