I just bought it, does anyone know how to put it together? (assemble it) Don't know what to do with the "straw" part.

Push the straw up and firmly attach it to the hole in the center at the bottom of the cannister cover.Hope this helps.

It goes in the bottom of the orange part that screws on top of the jar. I'll see if I can take a pic and post to the product page

Straw attaches to the bottom of the cover (in the hole in the center) and extends down into the cannister to extract soap/water mixture. Have fun....the results speak for themselves.

Here is a you tube video I found. I hope this helps you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5FQ8RmTyCs

Hmm are you asking because you have purchased the item and need to know how to put it together? Or because you are wondering if it hard to put together. I don't remember if it came with instructions I bought it so long ago. But I can take a picture of the assembly and pieces tomorrow if you are interested. I'm pretty sure there has been a product update, not sure if that affects it.

Yeah, the lid is supposed to be assembled separately. Peel it from the main box and continue assembly.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

Try googling the instructions. Very simple to put together. You tube probably has a video.

You have to put it together yourself. Its not too complicated. I call my son and he comes to put all of my purchases together. Its a nice piece. Happy with it.

Try pushing the straw in deeper. It happens to me when I take it apart to wash and don't put it back together properly. Hope it helps

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Okay, so we also had trouble but the second time of putting it together I learned some things. First, I learned that taping the poles together made a huge difference. I put the frame work (the top) together, tape the poles (clear packing tape or white duct tape) to the corner pieces, and THEN added the cloth covering. After each corner had the cover down we then (takes at least 2 people) started adding the long leg poles to each corner. It worked out so much better, and was easier, and everything fit! Good luck!

Hi Robert, This was a gift for my daughter, but she hand washes it. She said she does not not take it all apart, afraid she would not get it put back together properly--she takes the straw apart and swishes everything in hot soapy water.Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You have to remove the orange cap. It will work great then. Remove orange cap then put together. It comes off pretty hard, but it must be removed to work. Hope this helps.

I wish I could help, but mine came completely assembled. It's still a great trash can and I highly recommend it.

I had the same problem putting it together for my Dad at his independent living home. I found a man who was able to whack it in place. Sorry, not too much help.

It's been a while since we put it together. But if I recall correctly it doesn't work right away. You have to let it sit for a day or so. I know the proper way to do it is in the instructions. Just lemme know if you need any more help.

Hello. I hate assembling things I buy. This was remarkably easy. There are instructions in a manual, but all that is required is attaching the handle and a few other small items at the side. Good luck,Dana
