Overview
A steel foot pedal built for a very long run of steps opens the lid of this semi-round kitchen can. Its flat back fits against the wall, the rounded front gives access to the bin, and a slide lock shuts the lid against curious pets and kids.
Quiet closing, a pet-proof lock and a wall-hugging back are the reasons to buy, and a long warranty backs the pedal. The limit is size and fit: the can is large and sized to a specific liner code, so measure the space and plan on buying liners.
Who it's for
Pet households and families producing a lot of daily kitchen trash suit the capacity and the lock. Small apartments with tight floor space should consider a smaller can.
Pros and cons
- Pet-proof slide lock
- Slow, silent lid close
- Flat back against the wall
- Wall bumper protects paint
- Liners not included
- Plastic body, not steel
- Fitted to a specific liner code
Performance notes
A steel pedal levers the lid open, and a lid control system slows the motion so it closes without a bang. The slide lock blocks pets and children from lifting the lid, and the lid can stay open hands-free during longer chores. A built-in bumper protects the wall behind the can.
