The matte finish actually looks nice in my bedroom instead of the usual shiny plastic eyesore. Six gallons is bigger than I expected, so I'm not emptying it every other day.
Bought the 2-pack for my bathroom and kitchen, and the 6-gallon size is just right—big enough that I'm not emptying it daily but slim enough to tuck beside the toilet. The matte finish wipes clean easily, which I appreciate since my old glossy can showed every water spot.
The matte finish on these really sells the look — they sit in my bathroom and hallway without screaming “trash bin,” which is more than I can say for my old ones. The 6-gallon size is perfect for daily use, and having two means I never have to shuffle one between rooms.
