Not a great product, but cheap.

I am not satisfied with this product. The entire top part comes off very easily and doesn't snap. And the swing lid won't level when you put dirt in it. It opens and stays open. Next time I'll spend more for a more durable product.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Wastepaper Bin Disappointment

I was excited about this wastepaper basket but I was very disappointed. The lid is terrible. It turns completely over and is usually twisted so that the underside is facing up. When you add garbage the rocker arm doesn't move because it needs so much room to move in the tank. This is a trash can and it still holds trash, but using this bucket makes me wish I'd bought something else.

Pros
  • Looks great
Cons

Can't fill up because of swing lid

Boy I don't like this thing - the swing lid doesn't work at all when you're trying to fill the dumpster because there has to be room for the stupid swing lid so I take out garbage bags , which are only half full - and yes, the clip lock always stays in the open position unless I manually close the 3/18/21 update. I ordered a regular bin and yes they are way overpriced these days - but that's the price to pay to have a decent bin. This jar is definitely coming back because it's useless.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons

My own fault for not reading the other reviews!

Wow I'm so disappointed in this bin! I have four other Umbra iron-on lenses and I really like them, but thought I'd get a slimmer model for the kitchen. Too bad I didn't read the reviews because I didn't waste my money! The lid is a piece of junk for all the reasons others have mentioned. Not worth paying more money to return, miso, I think I'll find a place to use it where I don't have to struggle with the lid on a daily basis. Umbra should be ashamed to put their name on this product.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Matching

Good quality but a bit expensive

Well I really like this bin. In fact, I received it specifically for recycling. I felt it was a bit overpriced but it was more convenient to book so the convenience paid for itself quite a bit. Not only did I lose a star because of that, but also because it was dirty when I opened it. I don't know how dirty it was already. It doesn't look like it was returned used and dirty, just stored in a dirty warehouse which they obviously need to pay more attention to or something. I have something of an…

A good swing can also have its price!

I don't like that the lid doesn't turn when the van is more than 3/4 full due to the shape and low scoop, but that's a common drawback of the tilting lid jug . If you're ok with that, this is a great jar for you. I bought this for the basement where my teens and husband play in the hope that when the van gets within 5ft of their bodies they will clean up behind them. However, this was an unrealistic expectation on my part. The funny thing, if you ask my youngest, is that it comes in a huge box…

Pros
  • Sleek and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Umbra Swinger fails.

I purchased a 12 gallon Umbra Swinger trash can for our new home. The bin arrived quickly and in perfect condition (thanks Revain!), but it has two major design flaws: First, I put a 13-gallon tall kitchen garbage bag inside the tank, which fits snugly. When I put the lid back on the jar, the lid pierced the pouch on both sides where it snapped onto the base. It's not a big deal, but it does loosen up the bag when you take it off. The second disadvantage is that the lid of the can sinks into…

  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear

Takes a lot, looks stylish

We bought this to frustrate our dog who loves to steal from junk and it works great. The nickel paint is forgiving of the occasional drip and drip, and for the price the tin opens and closes smoothly. You'll have to stretch the top of a standard "bridal kitchen" bag a bit to fit around the oval top, but that's not a problem for us. The fact that the lid of the container is above the waste line means you can fill the bag without fear. The upper is a bit more plump than I expected - it's really a

Pros
  • Sturdy construction

  • No gun

Very disappointed Good fit for paper baskets

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…

  • Good build quality
