Looks Great and Works Well - Awesome Service!
I recently got the SONGMICS 13 Gallon (50 L) Trash Can, and it's just what I needed! The color is stunning and fits in perfectly with my room’s style, giving it that classy vibe. Unfortunately, my first one arrived with a dent. Colby was really quick to respond and even offered a 25% discount if I decided to keep it, which was nice of him. But I went for a replacement instead, and I'm happy I did. The service was great – the new trash can was delivered the next day, in shape! Plus, there was a roll of trash bags thrown in, which was a lovely surprise. It’s the little things that make a difference. This trash can is not just useful; it adds some style too, and I recommend it!

I have to say, I'm really impressed with this trash can. It's sturdy and arrived well-packaged. It even came with 15 bags, which was a nice touch. I found a great trick to hide the bag—it’s easy to pull it down and fit it into the can without much showing. About the logo on the front, mine had a removable label that I just stuck on the back to keep the name handy. Compared to my old trash can, which had a flimsy tab holding the pedal in place, this one has a solid bracket that’s screwed on, so it feels like it’ll last. The step pedal is thick and the mechanism that lifts the lid works smoothly without a sound. I love the modern look, and it stays put on my vinyl floor, no more sliding around like my last one. I’ll update my review after some time, but so far, it's worth the price I was hesitant to pay for a trash can!

This trash bin is beautiful and adds a nice touch to my kitchen. It’s just the right size and made from good materials. If you want to avoid complicated mechanisms or tough assembly, this is the perfect choice. It does keep any bad smells from escaping, which helps with pesky mosquitoes too. It was also delivered quickly and packed well.

This kitchen trash can has been great so far! With its steel exterior and the plastic liner, it feels sturdy. My only concern is the plastic pedal on the floor for opening it; I hope it holds up. It would be nice if that part was made of thicker plastic covered in shiny metal to prevent any potential breaking, but so far, so good. It looks good and seems well-made. The price is decent, though I wished it were a bit lower, but maybe that’s the cost of the nice blue design. It's easy to use and has a great capacity. Some people mentioned issues with the included gift bags, but I don't see a problem switching to standard 13-gallon bags. My step-son tried a larger bag, and while it didn’t look great, it worked. I have 13-gallon bags ready to use from now on, so no special bags are needed. Plus, the lid keeps my Labrador out of the trash, which is super practical. It’s a nice balance of functionality and that pop of navy or dark blue color. I do wish for a shiny surface since it wouldn’t show dirt as easily, but the matte blue is still attractive.

Great Purchase!
Finding durable trash cans and recycle bins that also look good in the kitchen isn't easy, but these are perfect! They arrived quickly and were packed well—no cracks or dents at all. I ordered two, and they each came in their own box, which was nice. The color and size are exactly as described, and they fit neatly against my wall without sticking out too much. They’re light enough to slide on my floors effortlessly. My regular trash bags from Walmart fit nicely, plus they even included some sturdy bags, which was a nice touch. The interior can be taken out easily for bag changes, although I do sometimes have to adjust it to make sure it sits properly for the lid to close. The pedal is easy to use, and the lid opens smoothly by foot or hand. Cleaning them is a breeze with a damp cloth, and they stay looking good—even with my cats around, I don’t see their nose prints or water splashes. The price feels right for what you get. I wish I had found these sooner instead of dealing with my old bins all the time! 😂

Stylish and effective!
I’m really happy with this trash can. The bronze finish is nice and classy—it doesn’t look like a regular trash can at all, so it fits in well with my decor and even adds to it. The lid opens and closes smoothly, with a quiet motion that feels nice and sturdy. It’s effortless to use, with no sticking or delay, which is great for everyday use. One of the best things is how it keeps odors in check. I don’t smell anything, even with regular kitchen waste, which helps keep my space fresh. Overall, it’s practical and looks good—just what I wanted in a trash can.

