13.2 Gal Kitchen Trash Can 50L Recycling Bin - Quiet Soft-Close

In this review of the 13.2 Gal Kitchen Trash Can the bottom line is simple: this brushed stainless steel step-on bin is best for households that want a sturdy, easy-to-clean waste solution with a quiet lid. It suits small to medium kitchens, offices or living rooms where a neat appearance and reliable operation matter. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a soft-close lid and a removable inner bucket, which makes daily use quieter and disposal far less fiddly than many plastic-only cans.

Key Features

• Brushed 410 stainless steel: The wire-drawn finish resists fingerprints and makes the exterior easy to wipe clean for a consistently tidy look.
• Detachable inner bucket: The ABS inner pail lifts out quickly for garbage replacement and washing, reducing mess and simplifying bag changes.
• Soft-close lid with damper: The force damper prevents slamming so the lid closes quietly, which is useful in open-plan rooms and at night.
• Wide durable pedal: The 5.9' wide steel foot pedal gives a solid, comfortable surface so opening is effortless and long-lasting.
• Lid-lock option: The lid can be held open when needed, helping when hands are full or during cleaning tasks.
• Bag holder and handles: A bag-fixing slot and side handles on the inner bucket keep liners neat and make removal easier.

Who It's For

This trash can is ideal for homeowners or renters with compact kitchens, entryways, or offices who want a clean, modern look and quiet operation. The brushed steel finish and compact 13.2 gal capacity fit well against walls or beside counters without overwhelming the space.

People who need a very large or specialized recycling station should look elsewhere, since this model is aimed at general household waste and moderate recycling needs rather than high-volume commercial use. Buyers who prefer fully plastic bins for ultra-lightweight portability may also prefer a different style.
