Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Umbra Eco-Friendly 2.5-Gallon Sway Can, Black Recycled
Customer Review: Sleek looking little trash can
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this trash can because I wanted something that didn't take up a lot of space, had a cover/swing top, and was cheap. This fits all three criteria; it looks sleek & does the job. The plastic is kind of flimsy and the top is easily knocked off because of it, so minus one star. Otherwise, a great little trash can. Hey - it's biodegradable! Recommended if you don't have pets - if you do have pets, you might want to get a metal trash can instead.Customer Review: Not as good as I was hoping for.
Summary: 2 Stars
Received the trash can about a week or so after the order was placed. When I opened it, there was no lid so I had to return it and wait for a replacement. When I received that one, both pieces were there, but the color wasn't as described. Since I was using it for kitty litter room, I wasn't too worried about it. After washing it and putting a liner in it, I started using it. The lid will not stay on. Every time I try to throw the litter in it, the lid either tilts off or falls off completely. I've tried putting two bags in the can to make the lid tighter, which seemed to help a little, but the lid still tilts off. Which, of course, makes a mess when I try to put the litter in it. I'll use this until I can find something better that is affordable. Customer Review: Pretty but not very functional
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted a cat-resistant wastebasket that was attractive enough to keep in my living room. This looks great, and it's kept my kittens off so far because every time they touch it, it falls over and the lid pops off, startling them so that they run away. This indirectly deterrent effect can't last much longer, unfortunately.
As others have mentioned, the can is lightweight and top-heavy, and the lid is held on only by gravity. So if the can tips, everything ends up spilling out. If you live in a pet-free household where gravity is especially strong, this may be the trash can for you. Otherwise, I recommend that you seek something sturdier.
Customer Review: What a waste!
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is made from flimsy plastic and the lid will NEVER fit properly -- it's constantly falling off. In fact, the wastebasket is top-heavy and falls over easily, spilling its contents all over the floor. Can I return this useless item? Or get my money back?Customer Review: Poor packaging
Summary: 2 Stars
Amazon packed this in a flimsy box, and while shipping the trash-bin was squeezed into oval shape while the the "top" remained round and so won't fit. Otherwise, it looks nice.
