The front doors swing open, so a full bag slides straight out at waist height. You never lift it again.

A full 13-gallon bag weighs what it weighs. What changes is the direction you have to move it: up and over a rim, or straight out the front.
Your biceps take the weight.
Holding a full bag with your arms out in front of you is the weakest position they work in. Pulling it forward keeps the load low and close.
Your lower back takes the bend.
Reaching down into the can loads your lumbar spine before the lift starts. The front doors put the bag at waist height instead.
Then both work at once.
Clearing the rim asks your arms and back to fight the same weight together, at the worst angle for each. Sliding it out asks neither.
The same three points, measured. We took one full bag out of a conventional top-lift can and out of a Pulli, and compared the load each time.
Elbow flexion torque, or the force your biceps hold the weight with.
Lumbar flexion, or how far forward your lower back has to bend.
The total force needed once the load moves horizontally instead of vertically.
Comparative biomechanical analysis. Full 13-gallon bag, conventional top-lift can against Pulli front-opening doors.
The doors stay locked shut under a full load. Lifting the lid releases them.
Both doors swing clear of the opening, so the bag does not catch on a corner.
175,000 open-and-close cycles, or about 24 years of opening it twenty times a day.
If a bag leaks, it stays in the base.
The base is sealed, so anything that escapes the liner collects there instead of running under your cabinets. It lifts out to be rinsed.
You can reach every corner.
The inside is smooth, and with the doors open you can get a cloth to all of it without reaching down into the can.
Fill
Standard 13-gallon bags, held by a rim that keeps the liner out of sight.
Lift the lid
One motion releases both front doors. They swing wide and stay there.
Pull
The bag slides out forward at waist height.

Appliance-grade stainless with an anti-fingerprint coating. A latch cycled 175,000 times before it shipped. A patent-pending door design that won Red Dot Best of the Best and a Good Design Award in 2025.
★★★★★"I honestly felt guilty paying 200+ for a trash can… but this product has met every benchmark they promised. Extremely easy to put a new bag in. Super easy to remove even if it was overfull. Honestly wish I'd purchased one three trash cans ago."

★★★★★"I hesitated to spend what this bin costs but it is worth every penny. I had no idea how irritating getting the bag out of my old one was becoming. Extremely high quality. Seems silly, but it makes my day easier."

★★★★★"Is it wrong to love a trash can? Not if it's a Pulli. Quiet and capable, good looking, thoughtfully designed, carefully built, innovative. What's not to love?"
