Simplehuman lidded step-open trashcan.
Why in the fuck would anyone spend over $100 on a damn trashcan?
We got tired of the plastic ones we were buying breaking, and they were around $60 to begin with.
It holds the bags properly with none falling in. It has built in storage for empty bags inside. It is easily cleanable. The lid opens and closes smoothly, no slamming open or shut. When closed, it keeps any odors inside.
It's been the main trashcan in the central area of our home for four years and is still going strong. So many others we had would only last maybe half a year.
Omg I had two of these cans and loved them so much
Heck yeah. I don't know what brand mine is, but we also splurged on a fancy trashcan. Foot operated. Metal casing, so it's heavy and doesn't shift around when you're trying to use it. Like you said, it holds the bag properly. I'll never go back.
On the other hand, I've been using a cheap garbage can without the lid and it's been good. Mind you, my home is sealed well against flies and if flying bugs become an issue, I'll probably grab the lid. But since water is able to evaporate out of it, it doesn't stink that much. It also helps that I leave food in the fridge until I'm ready to take the garbage out.
