Review on MDesign Aura Collection 1.5 Gallon Plastic Trash Can, 2 Pack, Perfect For Small Spaces In Bathroom, Laundry, Or Home Office, Black Garbage Bin With Handles And Recycling Capability by Jaime White

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost 5 stars - Packing warps both cans

They are a great value and fit side by side in a truck camper cabinet under a sink. I haven't had a chance to figure out what size liner would work best but I might try a 3 or 4 gallon liner. Now we have one can for trash and another for recyclables. They are pretty small, but then so are the spaces available in a truck camper, so it works for us.I had seen the complaints before about how the cans are not of a nesting design and how, when packed into eachother for economical shipping, one can gets distorted. In our case, both cans ended up having a warp on one side from being pushed into eachother for shipping. I kind of expected it, but decided to purchase then anyway - Ebay is so good about returns! At any rate, it doesn't seem to be a big enough deal to return as they will be behind a cabinet door at all times. I imagine that you could try and pay the single item price and then order at 2 different times to try and get a couple without warpage, but they are likely packed like that in their original bulk shipping box, so you might end up getting 2 warped units anyway.I considered filling each with hot water to see if that could help bow them back out and then maybe stay that way after the water cooled, but decided that they didn't look that bad - maybe if it still bugs me later.There was none of the scratching or damage that I had seen in other posts. Ours arrived in pristine condition (except for the warpage). I would buy more of them. They are pretty small. Like if someone put a half gallon milk container in one, it would be time to empty - haha!

Pros
  • It's the perfect size for any personal workspaces at home that are designed to inspire focus
Cons
  • The product is not eco-friendly and has a significant carbon footprint
