Another $100+ trash can????

Peoplearenuts — Wed, 09 May 2018 12:13:05 GMT

Another $100+ trash can???? Am I so out of touch that I cannot see what is so "special" about this item? I just don't get it. Do the buyers for the QVC kitchen shows really think these cans will be best sellers?

When I "thought" it was time for a new kitchen can, I quickly changed my mind once I saw the prices.

There was nothing wrong with the old one, I was just tired of it. It's still working just fine!

I won't set a price, but I will say, in a kitchen where the can is on display and sitting out, I'd pay a lot to have a sturdy one that opens and closes well with a foot press or a hand press, closes well, and is great looking.

I won't set a price, but if it's on display it ought to be a really nice one. Bed and Bath and Beyond has some as I recall, but I've never priced them because ours in under the sink and is a simple plastic one. But I remember I bought my mother a good stainless steel one for Christmas one year and boy did it look nice and work well and she was THRILLED! LOL!!!

Totally agree @sunshine45. I've had mine for 4 years (foot activated, not the one that opens from just waving your hand). It's a stainless steel, rounded rectangle and looks great with my stainless steel appliances. I would never have an eyesore of a garbage can out in the open in my kitchen (I don't have a closed cabinet for trash). It may be just kitchen cosmetics, but it matters to me.

I know it seems insane to spend on a trash can but I see that hulking mass every day in my kitchen. So I splurged and bought an open top Simple Human can. It's sleek and has a cool design. I did start off with the foot pedal kind but found that crud got into the hinges, so I recommend the open top kind.

The one that magically opens when you wave your hand was worth the up charge to me.

I have the Simplehuman trash can and it's great. I bought mine at Bed,Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon and no ridiculous shipping charge as they were showing on air the other night. I think it's the best trash can I've ever had.

I would consider paying that or more for something I really thought added to my kitchen decor and concealed the trash well.

There are some at the Amish stores in our area, made from the wood and stain of your choice, that look like free standing cabinets, and the door tips out and holds a plastic can. Love those, but don't have room for them in my small kitchen.

Something like these, will run up to $175 in our area, depending on size and where you get it.

I have an OXO that was probably upwards of $75. Much better than some cheap plastic thing.

@Sooner

Around 8 yrs ago I bought the Simple Human stainless steel trash can (smaller size) from Bed/Bath. I have the semi-round with the foot pedal - as it leans against the side of my kitchen island.
There are several sizes on-line --- and the prices are not high. Use a 20% off coupon - and it's a great value. I bought a box of Kirkland 10 gallon liners - inexpensive - and there are 4 rolls. Lasts forever.

I use it every day - and it needs to look nice!!!!!

Those wooden cabinets that hold trash are beautiful . However I don't have room for something like that to have out in my kitchen. Instead we have it under the sink and it rolls out....it's pretty spacious too and I like that it's out of sight.

Mine is under a cabinet but I would buy a custom made cabinet in a minute if I needed to hide a can. They look great.

Don't know what the buyers "think", and don't really care. Products that don't sell will be gone very quickly.

Don't like a product? Think a product is too expensive? Don't buy it. Simple solution.

I'm sorry you are having a bad morning. I was just making a comment -- aren't what these forums are for??? If a person wants or doesn't want to buy something, obviously that is up to them.

Sorry but I surely would never want a visible trash can sitting in the middle of my kitchen!! I'm very much a minimalist in my home, everything is hidden. My kitchen trash is in a botton drawer cabinet hidden.
