Overview

Not a touch-free sensor can, this is a foot pedal bin in brushed satin nickel stainless steel. A step opens the lid, and the lid closes gently on its own.

The inner bucket lifts out for emptying and rinsing, and the brushed finish hides fingerprints better than a polished one. The lid closing quietly is useful in a kitchen or office. Liner size and pedal durability are not stated.

Who it's for

Households that fill a kitchen bin daily and want the lid shut between uses. The rectangular shape lines up against a wall or cabinet. Small apartments with little floor space may find the footprint large.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Removable inner bucket
  • Smudge resistant finish
  • Large capacity for a household
Cons
  • Liner size not listed
  • Pedal rating not listed
  • Takes real floor space

Performance notes

The pedal lifts the lid through a lever, so hands stay clean. A damper slows the lid on the way down to cut noise. The brushed texture breaks up reflections, which helps fingerprints blend in.
