Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Normally I am not one to leave a negative review as I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Unfortunately I felt the need to share my dissatisfaction with this purchase. For the hefty price tag I had expected so much more. My primary reason for purchasing was because we wanted something to contain the odor from our dog’s waste. We live in the Midwest and as our weather fluctuates, it’s not ideal to place this outside as a full time receptacle so we keep it in our garage. This was a mistake. While the instructions do clearly state to place it in a highly ventilated area, I had to believe that this extremely expensive garbage can had to do more than simply hold waste and that the filter would help eliminate some odor, right? Nope. Not at all. It is simply a garbage can that holds waste bags and clips to close. The “filter” attaches to the top of the interior lid via a weak magnet so each time you close the lid which is weighted down with the waste bag holder, the magnet gives way and the filter falls into your waste. Nice. I suppose if you did place this receptacle outside all the time, the odor would not bother you, well because it’s outside. So I ask myself what’s the difference between buying this and a rubbermade garbage can with a locking lid? About $140. This is just simply not worth the money in any manner. $20? I’d say yes, but anything over that is far too expensive.
