Small Bathroom Trash Cans: 2 Picks Compared
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
Cesun and iDesign are the two products in the research set for the office storage and organization cesun vs idesign search. Both listings describe small bathroom-style trash cans rather than office storage units, so this page compares them on bin size, capacity, opening style and materials.
Every figure below comes from the listing data checked on 2026-10-12. Where one listing gives two values for the same field, both values are shown, and conflicting values are flagged instead of resolved.
Quick answer
Choose the Cesun if a step-on pedal, a stainless steel body and a stay-open lid matter most. Choose the iDesign if an open-top plastic bin with a stated 7 liter capacity and a narrower footprint fits the space better. The listings do not settle which one is the better fit, and the iDesign item weight is not usable as printed.

Cesun 1.6 gallon step-on trash can
The listing states a capacity of 1.6 gallons and a matte black stainless steel body with a powder-coated finish. The listed dimensions are 11.2 inches long, 5.9 inches wide and 12.2 inches high. The bin opens with a step-on pedal, and the bullets describe a soft-close lid, a lid that stays open for longer chores and a removable inner bucket.
- Capacity: 1.6 gallons (listing checked 2026-10-12)
- Room types: Bathroom, Bedroom, Home Office
- Bag fit: the bullets say it takes standard 1.5 to 1.6 gallon bags
iDesign 7 liter open-top trash can
The listing states 7 liters, and one bullet restates the same capacity as 1.9 gallons. The bin is oval and open-top, made of plastic, with a matte finish in white. The bullets give the size as 10.56 by 5.5 by 9.77 inches, and the metric line reads 26.8 by 14 by 24.8 centimeters.
- Capacity: 7 liters (listing checked 2026-10-12)
- Included components: waste basket
- Recommended use field: Kitchen bin, which does not match its bathroom room type
How these two listings were set side by side
Both products come from the same search pool, and both listings were checked on 2026-10-12. The research file holds only these two products. The other candidates pulled for this keyword were office pieces such as pantry bins, a rolling file cabinet and a tissue box cover. They are not trash cans, so they are not compared here.
Worked example: capacity and footprint from the listed numbers
To put the two capacities in one unit, use 1 US gallon = 3.785 liters. Cesun’s 1.6 gallons is about 6.06 liters. iDesign’s 7 liters is about 1.85 gallons. The gap is about 0.94 liters, or about 0.25 gallons, in iDesign’s favor on stated capacity.
Footprint is the second check. Cesun’s listed 11.2 by 5.9 inches gives about 66.1 square inches of floor. iDesign’s 10.56 by 5.5 inches gives about 58.1 square inches, roughly 8 square inches less. Measure the actual gap against those two footprints, not against the brand names.
What the listings do not say
- The Cesun listing has no included-components field, so any accessory is unknown.
- The iDesign item weight is printed as 0.52 g. That figure is not plausible for a plastic bin of this size, so confirm the weight on the product page before using it.
- The iDesign recommended use says kitchen bin, while its room type says bathroom. Its bullets list bathroom, bedroom, laundry room, office, dorm room and RV.
- Neither listing gives a height limit for the bin opening or clearance for a lid that swings open.

Frequently asked questions
Which of these two trash cans lists the larger capacity?
The iDesign listing states 7 liters, about 1.85 US gallons. The Cesun listing states 1.6 gallons, about 6.06 liters. Compare the two in the same unit before deciding.
Does the Cesun can have a soft-close lid?
The Cesun bullets describe a soft-close lid, a stay-open feature and a step-on pedal. Confirm the lid behavior on the product page if quiet closing matters for your room.
Why does the iDesign weight look wrong?
The iDesign listing prints the item weight as 0.52 g. That value is far too small for a plastic bin of this size, so it is most likely a unit or entry error. Check the product page for the real weight.
Do these trash cans fit an office storage search?
Only partly. The Cesun listing names Home Office as a room type, while the iDesign listing names bathroom use only in its room type field, although its bullets mention an office.
Bottom line
For this pair, the decision comes down to the opening style and the footprint. Pick the Cesun for a step-on lid and stainless steel. Pick the iDesign for a plastic open-top bin with a stated 7 liter capacity. Confirm the iDesign weight and any accessory details on the product pages before ordering.
