Okay, so I finally caved and bought these HOTOR trash cans after seeing them everywhere. Verdict? They’re actually worth the hype!

The size is *chef’s kiss*—fits snugly in my car door pocket without being obnoxious. No more rogue candy wrappers rolling under my seats! The auto-flip lid is satisfying to use (weirdly therapeutic?), and it actually blocks smells. My car used to reek of old coffee cups—crisis averted.

Bonus: Comes with 30 trash bags, which feels excessive until you realize you’ll go through them fast if you’re a snack monster like me. Pro tip: The bags are sturdy, but I skip them for dry trash—way easier to just dump the whole can into a big bin.

Design-wise? Cute but not cutesy. The diamond pattern makes it look like a fancy organizer rather than a sad little trash bin. Fits my aesthetic of ‘I tried but not too hard.’

Downsides: 1) Lid pops off if you slam your car door (learned this the hard way). 2) Won’t fit massive trash—this isn’t for your half-eaten burrito, folks. Stick to receipts and gum wrappers.

Final thought: For $[price], these are clutch. My car hasn’t been this clean since… ever? 4.5/5 stars (lid drama deducted half a star).
