Sized to fit any brand of 13-gallon trash bag, it opens with a sturdy metal foot pedal so your hands stay free while cooking or cleaning, and the Quiet-Close lid lowers gently and silently without a jarring slam. When it's time to swap bags, a raised liner and rotating, locking rim keep the process quick and tidy, while the removable plastic liner wipes clean in moments. Its space-saving profile tucks snugly against a wall or cabinet, and a thoughtful hinge design protects surfaces from scuffs. Best of all, the fingerprint-resistant finish stays looking clean longer, and a simple pass with a microfiber cloth restores its shine, no harsh chemicals or abrasives required. Practical, refined, and designed to fit right into the rhythm of your home, this is where thoughtful function meets everyday beauty.

Review: Far superior to automated models. - After wasting money on three different automated models that seem to confound our nannies, I finally decided to just get a manual version. The nannies were trying to open the automated ones by pulling them up, which would cause them not to close all the way and also strip out gears. They simply could not figure out the whole 'wave you hand over the sensor thing' (scary since they were helping with our kids the first couple of years). Well, the nannies are gone, but our toddlers were touching the automated ones too much, so I decided to go for something a little more obvious. I bought a manual version and chose the Kohler based on so many good reviews. I am glad I did. It's not falling apart like the display models of various brands in the stores. Pros - Obvious and easy to use - Sturdy foot pedal design that isn't likely to break, and it's wider than many - Closes very gently - Easy to clean - Easy to change bags (take out inner shell, remove bag, put in new bag, place inner shell bag into can) - Bags are hidden from view - Bags always stay in place (unlike those metal bar versions where the bag pulls out from under them) CONS - Really none. The up front price is steep, but considering I had spent over a $100 three straight years for cheaply designed automated ones, I am really pleased with this one after 6 months.
Review: Nice and Durable Trash Can - I love these Kohler trash cans with the step lid. They're very good about blocking garbage odors from escaping and very easy to pull the bin out. It's pretty large and holds the standard size trash bags. It's kinda pricey, but I think it's worth it.

## Features

- Hands-Free Operation: Durable metal foot pedal provides hygienic, hands-free use, while the Quiet-Close lid ensures smooth, silent, and gentle closure every time
- Space-Saving Design: Rectangular profile fits snugly against walls or cabinets, with a smart hinge design that prevents scuffs and maximizes compact spaces
- Easy Bag Changes: Raised liner and rotating, locking rim make bag changes effortless, and the trash can is designed to fit any brand of 13-gallon (49-liter) bags
- Fingerprint-Resistant Finish: Stainless steel finish resists fingerprints and smudges, keeping the can looking clean and stylish for longer periods
- Durable & Easy to Clean: Removable plastic liner and stainless steel material clean easily with a microfiber cloth—no need for chemicals or abrasives

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can one make the lid stay open without the pressing the pedal?**
A: Yes, you lift the black rim that fits over the top edge of garbage bag & push it back against the lid when open & will lock in place.

**Q: Can I buy just the 13 gallon insert? I bought the trash can dual-liner size but think I’d rather just have one large trash can insert.**
A: Mine came with an insert. 13 gallon trash bags fit perfectly.

**Q: How tall when lid is open?**
A: About 36 inches.

**Q: Does the 13" width include the step pedel? What is the measurement of just the can width?**
A: The can is 11 1/4" wide by itself, and the pedal adds 2 1/4". Total width is 13 1/2".
We love the can.  Sharp and clean! 13 gallon bags fit PERFECTLY!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made
*by D***H on February 1, 2025*

This garbage can is the best I've ever owned. I've had it for two months with no problems at all. I wish I had ordered it years ago. It keeps odors in and is very easy to keep clean. No smudges. The bags fit perfectly. We are very happy with this purchase. update: It will be three months old Wednesday. This morning It would open half way. Very disappointed. 140.00 is a lot for only three months use. I called amazon, but they wouldn't help me. I would not recommend.
