Overview
This Mind Reader set holds two square metal mesh wastebaskets in black, each 9.75 by 9.75 by 12.25 inches and rated to hold up to 5 gallons.
Odors and moisture are meant to escape through the open mesh rather than get trapped the way a solid plastic bin traps them, which matters most for bathroom or kitchen duty. Selling as a pair covers two rooms, or a trash and recycling split in one room, from a single purchase.
- Set of 2, black
- 9.75 x 9.75 x 12.25 inches each
- 5 gallon capacity per bin
- Reinforced steel mesh
Who it's for
Furnishing a home office, dorm room or bathroom pair calls for small, ventilated bins like these rather than one large kitchen trash can. This is not sized for kitchen trash duty alone, where a taller step-can with a lid handles more volume.
Pros and cons
- Set of two covers two rooms at once
- Mesh design ventilates odors and moisture
- Reinforced steel construction
- Compact footprint fits under desks
- No lid, so contents are visible through the mesh
Performance notes
The steel mesh body and rolled rim are what give the bin its durability over molded plastic, with a solid base holding shape under a full 5-gallon load. The open mesh weave is the ventilation mechanism, letting air move through rather than sealing odors inside like a solid-wall bin.
