Cut the car clutter with this bestselling trash can/organizer — it's down to $10
Say goodbye to mobile messes with this clever multitasker, a favorite of 35,000 5-star fans.
How messy is your car? Don't worry, we won't judge — ours is no better. If you're anything like us, it's probably high time you tidied up your ride's interior, and the No. 1 bestselling Hotor Car Trash Can could be just the solution you need. Right now, it's on sale for just $10 — yep, just a couple bucks more than the fast-food lunch responsible for all those fossilized fries below your driver's seat.
A water- and leak-proof design means you don't need to worry about anything icky dripping onto your floor mats. Alternatively, you can use this as an in-car organizer for accessories and other supplies.
Why is this a good deal? ??
You can't put a price on a clean car, and we've only ever seen this mega-popular car trash can go for a couple bucks cheaper. On the flip side, it's also sold for as much as $21 — but you won't have to pay nearly that much to neaten up your ride.
Why do I need this? ??
Finally, a place to toss the litter strewn on your floors and in your seat wells, as well as to secure the stuff you don't want to throw away, thanks to the pockets on each side. Did we mention it's completely waterproof and the bestselling product in its category, with over 35,000 five-star fans? The one we're spotlighting has a 2-gallon capacity, but if you need a slightly larger option, there's a 3-gallon version for a still-pretty-impressive $19.
Far-flung coffee cups, random receipts and spills find their way into every nook and cranny of your car's interior, eventually turning it into a disaster zone. The Hotor mobile trash can gives you an easy place to dispose of wrappers, cups and the like, while the organizer pockets on its sides can hold tissues, wipes and cleaning supplies to tackle problems fast — before they become a sticky substance in the bottom of your cup holder. It also fits almost every type of vehicle.
If you need precious interior space for something else, this trash can folds up for easy storage (just make sure it's empty first). Speaking of which: You can use the Hotor strictly as a storage bin for things like chargers and snacks for long road trips. The inner lining is not only waterproof but easily removable. Just give it a quick toss in the washing machine and it's good as new.
What reviewers say ??
This car trash can has more than 35,000 five-star reviews on Amazon — and, honestly, we get the hype.
Pros ??
"I've had this for a year and I love it!" marveled one motorist. "It may look small, but I fit two grocery bags' worth of trash in this little can! I appreciate the adjustable straps on it as well, so I could perfectly fit it in my car.
"I tried three different car trash cans and this one fit my needs perfectly," testified another. "It looks good too. The bag blends right into my black interior so it isn’t obvious. I hang it off the back of the center console and [it] is long enough to hang below the air conditioning vent for the back seat of my Honda CR-V. My dog really appreciates that!"
"I used to have receipts, food wrappers and all kinds of junk around my car," recalled a reviewer. "Since getting this bin, my car has been spotless. I mounted mine to hang behind my center console."
Cons ??
This customer had a particular nit to pick: "This is the perfect-sized trash bin for a car. I absolutely love it, only downside is it only comes with a few bags. Other than that, perfect buy for a loved one or self."
"My only complaint is that I wish they sold the trash liners that originally came with it separately, as I'd buy more of them!" said a five-star fan. "However, I've just been using it without a liner since I ran out and I haven't had any leaks or accidents at all."
Prefer a color that's still muted, but not basic black? Gray fits the bill for a few bucks more.