Great design and sturdy, but inner bin has odor issues
Before buying this trash can about a year ago, I did some solid research and found it to be one of the top picks for its price. I can confirm that it's a pretty attractive piece. The brand's logo is understated, and the lid does a great job keeping the trash bag hidden with minimal fuss. The inner liner can be a bit tricky sometimes, needing a little adjustment for the lid to close properly. It handled a hectic move without any significant damage—just one tiny scratch and no dents. The pedal still works just as well as it did on day one. My only issue is that the inner plastic bin seems to soak up odors more than any other can I've had. It hasn't been in direct contact with much trash, just a few minor spills. Still, it picks up smells through scented bags and clings to them. I just took out a pretty stinky bag, and the empty can still smelled like the trash was there—though it's not bad when the lid is closed, which I do appreciate. But depending on what I've thrown away and how long it sits, I find myself needing to put the can outside for some fresh air and disinfectant every few weeks. That's more often than I'd expect since the inner bin doesn't even touch the garbage. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I didn't want to spend a ton, and I'm pleased with the quality. I'm okay with putting in a bit of extra work to maintain a sturdy and nice-looking trash can that should last a while. Fingers crossed the pedal stays strong!

Looks nice, with a snug and quiet lid
We just got this kitchen trash can a few days ago, so this is more of a first impression. The size and color work perfectly for us. It looks brand new and nice, and the pedal operates smoothly. The lid closes quietly and sits snugly, which is great. However, it would be nice to have a little handle on the front to make opening it easier since we don't always need to lift it up very far. My only concern is that I had to stretch the trash bag to fit over the bin, which might get annoying over time. That's the only reason I'm giving it four stars. Also, it arrived well packaged.

Fantastic Find
Finding durable trash cans and recycling bins that actually look good in the kitchen can be tricky, but these are perfect for the price. They arrived quickly and were packed well—no dents or cracks at all. I ordered two, and they came separately instead of stacked, which was nice. The color and size were spot on, and they fit neatly against the wall or island without sticking out too much. They're light enough to slide easily on hard floors. My usual trash bags from Walmart fit just right, and I was happy to see a roll of sturdy bags included too. Taking the inner bin out for bag changes is easy, though I sometimes need to adjust it a bit for the lid to close properly, but it’s not an issue. The pedal works great, and the lid opens and shuts smoothly. Plus, they're easy to clean with just a damp cloth, and they don’t show any marks from my cats or splashes. Considering the quality, the price is just right. I wish I had switched to these sooner; I used to hate my old ones!

Stylish and Functional with Great Service!
I absolutely love my new 13 Gallon trash can from Hawkins Woodshop! The color is stunning and fits beautifully with my room's décor, giving it a nice touch. My first one had a dent when it arrived, but Colby was helpful and offered a discount to keep it. I decided to go for a replacement instead, and I’m glad I did—the new one arrived the next day in shape! The swap was easy and smooth. Plus, there were some trash bags included, which was a nice little extra. This trash can is not only useful but also adds some style, and I recommend it!

Good kitchen trash can overall
I'm really happy with this kitchen trash can. The steel outside and the plastic liner make it feel sturdy. My only worry is the plastic pedal used to open it; I wish it was a bit tougher. But so far, it's holding up fine. If that changes, I'll update my review. For now, it's a solid can that looks nice too! The price is decent; I was hoping it would be cheaper, but I guess the nice blue color adds to the cost. It's easy to use and has a great capacity. I saw some complaints about the included gift bags, but I don't think that's an issue since regular 13-gallon bags fit perfectly. My stepson tried a larger bag, and while it wasn't the best look, it worked fine. I'm sticking to my 13-gallon bags anyway. This trash can is pretty and seems well made. Plus, the lid keeps my dog out of the trash, which is a big plus. I do like a shiny finish because then it wouldn't show dirt as much, but the matte blue is still attractive.

All Over Excellent
Durable trash cans/recycle bins that look nice in a kitchen are hard to find at a reasonable cost. These fit the bill entirely. They came quickly, in excellent packing material w/ no cracks or dents in the cans. I ordered two and they came in separate boxes, not stacked. They are true to color and size. They fit flush against a wall/island and don’t stick out too far. The weight is manageable and they will slide across hard surfaces easily. The standard trash bags I use (from Walmart) fit well, although a roll of sturdy bags was included, which I appreciated. The interior is easy to remove to get the bag out and replace it. I find I sometimes have to adjust it so the interior goes in completely so the lid shuts. It’s not a big deal. The pedal is easy to use and the lid opens and closes smoothly. They’re also easy to open w/ your hand. They’re easy to clean w/ a damp cloth. They don’t get dirty looking and best of all, my cats’ nose prints and water splashes don’t show. The cost is appropriate to the quality. I wish I had found these earlier instead of cursing my old ones every day 😂

