Rectangular Step Can, 55L / 14.5 Gallon Kitchen Trash Can, Liner Rim System, Liner Pocket®, 150,000-Step Pedal, Lid Shox® Silent Close, Brushed Stainless Steel

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.

simplhuman definitely makes the nicest trash cans out here. Actually, pretty much everything they make is fantastic! They're expensive, but you get what you pay for. Particularly like this trash can. This trash can is the perfect size for our apartment, with me and my wife. It looks great, does not attract fingerprints, and is easy to wipe off. The opening mechanism works perfectly, is easy to activate since it's the width of the trash can, feels very solid, and has a soft close mechanism in it. When you use the appropriate simple human bags for it, you cannot see the bag at all when it's closed, which makes the whole thing look a lot cleaner. Speaking of the bags, love their trash bags! They're a lot more money than other trash bags you could get from Costco or anywhere else (which would also work with this trash can, if desired). However, it's another case of getting what you pay for. Simplehuman bags come in a dispenser package that slides into the back of this trash can and opens into the inside. When you pull out the used trash bag, there's another one waiting for you right there. They're very heavy duty and you can mash trash down into this thing without worrying that it's going to break (never had a bag break yet). Since they are made to perfectly fit the can, you can get a lot more trash in here than you would otherwise, and go through fewer bags.

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.

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.

We recently replaced one of the older SimpleHuman rectangular step cans. The lid finally broke after 10 years of constant use. I had a lot of trouble justifing the price of this trash can, it just seemed ridiculous but I thought about how much we use it and how much the other one annoyed me everyday and decided it was worth it. This trash can is wonderful. The biggest positive, it my mind, is the absense of nooks and crannies and places for debris to get stuck under the lid. The old trash can had so many places to keep clean, it was aggravating. Especially with small children who seem to scrape their plates anywhere but into the actually center of the can. This one has a surface under the lid that is very easy to quickly wipe clean. Inside the can is also very smooth and easy to clean. I don't usually like buying things that need special refills but so far the bags are really nice, they fit tightly and are a good thickness. The trash can does have a rim that drops over the edge of the can that holds the bag down so I don't think it would be a big deal to just use a regular bag but I haven't tried that yet. Fast forward Oct 2019 The slow close mechanism started failing after about 2 years. The garbage can has held up well, I think the metal on the top could have been stronger, has some dents in it. But what went bad the worst was the lid lift. After 2 and half years of very hard use it would only lift about two inches and then you have to lift by hand the rest of the way, which can be gross and annoying. Side note, some people complain about the can not being leak-proof. Maybe if you have a lot of really wet trash, which we don’t seem to, it might be a problem but we have never had a leak. We also always use the size Q liners. I recalled that simplehuman had a warranty so I contacted them about the lid problem. Sent them a picture and description of issue. Lo and behold without much trouble we received a brand new garbage can yesterday. So, all in all, definitely worth it. Would totally purchase again.

It’s expensive, but it’s so worth it. I looked for a trash can for legit almost 4 months. There was only one trash can that came close to this, but the quality was much worse for the price. This trashcan was by far the nicest looking, and most well built one I’ve found. Simplehuman is expensive but they make really nice looking stuff. It comes with a warranty, and they also sell replacement parts. It’s very well built and great quality. Over a year now and through a move it looks new. I Ended up buying a second one for recycling too. Edit: About 2 years and the trash can still look and functions like new. I sometimes will force close it and I used to actually lug this up my stairs to throw cat litter in it from 3 boxes. Would have upto probably 10- 20 lbs cat litter in it, lugging down the stairs. I accidentally smacked it against my wood post. Use it as a main now and it looks and functions as brand new.

