Overview
This EKO step can pairs 20-gallon stainless steel capacity with a rear compartment built to store spare 13-gallon liner bags, so a fresh one is on hand the moment the full one comes out.
The rear storage compartment is the distinguishing feature here: it holds extra 13-gallon bags even though the can itself takes a larger 20-gallon liner for daily use. The foot pedal is rated by EKO for 200,000 cycles, and a soft-close lid mechanism is built to stop the slam and bang step cans are often criticized for.
- Matte stainless steel, fingerprint-resistant finish
- Suited to kitchen, office or similar spaces
- Bi-force damper soft-close mechanism
- Rear compartment sized for 13-gallon bags
Who it's for
Fits a kitchen wanting a large-capacity step can with a stainless finish and a solved liner-storage problem. Less relevant for a small kitchen or tight footprint, since a 20-gallon can suits a household generating real daily waste volume.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 20-gallon capacity cuts down on bag changes
- Rear compartment stores spare 13-gallon liners
- Foot pedal rated for 200,000 cycles
- Soft-close lid avoids slamming
- Large 20-gallon footprint needs real floor space
Performance notes
A bi-force damper controls the lid's soft open and close, the mechanism EKO credits for quiet operation instead of a slamming lid. The foot pedal is rated for 200,000 presses, a durability figure aimed at daily multi-year use. The rear compartment is sized for 13-gallon bags specifically, separate from the can's own 20-gallon liner capacity, so it works as bag storage rather than a second bin.