Songmics 8 gallon Black Trash Can
I’m impressed. Sturdy, packed well box. Came with 15 bags inside. I discovered if you pull the bag down as shown in photo, push a little thru the hole in back, gently put liner in can, you can barely see the bag at all. As far as complaints about the logo in the front, mine had a removable static stick label, which I put on back of can to remember th. E name. Unlike my former trash can which had just a little plastic tab holding the metal piece to the step pedal at the top (which broke by the way but after 5 years), this can has a sturdy bracket which is screwed on and could be replaced as long as you could order the part from the company. The step pedal seems thick and durable as is the plastic guide that moves the stem to the lid. It does not make any noise upon closing. I really like the shape, looks contemporary. No movement or sliding of the can on the vinyl flooring, which was a consistent problem with old can. Will update after I’ve had it for a while, but this far, well worth the money that I really didn’t want to spend on a trash can!

Nice color, size and finish!
The new trash can looks so nice in our kitchen. The color just makes it blend into the background, rather than standing out like a sore thumb. It fits perfectly in our space!

Sturdy, handsome, but inner bin absorbs odors
Before I purchased this trash can, which I have now owned for about a year, I did quite a bit of research and it seemed to be among the best performers in its price class. I find that to have held true on most fronts. It's certainly an attractive trashcan. I appreciate that the brand label is unimposing and the lid hides the trash bag effectively and (usually) without much extra effort. The inner plastic liner sometimes needs a little jiggle before it'll settle in the proper position so that the lid actually closes. This trash can has survived a somewhat chaotic move with barely any damage - no dents, maybe one tiny scratch in the outer coating. The pedal still works just as well as on day one. My one complaint is that the inner plastic bin absorbs odors like no other plastic trash can I've ever owned. It has barely even gotten in direct contact with trash, no big leaks, maybe a drop here or there. It will literally absorb the smells through a scented trash bag and hold on to them. Just now I removed a pretty smelly bag of trash and the empty can smells as if the trash was still sitting there - granted, it barely smells when the lid is closed. That I do appreciate. Still, depending on the kind of trash I have and how long it sits there, I have to put the can outside to soak in disinfectant and air out every couple of weeks or months. More often than I think I should have to, considering that the bin itself doesn't even touch trash. At the end of the day, I don't regret my purchase. I didn't want to spend more money and I'm overall satisfied with the quality of the item. I'm willing to do a little more maintenance to have a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing trashcan that will last a good long while. Here's to hoping the pedal keeps holding up.

Don't believe all the bad reviews. It's a good kitchen trash can.
So far this is a very good kitchen trash can. Between the steel exterior and the plastic liner can, I believe it's sturdy. I am concerned about the plastic pedal on the floor, that is pressed to open the can because it is plastic. I hope that part lasts. I believe if it were a thicker, more durable plastic, that was covered with shiny metal, then the metal would help keep the plastic part of the pedal from breaking. But the pedal has not broken for us. If that changes then I'll change my review. But for now, it seems to be a durable can that's well made and is also quite pretty! The price is fair to middle. I was hoping for a little lower price, but then maybe the pretty blue costs more - it's a designer look. It's quite easy to use and the capacity is very good. Others complained about the gift bags that were included. I don't see how it will cause a problem when switching to any 13 gallon size bag. It's exactly the same size as regular 13 gallon bags you get from the grocery store. My step son put a bigger bag in it... It didn't look nice, but it stayed up and collected trash, so that worked for me. But I have 13 gallon bags and we'll use them from now on. I didn't have to purchase special bags for this trash can. It's pretty and I believe it's made well. The lid keeps my Labrador from getting into the trash and that's practical... It's a mix of practical and a pop of pretty navy or dark blue. I'd personally like a shiny surface because it doesn't show dirt easily. But the flat blue (no shine) is very attractive.

Great trash can
Good looking and works well. Easy to replace trash bags and the slow close lid is nice. Keeps the smell contained. Foot pedal for the lid works great. We have had it for a few months now and are very pleased.

Classy garbage can
This is a nice big garbage can. I love the colour. It’s very functional but it’s also attractive. I’ve had this now for over a year and have absolutely no regrets in buying it. It’s sturdy, the lid opens easily, and a quick wipe removes all fingerprints. I recommend this product.
