I had a hard time consciously reconciling paying over $100 for a trash can when I got mine. Best investment I could have made. Adds serious functionality and class to my kitchen.

*Just don't buy their overpriced proprietary trash bags, normal 13 gallon kitchen bags fit fine

I have one in my garage that I've been treating like a dumpster because the lid broke. Just found out I can buy a replacement lid for $20. Should clean up nicely and find use back inside somewhere!

Yeah, my partner bought a bin from John Lewis here in the UK (a sort of 'higher-end' shop). This one, though at the time, I could have sworn it wasn't as crazy as £200.

Still, it's the kind of item that you literally interact with every day of your life. Compared to the kind of things you can waste your money on, a bin is pretty damn practical.

Huh, I found it for less - but maybe because I'm closer to the source.

Simplehuman bins are also recommended by myself. Not cheap but a few nice features that keep it simple and clean. Mine is 12yrs old and still working like new.

Don’t want to use their unique bags; dislike the way regular bags fall into the bin when half full.

My version allows kids to splatter filth into the lid mechanism too easily. Which begins to stick and needs to be hosed out. Generally the lip under the lid is a goo collecting area.

Although I don’t love the design, I have 2 that are just fine after ~8 years.

I have their 12gallon / 45 liter version. In the US this uses standard sized 13 gallon trash bags that you can buy from any manufacturer including store brand / generic. Agree the simple human bags are overpriced, so just buy the trash can sized for stand ones.
