The 11 Most Popular Kitchen Trash Cans On Amazon

HuffPost Shopping deputy editor Marquaysa Battle can personally vouch for this rectangular stainless steel trash can with a pedal. "I'm obsessed with my Simplehuman trashcan," she says. "It's super durable, easy to clean and holds A LOT. It insulates odor so well that when I, embarrassingly, forgot to empty my trash before a week-long trip and opened my front door, I never smelled a thing. It wasn't until I opened the lid to throw something away that I realized my error. That's how good this thing conceals garbage odor. I never ever want another trashcan to be honest."

The can has a liner pocket so you can store new liners inside the can, a silent-close lid and fingerprint-resistant coating to keep it looking shiny and new. It's available with a steel or plastic lid in three sizes, including one with dual compartments. This can has 4.6 out of 5 stars across over 16,300 ratings.

Promising review: "I use to hide my trash container underneath the kitchen sink because I hate the look of trash sitting in the house. I found this cabinet that not only hides the trash can but also looks good. I live in a small apartment so i like that it does not take up much space but it holds a lot. It is a wonderful accent piece. It is very sturdy and it matches my dining room table perfectly." Anita A.

Promising review: "I am writing this review as I order my second garbage can. I ordered this exact can 6 years ago. It has been amazing. It took 6 years of a large family using it constantly to finally have one of the lid covers break. My kids are very hard on this can. It is roomy on both sides and bags stay in place well. I happily order a new one today. Hopefully it lasts as long as its predecessor." KramerK

Promising review: "We currently have our grandmother living with us, she has poor eye sight. With that comes a multitude of issues. However, having a trash can that allows you to just wave your hand and the lid pops open is genuinely worth it! It even closes after a certain amount of seconds. No extra hassle or worries! In addition to that, it can either be plugged in or run on batteries, your choice! Lastly the replacement of a bag is so easy, my grandmother could do it! Thank you!" Rena'e

Promising review: "I had another stainless steel trash can from Walmart. It was very nice but the lid accelerated and rocked back as I pushed the pedal toward the floor. Not a very good design because I set mine beneath the counter and the lid kept slapping the counter when guests who didnt know how to use it would come over. With this new trash can, the lid opens perfectly and never slaps the counter or wall. It sits just below counter height when fully open so it is perfect. Also, it is hard to describe, but this trash can is different than other trash cans because the mechanism that controls the lid opening does so in a way that the lid does not accelerate as it opens or open abruptly. Smooth action all the way up and down. Never thought Id be writing a review about a trash can." James

Promising review: "My family has had these trash cans for years, and they've never had any issue with them. They are easy to clean. There is a piece that hold that trashbag, and when the lid sits on top of it, it pushed the piece down to add extra security to hold the trashbag in place more securely. I don't have to worry about rust, or smudge marks, or dents with this trash can. Plus, it holds a lot, too." Elizabeth DeCanio

Promising review: "This is my 2nd one. The original lasted 4 years. I loved it enough to buy another. The hands free is great when you are carrying multiple items. It is also great from a avoiding germs point of view. Your hand never touches the trashcan. Highly recommend. I got the one with the electric cord so I don't have to worry about batteries. You'll be happy you bought it." Jo Ann Moschetto

Promising review: "We wanted a large trash can that did not have a lid sensor that would stop working. Plus, the edging around that type of lid gets cruddy no matter how many times you clean it thoroughly and wipe it down. The other best option was a swing-top lid. This trash can fit the bill. It holds a lot if you cook a lot, and I do. When it comes time to take out the trash, the bag is easy to remove, replace, and snaps into place automatically. The last one we had, with its fancier sensor lid, was tough to snap in place, you would have to fight with it to snap into place. The more expensive can also had a lid that wound up snapping where it was hinged. I wash my hands all the time. It is not a stretch or inconcvenience to wash my hands after finishing up food prep and tossing things." Mizz B

Promising review: "I got this great trash can almost a year ago and my only regret is that I didnt get it much sooner. My old 40 gallon dog proof can wasnt bad but this one is MUCH more sleek and I really like it. The bags fit better and are easier to change and it just looks nicer. The biggest issue I had was deciding between stainless and black stainless to match my appliances. I went with stainless and still have no regrets. This was worth every penny. I love the hands free lid opening because it keeps it clean and tidy. I had no idea that it would make such an extreme difference but it really does. The difference is radically different and I didnt expect that. Im very happy with this product." pdat

Promising review: "I purchased this trash can in 2013, & it's still working like a dream! I've thoroughly enjoyed using it bc it has simplied my life by allowing me to easily discard veggie & fruit peelings, emptying small trash cans, vacuum cleaner dust cups, & so much more, without touching the can in any way & hiding the garbage when not in use. The size is perfect for kitchen trash bags, & the can isn't too heavy for me to lift. Changing trash bags is easy, & I've rarely had leakage into the can itself. That has happened only when I put something sharp in the can & put a hole in the bag; I clean it with antibacterial wipes, spray the interior with Lysol, & let it dry before putting in a fresh bag.. The noise when the lid opens is minimal. The batteries last forever, so I've rarely had to replace them. I've even bought one to give as a wedding gift. If I ever need to replace it, I'll definitely buy this brand & style again." Dee D.

Promising review: "This is THE best trash can I have ever had! The soft closed lid is just that ALL the time. It is large and roomy and the trash bags fit and are full when removed- not half full like my in cabinet one. Cleans beautifully and is a perfect addition to my new stainless kitchen." Radean V.
