Features of KOHLER 20940-ST Best Kitchen Step Trash Can with Foot Pedal

The product comes with a step-on opening mechanism. It has a quiet close feature as well. It has a brushed finishing which gives it that classic look. It usually comes in the classic stainless-steel color. However, you can also purchase the white or the black one as well. I love how the white one looks though. This is surprising considering how I usually go for black trash bins. The stainless-steel has a plastic liner which can be removed. It also has a stay-open lid which makes the trash bags very easy to change, as well as clean. The product is also finger-print proof and also totally hands free. Its rectangular in shape and the build quality is outstanding. And because of this, you can fit it almost anywhere in your kitchen or any other room you prefer to put it.

♦ Sleek Design

This trash bin comes in multiple sizes, but all things considered the best one is the 13-gallon one. The product dimensions are 16.81 x 13 x 26.44 inches and it weighs close to 19 pounds. You can pretty much place and fit it anywhere. Be it next to the wall or the cabinet or even next to an appliance.

♦ Quiet Close Feature

The quiet close feature is one of the features I look for in a trash bin. This stainless-steel trash bin also has a lid made of the same material. Truth be told, nobody wants the lid of their trash bin to fall and make a huge slamming noise. It’s annoying, and frankly a little gross. But with this product, you can release the foot pedal after you’ve done your business and the lid will close up by itself quietly and gently.

♦ Brushed Finishing

Now this is one of my favorite features for this product. The brushed finishing gives it a modern look that just looks right in your home. I, personally, like the white color more. However, the stainless-steel is also very attractive. And the best feature is, it’s fingerprint-proof so it won’t get any scratch or scuff marks under normal circumstances.

♦ The convenience Factor

Facing difficulty while cleaning out your trash bin can be frustrating, to say the least. The stay open lid comes in very handy while you are removing the old trash bag and cleaning out the insides of the bin. And because its so easy to clean and maintain, you will have a newer looking trash bin in your house for a longer period of time.

√ Pros

Considering the kinds of trash bins that are available in the market, this might not be absolutely state of the art. However, Kohler has done a great job in ensuring quality with the features they have presented. The sleek design and the options of colors help with the aesthetics. The quiet closing feature can be viewed as common now-a-days but it really does make a big difference. The convenience factor is also there whether you are replacing an old trash bag or just cleaning out your trash bin. Apart from all that, its also built well and durable which makes it worth the price it’s set at.

Χ Cons

We have noticed an issue with the packaging where it gets crumpled during the delivery stage. The company however, has taken steps to amend this issue by padding it with firm styrofoam. As a result, there’s usually no damage to the product itself. That being said, we think this is something that can be improved.

Conclusion

I would recommend our readers to definitely give this product a chance. Given the quality Kohler has put into this product, this is surely worth the price. If you’re looking for something simple, yet elegant, durable and convenient, this is the way to go.
