Nice size & won't tip over!La Carp
For as much as anyone can really like a trash bin, I really like this trash bin. Some other reviews compalined that it was too small; I think it's the perfect size for a car. It can easily hold 4 empty beverage containers and then some. What do you want, something so large that you can't get past it? Maybe a 55 gallon drum would suit you better.And this thing will not tip over. The velcro on the bottom grabs my car's carpet firmly & will not let it slip loose. There is also a zippered weight compartment holding a bag of weight (probably sand) to give it very low ballast. You can even add more weight in the compartment if you want. Overall, this is the best car litter bag I've ever owned.
Works greatMDMAMA
Nice design, fits well behind the console in my 2013 Highlander. The sides are a bit flimsy, but all I did was cut cardboard from the box the product was delivered in into a rectangle and slid it inside the liner (there's a zipper opening for the sandbag) and it was an easy fix. It stands perfectly now without really being any heavier or bulkier. The Velcro on the bottom doesn't really stick to the carpet so we'll have to see if the sandbag will keep it from sliding around. I placed a small 4 gallon trash bag inside and used a couple of binder clips to hold the bag in place. The lid still closes easily. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
For those who travel but don't live in their carsjsh1120
Reading some of the complaints about the size of the product I'm inclined to think that many people are hoping to duplicate their 20 gallon kitchen garbage bins in their vehicles. This little wastebasket won't do that. So if you (and your family) live in your car, you may find it inadequate. On the other hand, if you simply want to avoid collecting oodles of paper, napkins, paper cups, etc. in the storage cubbies (and floor)of your vehicle, it's great. Just remember to follow your mother's instructions and "take out the trash" periodically.The basket has a zippered bottom compartment and a weight to place in the compartment to keep the product in place. If you're placing the wastebasket over a center hump as we are, you may find it worthwhile to supplement or replace the weight with a large (gallon size) plastic bag filled with sand to secure the entire basket. With that augmentation, it works quite well, neither moving nor tipping over. And if you're especially particular about the look (and possibly the odor) of stuff in the wastebasket, you'll appreciate the velcro-secured lid. Again, however, a substantial weight in the bottom compartment makes it easier to open the top without moving the entire contraption.My only complaint is that when empty the short sides of the product tend to collapse, making it a slight chore to open it. A couple of shirt cardboards cut to size and placed in the wastebasket cures that problem.
Good, could be better - but there's a fix....Raftman
This large car trash bin is great except for the problem cited by others that it so easily folds in on itself. However, there's a simple, effective fix. You can access the space between the liner and the outside via the zipper for putting the weighted sandbag in. I measured the width of the bag and duct taped two Popsicle sticks together to make a brace. I then wound duct tape sticky side out around each end of the sticks and slid it up to the top of the bag between the liner and the exterior. I squeezed the bag material firmly from the outside so the duct tape adhered well. Voila!!! - my bag now stays open all the time. An even better fix would be to saw down a paint stirring stick for a stronger brace.
Great for car trashOhio Jennifer
With a name like "XL" I expected this to be bigger when it first came. However, after having used it now for 6 months, it really holds a lot. It works perfectly in our minivan (fits right under the middle console table) and the weighted plus velcro on the bottom does a great job holding it in place. We never use the lid but it's nice to know its there in case we need it.
Nowhere near big enough for a familyBecki Robins
Despite the rather passionately dismissive words of at least one reviewer--who apparently finds it ridiculous that someone might need a trash bag big enough for, you know, an entire family--I am going to come down on the "not big enough" side of the argument.I'm going to venture a guess that those reviewers who think this bag has plenty of room are either single people or childless couples. If you're typically the only person in your car and you usually grab a Starbucks on the way to work, or you want a place to toss candy bar wrappers, gas receipts and trash from an occasional solo trip to McDonald's (provided you aren't a big eater), this bag is large enough that you will probably only need to empty it once every day or two. If, however, you are like me and you have a family of six (or even four) this bag isn't big enough for even one trip to Subway. At 10 x 6.5 x 9 inches it is really ridiculously tiny when you consider how much trash a bunch of kids on a road trip can produce. The XL designation, in my opinion, is somewhat misleading. If this is XL I can't imagine how tiny the S or even the M size bags must be. I guess maybe you could get a coffee cup in them, but not much else.As for durability and quality, it seems to be very well made. It doesn't tip over, the material seems pretty good quality and I really like the fact that it has a lid to hide the unsightly garbage. I primarily gave it three stars because I think the manufacturer shouldn't be claiming "XL" size--I know I should really have looked at the specs before ordering, but in my mind XL means XL and I feel like I was a little mislead.If you are generally the only person in your car, this bag is a good choice for you. For families, though, keep looking. Since this bag wasn't terribly expensive I will probably hang onto it to use in the front seat for those days I don't have my kids with me, but I'll be looking for something larger for the back seat.
