Review on Umbra Swinger 12-Gallon Swing-Top Waste Can in Sleek Black - Ideal for 11-20 Gallon Capacity by Connie Love

We bought this paper basket in 2012, it is functional and well made. So we decided to buy it again when we needed a second can to recycle. BIG MISTAKE. The "new" version pales in comparison. The lid is unweighted (and doesn't even have screw anchors to add weight). The top is thin, rubs on one side, opens and stays there. POOH. Someone decided to save money and remove the features that made this trash can really useful. SIGH. I hope the few dollars saved will outweigh the gain. Also, there are now no rubber grips on the sides. Just plastic. Distracts from the bigger picture and doesn't make much sense. My engineer's other half was able to weight down the top to keep it in place, but we are very disappointed with the way this bin is made. Umbra, I expected so much more from you. As a rule, your products are a class better. Not this time. Now I don't want to buy anything from Umbra. It looks like you're cutting corners like everyone else. Too bad. If you want to buy a good flip top trash can, don't buy this one. Keep searching.
