Customer Reviews

Great small trash can
I bought this to go next to the litter box in my apartment, and it has made it much easier to keep up with cleaning that area. The lid keeps odors from escaping very far and the can itself is the perfect size for reusing plastic grocery bags as trash bags. I could imagine using this for other areas of the house as well, particularly the bathroom. It might be a little too small for an office depending on how high-traffic the room is. For my purposes, it has performed very well for over a year and has exceeded my expectations. I recommend it to anyone looking for a small, attractive waste can.

Excellent for a bathroom or desk-side trash can!
I had ordered a different Umbra model and as super happy with it. This Mezzo with lid is a great deal!

In my search to furnish my new home with some of the basics that I was missing, I went on a trash can search. These Umba Mezzo's are eco-friendly (enhancing my green karma) as well as inexpensive.

They certainly seem to hold up pretty well and certainly don't feel "cheap". I'll be back for more of this one.

Satisfyingly Trashy
The boyfriend is moving in, his one request was that we get a covered bathroom trashcan since the sink has no cupboard underneath it and he doesn't want to look at the dirty Q-tips, etc. We didn't want a brushed nickel trashcan -- hello, rust! it's a bathroom! -- and that was all Target had available. Also, we didn't want to have to step on a pedal every time we had to throw away said icky Q-tip. I found this trashcan and promptly ordered it.

It's a good size for the bathroom, and not top heavy like some other models. It's not the thickest plastic in the world, but it's for trash, people. As another review said, plastic shopping bags can be re-purposed as trash bags, which is convenient.

All in all, very satisfied with the purchase. It classes up the bathroom.