Expensive as hell. But man it kicks ass. We use Glad 13 Gallon Flex bags, and they just BARELY fit around the lid, but they DO work. You can use the simple human bags, but there just a bit more expensive. The greatest thing about this trashcan is that it holds so much more than any other regular 13 or 15 gal trash can I've seen. It uses ALL the available space in the bags. So I get thru so many less bags than before, and I only need to take the trash out half as much. It was a life saver. My wife had me taking out the trash every day or so, and now, I can get by with sometimes 4 to 5 days. It was ridiculous how much more volume we get with this sucer. Plus, I did a lot of research on automatic, or slimer designs, and I will tell you. A tried and true FOOT switch like this one, with a large bar that stretches across the entire front of the can, is the absolute way to go. It's sturdy and strong. Will last the 10 year warranty for sure. And it is very good looking. So despite the astronomical price, it's worth it. Trust me. It's worth it. Now go take out the trash because you know your small can needs to be replaced already and is still full. :)

I bought this trash can six and a half years ago after being sick of smelly trash cans that quit working after a couple months. It was a huge splurge at the time, but it has been worth it 100 times over. I have moved with this trash can probably 10 times. It has been used and abused. If you ask me what my favorite purchase I have ever made, it is this trash can. The step still feels super solid and works perfectly. The size is perfect. I love that the lip covers the liner. It is easy to clean. I don’t use their trash bags bc I am cheap, but that is a nice feature for those who choose to use it. Whenever the topic of trash cans come up, I am taking the opportunity to hype this trash can. It’s deserved.

Second one I'm buying. It could be a bit cheaper for what you get, but the pricing makes sense considering there is no real alternative.

Comme toute chose, si l'on souhaite acquérir quelque chose d'esthétique, durable, facile à utiliser, il faut mettre le prix... Cette poubelle est certes chère mais contrairement à d'autres elle répond aux précédents critères. Il s'agit d'une acquisition pour de très nombreuses années et non du jetable en plastique (pensons à notre planète). Les sacs de la marque, eux aussi plus chers que dans le commerce, s'adaptent parfaitement et sont effectivement d'une grande solidité. En plusieurs mois d'utilisation, je n'ai eu aucune fuite liquide dans le fond de ma poubelle ni de sac qui se déchire quand on les retire, ce qui est fort appréciable. Pourtant, je la charge au maximum. Je vous conseille de les acheter en grande quantité afin de bénéficier d'un prix plus attractif à l'unité (sur Amazon ou sur le site du constructeur). La conception en inox permet un nettoyage facile, attention toutefois à ne pas utiliser le grattoir de votre éponge afin de ne pas la railler. Avec cette poubelle, vous n'aurez plus de honte à la laisser apparente. Aucune odeur à déplorer (sauf quand on l'ouvre évidemment). Le petit plus est l'emplacement pour ranger vos sacs. Pour résumé, il s'agit d'un achat que je ne regrette vraiment pas et que je conseille sans hésitation.

Prodotto ottimo per dimensioni e funzionamento. A distanza di un paio di anni, mantiene inalterata funzionalità sistema apertura e chiusura e verniciatura. Pratico e bello. Magari occorre trovarlo in offerta... visto il prezzo

Bought this because the lower models from this company available at stores in Canada suck... this one is about the same price as a crappy one they sell in stores here... but is 100x better. Its beautiful, twice the build strength of my last one that only survived 1.5 years.... comes with 10 yr warranty, works smoothly, has liner storage, just great. I feel richer, like a fancy person, for having this in my kitchen. **UPDATE** this thing works great and is really tough. Months of use, it keeps the smells away way better than my last one and the foot mechanism is very strong.

Started off looking for a stainless steel pedal bin. One that wouldn't rust with time and was easy to clean if the bin liners broke or of the eventual case of cleaning a smelly bin. Couldn't find anything that was of decent quality. I came across this bin and listing and considered it for about a month before taking the plunge. Was trying to decide whether the price was justified. After purchasing it arrived extremely quickly with reasonable postage costs at the time. It came with 10 simplehuman bin liners as well. I'm extremely happy with my purchase, the quality is faultless, it's easy to clean, looks appealing (it's like a feature now instead of just the kitchen bin) and holds about a week's worth of rubbish for my household. Definitely worth every cent.
