I have been a homeowner for almost 3 years! When we first moved in, I bought whatever I could afford at the time. I was and still am on a budget! It’s tough being a full time single mom raising my teen with Autism all on my own. Whenever I can, I try to upgrade the things we use on a daily basis. Recently, I upgraded my garbage bin and it changed everything!
A few months ago, I decided to get us comforters for our beds. Before, we were using blankets! I decided to splurge and get luxury comforters for us! Our comforters are from Kohls. I chose the plush comforters where it features one side that is super soft! I am really happy with my choice! The comforters are so soft and cuddly! The only thing I would change is that I would get the King size comforter for my Queen mattress. Other than that, it’s not a big deal, I am still happy with the comforters!
As for our new garbage bin, I am so glad I made the purchase! It is quite the upgrade and the price was affordable compared to other retailers!
I first saw it on sale earlier this month because it was on sale. I tried finding it in stores but they only had one in stock. I told myself “I saved $65!” But I kept thinking about the garbage bin at Costco!
I also tried finding garbage bins just like it at other retailers with no luck. Either they were more expensive, smaller in size, or just not what I was looking for!
Finally, last week, I decided to get it! My cousin has a Costco membership, so I asked if they could order it for me and have it sent to me. I sent her the money and she ordered it! The garbage bin arrived within a few days (it was actually delivered a day earlier than expected)!
As soon as my new garbage bin arrived, I couldn’t wait to open it! Based on the reviews, I was worried about dings! A few of the reviews said their garbage bin had dings upon arrival!
As soon as I opened the package, I checked for any dings or imperfections! I am so thrilled that it arrived perfectly!
The garbage bin is much bigger than our former cheap plastic trash can we were using. I didn’t have the heart to throw away my old trash can, so I have it in my garage.
The Kohler Garbage Bin features:
Fingerprint Resistant Finish
Slow-close Lid
Lid can be Locked in Open Position
Removable Liner for Easy Cleaning
Fits Standard 13 Gallon Trash Liners
This is seriously the best garbage bin ever! I am so excited about my purchase! I am so impressed with it! My lid was creaking a bit as it closed, so I decided to name it Fester for Uncle Fester from The Addams Family! The creaking sounds reminds me of the creaking sound a coffin would make as it’s opening or closing!
I may have splurged on the garbage bin, but I also feel like I get the most use out of each trash bag! I have a bigger trash can, thus, I can easily stuff my garbage bags! All in all, it means less trips to the dumpster!
I love that it is fingerprint resistant. That is my biggest pet peeve with metal garbage cans.
I like the ability to lock the lid in the up position .
love a slow close lid
I love the put the foot on the pedal and the can lid opens. Lock in open position a great plus.
This reminds me of the triple bin I had to leave behind when I moved. *sobs*
Bins are SO underrated, a bad one can really smell up the kitchen. I love this one.
like the lid
I have never thought to upgrade my garbage bin, but this may have convinced me! I definitely do not get the most use out of each bag.
We have a similar one. I really like you don’t have to touch anything.
