My first impression of this trash can is its smaller than I thought it would be. I like the touch top, but not now that my puppy has figured out how to open the trash can and get into the trash. For reference, this is 8 gallons, smaller than 2 home depot buckets. For my family of 4 it needs to be taken out every day or two because of its size. I got this because it hinges on the inside of the can and my old one hinged on the outside and scratched up our wall. If you don't have a dog and/or have a small family this might be perfect for you.

Simple, stylish design that can fit in with the decor of any room. Smooth lines make for a sleek look. No overhanging plastic bag edges from around the lid. The lid opens and closes to touch without difficulty. Three custom trash bags are included in the box to specifically fit this can and the bag type is noted on the inside of the lid for easy re-ordering. The inner hard plastic bucket can be removed to wash out if needed. The can also has a single handle on its back to move it around.

Great size and exceptionally light weight. The finish is finger print resistant even if you have a little grease on your hands. the lid opens easily with a light touch. It does not hold in smells very well and is not any sort of air proof. It also seems to want to only accept a certain type of bag that is not a standard size and seems to be specific to this size of can. It did come with a large number of these bags so that is nice. Overall good can and nice color.

This trash can is sturdy and stays upright but is lighter than I expected from looking at it. I love that it opens from a soft touch to the lid and that it doesn't need batteries or use a foot pedal. I also love that the lid sits down in the top so the dog can't operate it!. It comes with a sample pack of bags which fit perfectly, but I suspect that my little town stores are not going to have. I can make my standard 13 gallon bag work, but it isn't nearly as nice as the 8 gallon tall, skinny bags that it is designed to use. The outside and inside wipe off beautifully. It will not fit under a sink but is a welcome addition to our laundry room.

This touch top Trash Can is stylish enough to use in open living spaces. There is no need to hide this can in a utility closet. It has a removable trash bin that takes trash liners for easy disposal. It really does open with the touch of the top and closes just by pushing the lip back down. It has a great design and seems to be quite durable. I have it in my sons bed room.

This is the Brabantia 8 Gal trash can. Photo 1 shows what you get in the box. Note this is not a battery operated trash can—it’s a mechanical mechanism. The upside to this is that you don’t need to periodically replace batteries. The first thing I wanted to find out was whether the 13 gallon trash bags I normally use would fit. Well, they do, but not nearly as nice as the 8 gallon Brabantia bags do (three sample bags come with the trash can). Photo 3 shows my 13 gal bag installed—it was impossible to get it tucked in all the way around. However, as seen in Photo 4, the Brabantia bag fits perfectly (as you’d expect). For a neater look, I recommend using 8 gal bags, though you can actually use either one. Once you have a bag installed, operating the trash can is a breeze. Just press down on the top and the lid gently opens. When finished, you manually close the lid. I like that the entire inside can lifts out for easy cleaning, and the handle in the back makes it very easy to move the can. Overall the trash can operates smoothly and look good. It comes with a 10 year warranty.

This is a high quality can with a full plastic liner with handle that lifts out for emptying or cleaning. It is designed as relatively narrow and tall so fits well in corners. The opens slowly upon touch, and closes easily. The product company is in The Netherlands and the can has a European style and look to it. A small bag of plastic bag liners (3) was also included in the box.

High quality product! It's much lighter that I thought by its look. Sturdy and durable. Nice design and it's a space saver. The trash can includes 3 parts: a beautiful looking metal can with plastic handle, an internal plastic garbage can with the metal handle and a top cap with a push-release lid. Everything fits perfectly and it's very easy to operate. No problem cleaning outside and inside - my hand easily reach the bottom. You cannot see a plastic bag when the lid is closed. Just keep in mind that this trash can needs EXTRA LONG 6-8 gal garbage bags and the can itself will not fit inside kitchen cabinets. As an extra benefit is three sample bags are included. I like this product and I certainly recommend it.

The 8 Gal. Touch Top Trash Can in Metallic Mint Green is another good product from Brabantia. Right off, I love the Mint Green. It adds a little bit of color to the traditional stainless steel look of the can or the whole kitchen. It's nice to have an inner bucket inside the can - for cleaning reasons and to change bags. The soft touch lid means no one has to struggle to get the lid up and open. It's just as easy to not only close the lid but for the lid to catch as well. One of the best features is the handle on the back to carry and move the trash can to different locations. Normally it's a little awkward to do this in my opinion. Cleaning overall, according to the directions, looks like it'll be a breeze, even the latch on the lid can be cleaned with the enclosed instructions. Packed very well in its box - no dents or broken parts. And a 10 year guarantee - who does that?!?!? However, I do not see using this in my kitchen. The 8 gallon size is actually quite small, not something I initially realized. And because it is small, I can see going through bags quite rapidly. And not just any ol' bags. This trash can came with and requires "special liners" which need to be purchased for it and for this, I take 1 star away. You see, I recycle the shopping bags I get from my local supermarkets and department stores when I make purchases there. Due to the narrow opening/width of the can, my paper bags won't fit in there. And trying to re-use large plastic shopping bags means when I pull the "full" bag out of the can, only half of the bag will actually be used once the bag "relaxes" from the very constricted narrow width. I don't mind buying kitchen/lawn/trash bags from the supermarket in that aisle. But I absolutely refuse to buy special-sized "liners" which are not widely available. Another negative - I get all sorts of different sized containers, to-go boxes, and trash and a good percentage of them won't fit through the can's lid, no matter what the actual size of the can is beneath it. And lastly, the only spot where I can have the can sit in my kitchen area is under my breakfast bar. Well, the lid won't open all the way up because it hits the bottom of the countertop above it, limiting the size of the opening for my trash going into it. And because it is so tall, I actually have to bend over slightly to see where the opening of the can is so I don't miss it when depositing trash into it. The can most likely will be relegated to my laundry room or rec room, even though I love its color and it would look really nice in my kitchen instead. Potentially my fault for getting a can so small. The Mint Green color would be perfect for one of my bathrooms but the dimensions aren't right. But still love Brabantia and their quality products.

This 8 gallon trash can is great for small areas, apartments, dorms, garage. I received the metallic mint which is a nice subdued mint color. It came with three bags. They are the 6 to 8 gallon size bags. It has a handle on the pail and a handle in the back to lift it easily. The soft touch lid is a nice feature. Lifts easily and closes nicely. It's approximately 28" H x 11 1/2" W x 12" D. The price point is on the high side but it seems to be a nice, sturdy, stylish trashcan.
