What about the smell since it does not have a lid?

I have installed this can in several locations i.e. office kitchen, office building bathrooms and have never noticed any smell. But if it were to be used for everyday kitchen use, perhaps one with a lid would be better. Nice clean look.

If I know something will eventually smell real bad, I take it outside or if trash is nearly full I will toss it out as soon as I can to avoid the smell. This is the 2nd trash can I bought like this.... I would buy it again. Easy to keep clean!!

We just use it for paper and plastic recycling so we don't really notice any bad odors

I have used this trash can for over a year in my kitchen where I cook every day and dispose all the food ítems and regular trash with no a major odor or rotten smell. However, with meat and poultry bags, I rinse them in water before putting them in the trash can. I personally think the only inconvinient might be finding the resistant and more affordable trash bags for it, beside the Simple Human brand. Other than that, I really like this particular product. No lid is needed, in my opinion.

I would not recommend this can for food waste because therre is no lid. This works well for paper waste or anything sealed like soda bottles, sealed containers of food that have never been opened.

This is the BEST trash can, ever. No smells and we've had it for about 3 months now. We love it and even get compliments on it!

I have had this can as my kitchen trash can for probably 10 years. Like others have said, if it's something really stinky (i.e. cantaloupe rinds, rotten tomatoes, etc.) I just take out the bag, anyway. Even a can with lid won't keep those odors contained, though. I've never noticed more smell from this than when I had the plastic cans with the lids. The other option for this can is that you could (if you were so inclined) use a Stick-Up or other air freshener on the underside of the curved lid.

i never have a smell unless it is something that is going t smell anyway. example empty fish or chicken container. but we take those out right away or wrap them up in plastic grocery bags if i can't get it out soon. i still love mine and it is easy to clean off.

Mine didn't smell, but you could try a little bleach and fill with water. Then, dry it out and leave the lid off of it.

I have not noticed any Oder while warming. But if course it smells yummy when I remove the lid.

There was very little to no smell when I unpacked it. I left it open and let it air out for a day (about 8 hours) before using it. No problems since I bought it 8 months ago.

No off gassing that I noticed. But if its exposed to heat (sunlight) it could smell.

It didn't smell at all. I forget what it is made of but if you google the brand it will explain and show you what's inside. I am so happy with it!

Not at all. It smells like plastic when you first open it but no smell. I keep mine outside on the porch patio

It doesn't have a smell at all really in my opinion(and I can have a sensitivity to smells, chemicals, etc). I've had mine for about a year now, but I think when I first opened it there was a vague plastic smell, but nothing overwhelming. When you are using it, I don't notice a smell.

Ours does not nor ever had any smell. We are vey happy with it, except for the poor magnet which came with it to hold the door shut. It was not sufficient. We needed to install two more magnets.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

Haven't noticed any odors as long as the lid is closed. Very happy with the one I have; we do empty our trash every day.

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.

No, it is a bin only. An expensive bin lol. The lids are just as expensive. But from my experience, a lid isn't necessary. My bin is located in a built in pull out drawer under the counter and there is zero smell.

It does have a smell and I would not use it indoors-unless you like to clean :) it seems like it left more little specs of string than others cans might have.
