| realistone's Full Review: Brabantia Stainless Steel Trash Can (50-liter) |
Brabantia, a Belgan company, produces the highest quality garbage cans on the market. The mass-market kitchen and bath stores are riddled with imitations of their products but nothing exceeds the originals. The touch lid keeps odors in the can and opens easily and wide enough to accomidate dust pans. Brabantia also gives their stainless a coating to make it fingerprint resistant, and anything spills on the outside of the can have wiped off easily. This size takes 13 gallon bags, but they make plenty of other sizes of cans if you have other needs. The lid has been durable in my experience, but for the absolute highest level of durability their pedal activated lids are the best out there. You can use standard 13 gallon bags, or you can get their hard to find bags. The only advantage of their bags is the small, reinforced holes near the top which lets the bag go in easier (a vacuum isn't created on the bottom which makes the bag more difficult to push down.) The bin I have is a bright stainless steel, but they are also available in matt black and matt stainless steel.
The only real downside is the price. Made of stainless, which is more expensive than ever, this bin in made in Europe with its much higher labor costs. (a few of their other products are made in China and are thus a little cheaper.) It is also not as widely available as the Brabantia imitation products are.
