    Broke after 4 years 🙁
    Bought this awesome Krusher Stainless Steel Manual Trash Compactor Garbage Can in April 2020. It immediately became my favorite but unfortunately lasted only about 4 years as part of the hinge attached to the lid broke off. I did keep the handle😁 because it comes in handy with the replacement. While I found a quick replacement for now, I do hope to find something very similar with perhaps a stronger lid and stronger magnets to hold the manual compactor lid-handle in place.

      This makes motorized compactors look really dumb. If you've ever owned an electric motorized trash compactor, you might know what I'm talking about. I've never found them to be worth much because they're so expensive, need special bags, and I've had bad luck with them breaking. They also don't work like regular trash cans. Not the case with this!

      I was really surprised at how much you can compact trash just by hand. Maybe not as much as a motorized one, but VERY close and for a lot less money. This trash can is very well-designed without being too gimmicky. There's another one I saw that looked good, but you needed to buy special bags and this was available at a better price (open box). There's smart touches like high-density foam underneath the handle on the top, where your knuckles might otherwise get bruised. It's very well thought-through. It's also just a well-designed step can, crushing aside. I was afraid the lid might be too heavy, but everything works great. It's also very nice-looking, as trash cans go. I think it's a great value; it's as nice as fancy stainless trash cans people regularly pay $100 that are JUST step cans. It looks and feels like a quality step can, so you can use it just like you would any other durable step can this size.

      You can definitely just use regular kitchen trash bags with this. It might be a good idea to get bags that are a little heavier weight (pushing the trash around is going to stress the bag more), but I haven't had much trouble with using good quality drawstring bags (nothing special).

      I bought this open-box/returned, and it was dented in the front (I knew this when buying it). With that being said, it must've gone through something crazy because I wouldn't say it's easy to dent, at all. All of the materials are heavy gauge; it's sturdier than I was expecting it to be, even if I had paid full price. I've had it for a month or two and it feels like the kind of thing that's not going to break easily.

      My only complaint is that the inner can that holds the trash bag in place is a bit flimsy. That was damaged in my open-box unit as well, and unlike the dent in the front, I could definitely see why that happened. The plastic on these parts is a bit too thin and whoever had it before me had broken it. It still works to hold the bag, though, so that's a bit impressive, in a way. It's the only part of it I think would be likely to break under normal circumstances, and if it does it still works just fine!

      All in all, this is great. It's really surprising how much room you can save just by manually compacting the trash, and it's a really good trash can, those qualities aside.

      Looks very nice along with other stainless steel appliances. Would have rather have had an automatic trash compactor but $600 or more was a little pricey. This works quite well. Can get twice the trash in one bag. Fits well under the end of our counter. Compact and yet holds quite a bit. Wouldn’t recommend for an elderly person as it does take a little strength to push trash down. Ok my first review was in January of this year and it’s now a year since our purchase. Still quite happy! This trash can works almost as well as a compactor. It’s held up greatly and the magnetic part of the lid still works. Still highly recommend this product.😊

      The Household Essentials Trash Krusher is a fantastic solution for reducing trash volume without needing an electric compactor. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and has significantly cut down the number of trash bags we go through.

      The manual compaction feature works really well — the Krusher plate is strong and effective at packing down the trash, making it super convenient. The overall design is sleek and fits nicely in the kitchen without taking up too much space.

      The only issue I’ve had is with the lid. It’s on the heavier side, and when closing it, the weight tends to make it drop into the trash more often than I’d like. It’s a minor annoyance but something to be aware of.

      Overall, it’s still a great product that does its job well. If the lid design were a bit lighter or had a slower-close mechanism, it’d be perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reduce waste and save on trash bags!

      We have limited space in our trash barrels, this compactor has helped us fit all the trash into the barrels on trash day. First I bought one for the house, and liked it so much I bought two more for my office. I definitely recommend this if you need to reduce trash volume and are looking for an easy solution and a product that is simple to use

      I thought this was going to be a great trashcan. It would keep the dogs out and we could “compact” the trash to get more in there. Sadly, it is complete garbage. We barely had it 9 months when the foot pedal started to stick and wouldn’t work smoothly. Then, the soft close feature stopped working. Now, here are just a little over a year in to owning it and I’m ready to go buy a new one. The compactor lid won’t stay attached anymore because the soft close feature no longer works.
      I reached out to their customer service at least 2 months ago and still haven’t heard back.

      When we first received this we thought it was an electric appliance but just very compact. Turned out to be a "manual" compactor which at first seemed like a let down but for the price, and the time now used, it actually is not only very economical .... but very practical! You can put it anywhere without worrying about an electrical outlet and it cosmetically is upscale and fits with any decor. It doesn't take much muscle at all to push the top handle down to compact the trash. I now think, "WOW! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF DESIGNING SOMETHING LIKE THIS!" I now think it's probably the best investment ever for less than $200. The foot pedal makes tossing trash into the container very easy and it allows you to put at least twice the trash amount into a 13 gallon bag. Simple to use and simple to empty and replace the trash bag. Totally worth the $$$. Great!!
