I'm genuinely confused. It's a steel box with a sack in it.

So much engineering gone into a trash can, wow.

[Razi]

Hey! I have a trashcan made by them, but of course it was much much much cheaper.

I really dont know what to say besides you havent scrolled all the way down yet....

Why is it priced that high? There are plenty of suckers who will overpay for something advertised as the best.

I guess trash cans can now be added with sneakers as products that I refuse to buy if they cost more than a car I've purchased.

I knew that it had to be a simple human trash can before I ever opened the thread. It's insane. We have one by them am curved brown one bought for $56. They were marketing their own trash bags that fit perfectly at $10 for 20 trashbags! Turns out they aren't any different then my glad 13 gal

Iit is self emptying?

If someone bought that trash can they mine as well buy a cheaper one then throw money inside of it.

It is a good looking can though it would look good by the BBQ pit and serve its purpose for a life time..

We just bought a new one the other night and I saw those in Target. I laughed when I saw that they went up to $200 for a Stainless Steel Trash Can. I walked right past it and grabbed the $35 one next to it.

Cant blame you. Its very hard to justify a purchase of something that expensive when there are things that do the same thing for 70% less.

but it's finger print-proof and has a toe-kick.

It is if you include the housekeeper.

For an affluent fastidious serial killer this product is a boon! Think about the subtle yet formidable win in this trash can. So there you are standing on the plastic you laid down to protect your imported Italian terrazzo tile from the copious blood spilled when you chopped off the head of that hooker you brought home with that new ceramic santoku knife you picked up from sharper image, what, you just toss the head in a plastic garbage can, seriously?

Of course not. That would be uncivilized. Being the discerning psychopath that you are you have put as much thought into your disposal system as in your choice of victim. We know, she looked like your mom, and your mom used you make you wear dresses and makeup because she wanted a little girl and this drug addict streetwalker reminded you of her so of course no logical person would begrudge you the desire to cut her up into pieces while listening to Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart

Let's see all the great reasons you dropped almost two bills on this great trash can!

patented toe kick: Patented toe kick provides easy access to the pedal and helps protect the can.

If you find yourself burdened with two severed heads, a,, double header as it were, you can open the can with your foot.

silent close lid: Our patented lid shox® technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close.

Nobody will hear you opening the can to drop a severed head in it and become curious, no pesky witnesses.

strong, all-steel pedal: Our strong, all-steel pedal is engineered to last over 150,000 steps ? that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.

You can dispose of your severed heads in ad infinitum

fingerprint-proof: Fingerprint-proof finish resists smudges to keep stainless steel shiny.

Don't you watch CSI? Suck on that Grissom, dust away b**** because this can don't show prints!

hide excess bag: Bag tuck® opening tucks away excess bag so it stays neatly out of sight.

If you have company over you won't be embarrassed by unsightly excess bag peekage and your social status will be maintained. Trash bag hanging out, what are we, cavemen?

Because it won't judge you when you choose not to recycle.

You should read the reviews.

It amazes me that AT LEAST 88 people bought these trash cans!!!

Dear Idiots,
If you have nothing better to do with your money than throw it in the trash, please send it to me. We've got obscure Datsun parts to buy. Thanks!

[OriginalWheelman]

What amazes me is the USED one for sale. There are a lot of stuff I'd buy used, but a trash can isn't one of them.

[carloslebaron]

Look at it this way, if someone steals the trash can, the advantage is that no finger prints will be found in it...I mean...what I try to say is...well...dumb trash can!...
