Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have an admission. I am a well educated frugal consumer but I bought a really, really expensive garbage can and I love it!! Probably one of the best kitchen purchases I have ever made! I live in a family of five people. Our town has single can recycling (everything in one big bucket). Over the years we just got used to having a step trash can and then leaving the recycling on the counter. That eventually devolved into having a bag sit on top of the trash can with various amounts of recycling in it. It was ugly and painful. Over the years I looked at various Simplehuman recycling solutions. I came close to purchasing on several occasions but I just could't do it. How could any trash can be worth the money?!! And the liners, oh the liners. How could I possibly put myself into a situation to buy expensive liners from the expensive trash can company. I mean really! Well, then it happened. I finally got pissed off at the recycling sitting on top of the trash and the dog taking it around the house. I also hated having to move the bag to actually throw out trash. Then I found this trash can. In the past, I was always worried there wasn't enough trash or recycling room under the lid. This can had the largest recycling bin and trash bin I could find. I pulled the trigger. Tears dripped down my cheeks as I paid $200 for a recycling can. What the hell, I could always return it. I don't HAVE to use their liners, I could just tie a regular old 13 gallon liner on the trash side. Let's see... The can came. I pulled it out of the box and put the sample set of H size liners in the convenient pocket on the back of the trash side. All of a sudden, no more clutter and enough room for trash!! The skies opened and the Angels sang. And I have to tell you, it's worth every penny!!! The can looks nice and performs well. The recycling bucket comes right out and I can walk it to the garage to throw it in our town bin for collection. The size bags slide right out, tie up and go to the regular trash can. Before I leave with the full bag I just pull a new liner through the nice slot and put it right where it belongs. Genius. Oh - and about the liners. They work. They work really, really well and are so convenient in the pocket on the trash can that I spent the money to get a whole lot of them (better price that way - I am after all still a frugal guy). Once you get your can, register the warranty on the simplehuman site. They will send you a coupon for dollars off an order at their site ($5.00 if I remember correctly). Go to the simplehuman site and you can order 240 liners (a size I was unable to find anywhere else) with free shipping. Use your coupon and buy them. You only live once, don't stare at trash or loose recycling! Just do it. You wont be sorry.
