simplehuman 45 Liter / 12 Gallon Liter Rectangular Hands-Free Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Brushed Stainless Steel with Plastic Lid

This arrived better than expected. It’s the nicest standalone waste bin that I’ve ever used. The bags fit well and are easy to put in. The full bags come out easily. The foot pedal works nicely and the lid is very quiet and effective. It’s attractive as a steel can goes. It has a compartment to hold more bags but after we used the ones that came with it, we just use the standard kitchen size bags from the store. After moving from a home with a hidden can in the cabinet, hubby wasn’t too thrilled that we were going back to a stand-a-lone trash can again. It seems you never have room for them and it’s never in a convenient place when you find room. And they are usually pretty ugly. But we both really like this one.

This is my second time ordering this can. The older one is still in perfect condition - I needed an additional one for outside. It is nice and neat - very easy to switch bags. This comes with it's own special bags but you can use the regular 13 gallon bags from the store. There is no bulky inner bin to pull out and replace. It looks great and stays clean. It does not rust. It just makes my everyday life easier. I never thought I's rave about a trash can, but this is the best.

I never knew a trash can could be beautiful until I purchased this product. Although it is pricey, I was thankful to have gotten it on sale. It is very sturdy and well-designed. The lid opens and closes slowly, which I think will help it last longer. The size is just right, and I appreciate the trash bag storage compartment located inside the trash bin. I also like that it came with an air freshener pod.

After over 7 years and having saved my life, the last Simple Human kitchen trash can needed to be replaced. We LOVE the dispenser for the bags and this can is even better than the last one! The bags fit snuggly and are heavy duty. We could not be more pleased. (YES! The old can saved my life. The distance between our refrigerator and the wall across from it is 5 ft. I slipped on a very slippery waxed floor in socked feet and fell looking at the refrigerator with my back to the wall where we had the trash can. Had the can not been there, and broken my fall, my neck would surely have snapped when I landed. I took the dents out and we kept that trash can for years until the lid opening mechanism finally broke.)

I was looking for a decent looking trash can... Not even kidding I have gotten so many compliments on this trash can. Even came with bag refills to try which are great but can't beat Sam's/Costco prices for 200 trash bags. It did also come with a scent pod that has a designated spot built in I will be buying refills. Trash can always smells great (never thought I would say that)! Highly recommend this product and all SimpleHuman products I got the papertowel roll holder and it is awesome, I never would have thought twice about such simple products but they do feel luxury for a fairly reasonable price!

I would never admit how much I spent on this trashcan but it was worth it. It looks clean, and actually elegant in my kitchen and the soft close feature is great. It says it has a smudge-free finish but my kids managed to put fingerprints all over but they wipe away easily - and now that you can't just lift the lid, you have to use the foot pedal, my kids don't touch it much. The first one I ordered did not have the soft close, it would fall fast and sometimes do a soft close at the bottom but not all the time. I normally don't like the hassle of returns, but I did return/request a new one and so glad I did. It's very roomy and keeps odors locked in. The Simple Human bags are awesome - big, thick and durable but also super expensive. After using a few I decided to put one of my store bought bags over the Simple Human bag just in case it tears to avoid leaks. So far so good. The store bought bags for 13 gallons fits this 14.5 trashcan, you just have to stretch it slightly at the top to fit over the rim and don't fill it to the max. I may buy a pack of the Simple Human bags eventually but honestly the others work just fine and you only notice when you're putting on and taking off. I feel like I'm saving money and that in itself will pay for the actual trash can. The one con would be that it does slide. The pressure of stepping on the foot pedal causes the trashcan to slide each time and depending on where it's located can be a nuisance. I have it against the side of my island and the counter-top sticks further out so if the trashcan is sitting against the island completely the lid will bang against the island counter top. I just have to pull it away every now and then - but not a huge inconvenience.

After frustrated with several replaced failed linkages on spendy battery power “touch free” units this was a simple mechanical solution worth the money. Would give it 5 if I knew it would last….I think it will. Sturdy and attractive.

Best trash can I bought. I wasn’t sure about the quality because I had read some reviews of dints and bends but mine came really nicely packed and looks and performs amazing as well. I try it out with placing trash inside and it holds a lot. I place my feet on the lid opening and it opens very smoothly and it works nicely as well we don’t have animals but I’m pretty sure that the can’t get into my trash. It doesn’t weight a lot. Love it also it has an odor pod that you can invest on Amazon or through directly to the company but I would just get them on Amazon. It smells really nicely. Also comes with a refrigerator reminder for bags. My new beautiful trash can love it 🥰
