Product review (1 stars): Poor overall design
Bought this at Target. I have been looking for a smaller trash can for a while, since I waste half of the space in the larger 13 gallon ones (they start to stink long before I can fill them), and the lid on the larger one was broken and would no longer stay shut. I've had it for about 6 years when it broke, so I figure that's a decent length for the money I paid for it. I absolutely need a latching can, since I have a cat that thinks the trash can is a snack bar. I finally found this, and at first I was happy: It was not too small nor large, and it was a decent price. Sadly, I have only had this about two weeks before the cheap plastic latch started to fail. Now I am in the same boat, having to put a gallon jug of water on the lid to keep it shut so the cat doesn't get in. Also, 8 gallon trash bags are ridiculously hard to find. And the round front and square back of this one means the ones I did find don't fit well. Overall, this is a very poorly designed and cheaply made trash can. A complete waste of ten bucks.
