Dowell Double 50Qt Undermount Trash Pull-Out - Smooth Soft-Close

Our review of the Dowell Double 50Qt Undermount Trash Pull-Out finds it best suited for homeowners who want a durable, space-saving waste solution for a narrow cabinet opening. The single biggest reason to buy is its reliable soft-close, full-extension undermount slide, which makes access smooth and reduces door slamming while hiding two 50 quart cans neatly under the counter. Installation is straightforward thanks to a removable, self-aligning bottom plate and simple hardware, so a quick upgrade to a tidier, more functional kitchen is possible without professional help.

Key Features

• Dual 50 quart capacity: Includes two generous 50 qt cans for separating trash and recycling without frequent emptying.
• Soft-close full extension slide: The undermount slide provides smooth, full access to both cans and prevents slamming for a quieter kitchen.
• Compact footprint: Designed for cabinet openings from 15.5 to 18 in wide and a minimum height of 25 in, it fits narrow spaces where many other units will not.
• Quick installation: The removable, self-aligning bottom plate and six-screw mounting method let a competent DIYer install it in minutes.
• Adjustable door brackets: Included door mounting brackets make aligning the cabinet face straightforward for both face frame and frameless cabinets.
• Optional lids available: Lids can be added to the 35 or 50 qt models for odor control and a neater look.

Who It's For

This pull-out is ideal for homeowners renovating kitchens with limited under-sink space who need a compact yet capacious waste solution; the two 50 qt cans accommodate household trash and recycling with minimal trips to the curb. It also suits DIY installers who want a unit that mounts from the bottom and self-aligns for a fast, accurate fit.

People who need larger single containers, custom cabinet builds wider than 18 in, or an integrated countertop step-open system should look elsewhere; this model is purpose-built for narrow openings and manual door-mounted operation rather than automated lids or very large capacity needs.
