iTouchless SoftStep 16 Gallon Step Trash Can & Recycle Bin with Activated Carbon Filter Deodorizers, Stainless Steel, 2 x 8 Gallon (30L) Removable Color-Coded Buckets, Soft Close and Airtight Seal

It is a good size and holds both recyclables and Trash. Nice design. Not really thrilled with how the trash bag fit in the bins. They could come up with a better system to hold the bags tight in the bins. I think it is a bit pricey. Replacement parts are very expensive. This is my second one. I wanted to get the first one fixed and the cost of parts was just about as much as ordering the new new. So I got a new one and hope it last at least two to three years.

FIRST, in these days of COVID 19, the Amazon Warehouse Crews the Amazon Drivers are truly brave souls.They risk their health so that we get the items that we want or need.I want to say Thank You Guys for all that you do.I truly hope that other customers are recognize theheroes that are knowingly facing this Virus and saying “Do your worst”.Now for my review:You wonder, “What can I say in a review for a Garbage-Recycling bin?”.I was very, very wrong!We received the product from Amazon, early and in great shape as usual. The unit was well packaged from the factory with the Amazon overpack further protected the recycle unit. The bin came out of its packaging in perfect shape.I decided to use the trash/recycle bin for a week to get a feel for it’s quality or lack thereof. The following are the results of my discoveries.Whenever I have used a plastic bin inside a metal housing, I have had an awful time trying to fit the trash can liner around the top of the plastic insert in a way that the trash can liner does not show outside the stainless bin.I have had to go to extremes like putting extra tension on the top of the bag by using short pieces of duct tape to take up the slack in the plastic bag, or spend far too long trying to stuff the excess bag material down the outside of the plastic bin.My wife said “What is the point of spending 10-15 times what a sixteen gallon plastic garbage can, to have the plastic liners show outside the stainless steel bin. I couldn’t argue with her.Our kitchen is small so we cannot put a trash bin of any size beneath the sink, and we have to recycle clean metal, plastic materials, glass and clean paper. As the trash and recycle bins in plain view in the kitchen.After a weeks use, I want note the following that I feel would be very useful for prospective buyers to be able to factor into their decision.A. The unit we received was well designed and manufactured.*Doors opened and closed easily and silently.*All joints were carefully crafted and finished in a manner that did not make them excessively apparent.*There were no sharp edges.*The bins fit tightly into the stainless steel container.*There is a bracket at the bottom of each of the two stainless bins to guide the plastic tubs into the correct positioning in order that the lids fit tightly over the bins.* For as far as a trash/recycle bin can be “attractive”, this unit is “attractive.*This unit absolutely is more attractive AND more useful that a standard tall kitchen plastic garbage can.*One of the major, and most important benefits of this unit is the replaceable charcoal filters attached to the inside of each of the bins lids. The tightly closing lids with the odor control, also will cut down on summer and fall flies, if not eliminate them entirely.*The plastic liner tubs have holes placed at strategic locations around each tub to allow the tall kitchen garbage bags to be tucked in. Using these holes almost completely eliminates the issue of the trash bags erupting around the closed lid. *The company includes a short instruction sheet to ensure that the use of these holes is not overlooked.*The manufacturer also includes a card with instructions on obtaining a free set of extra filters. and a set of trash bags “designed” to fit the bins “precisely”. For my part, I am happy to have the extra filters, and the garbage bags won’t go to waste, but it will take some convincing to draw me away from grocery store tall kitchen trash bag.*They sell the replacement filters directly, and they are available on Amazon as well. They also sell the replacement cylinders that allow the lids to close slowly and quietly.*One of the insert tubs is blue to indicate which bin for recycle items. The garbage bin is black. We use talk kitchen garbage bags to line the bins to minimize the need for cleaning the tubs as frequently.To summarize: the Touchless Soft Step Trahcan and Recycle Bin, is that this set of bins is the best of several that we have had, “Hands Down”

The functionality of the trash can is fine. The trash bags might fit better if you use their products.I did not notice until after I set it up and started using it that there was a dent in the back left side. The box was not damaged so not sure that shipping can be blamed. Very disappointed since it is a $150 trash can. I wish I would have inspected out of the box.

Very good dual garbage/recycling makes it easier to keep your kitchen organized. The foot pedal works great and operates smoothly. The stainless has a nice shine and only time will tell how well it holds up after a few years. It has two long narrow bins on each side, if you use up alot of garbage this might be cumbersome to constantly change. It is a bit pricey for just a can to hold garbage but if it lasts for a long time it will be worth the money.

The Trash and Recycle bins are cheap plastic. These bins have cracked within the year. I reached out to the company and they wouldn't do anything at that time. Even now they don't even carry a replacement for it. When they had it available they were charging over a $100 for it. They don't cover the product well. And for the cost of it look elsewhere with someone who stands behind their products. I will never buy anything from them again.

Soft step opening frees up messy hands lifting the lid. Slow closing lid eliminates noise and unnecessary wear and tear. Built in filters help absorb garbage smells. Compact size fits easily in small spaces. Sleek design doesn’t look like a “garbage can” in the middle of the kitchen. Double sided, easy to remove and replace, bins makes it easy to separate for recycling. Great addition to my kitchen.

Blends with the stainless appliances in tjhe kitchen.

It is easy to clean and the Grt Dane can't open it or tip it over. But it came with a couple small dents which I was able to smooth out with a small ballpoint hammer. But, a couple more dents have appeared. It does need to be pulled away from the wall (or end cabinet) about 2 inches so the lids don't hit the wall and create a new dent. Can't find bags to fit it, so I rigged grocery bags taped to the sides. Even if the bags Amazon sells were ever in stock, I would be wasting a lot of plastic because it needs be emptied before the bag is only about 1/3 full. I do like the separate lids for trash and recycling. Since our recycling needs to be clean and not bagged, not having a liner doesn't matter. The wet garbage is the problem when the bags don't fit.
