Suncast GH1732 Outdoor Trash Hideaway Review

Suncast GH1732 Outdoor Trash Hideaway
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had two of these for a few years. They are extremely durable, but there is a major design flaw.
The inside has plastic ribs design to help strengthen the containers.
This is where the problem is. When you fill trash bags up inside the container, the bags expand and the trash
nestles into the grooves. This makes pulling a full bag of trash out of the the container a major struggle. If
your trash bag is on the thin side, it will tear several times and you will be wrestling, tugging, pulling, twisting
and yanking with everything you have.
The other part of this is that the larger of the two openings is smaller than the overall width of the inside. Therefore the bag is bigger inside and all expanded and caught up inside the inner ribs. I dread Trash Tuesdays because of the pain that it has become to remove the trash.
One other note, the containers features very deep graining which keeps the item from looking like cheap plastic, but beware, this also means the dirt settles in. The only way I have found to truly clean these is with a power washer.

Rubbermaid 7085 Base Cabinet Review

Rubbermaid 7085 Base Cabinet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought 2 of these on Amazon.com for $59.99 each with free shipping. I wanted plastic storage compartments for my garage rather than particle board as sometimes snow melting and falling off of the tires can get the garage floor wet. If particle board gets wet it falls apart while plastic does not. The cabinet assembled nicely, with no tools required. The doors shut fine. I suspect that people who have problems shutting their doors have not properly assembled the cabinet. To snap the top of the cabinet into place, you have to have the doors open. They will then close fine. The doors do have tiny holes for inserting a padlock.

This is a perfect cabinet to use for garage storage, where its slightly homely appearance won't matter, and where wooden or metal cabinets would be likely to get dinged by yard tools, cars, and so on.
The cabinet is easy to assemble-you don't need tools to do it, though a soft mallet may be helpful. As with most Rubbermaid products, this one is almost indestructible. The cabinet's lightweight construction makes relocating it easy, and it has a small footprint for what it can hold (it has 10.7 cubic feet of storage area, and will support up to 335 pounds). If you intend to use the cabinet to store toxic items, you may want to consider ordering a set of locks from the manufacturer as these are not included with the cabinet.--Josh Dettweiler
