simplehuman 55 Liter / 14.5 Gallon Rectangular Hands-Free Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, 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.

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 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.

The simplehuman Liner Rim Rectangular Step Trash Can is a great, functional trash can with a sleek profile and contemporary design. Not to mention its spacious interior. The innovative mechanism that helps silently and slowly close the trash lid with ease is what makes this trash can stand out from competitors. Even being placed straight against the wall, the top of the lid does not even touch the wall when you fully open the trash can. ---($129.99 for a 12 gal.) (note: I bought this model [12 gal.] for $103.99 on May 2016)--- The high price compared to other +10 gallon trash bins might draw you away from buying this model if you are on a budget, however you need to ask yourself two questions, "is it worth it and does it meet my needs and wants?". I would say its worth it if you have some extra cash laying around because this trash can is meant to last a while, I don't mean 5 years!! It comes with a 10 year warranty and just by the looks of the build of the trash bin, I potentially see more than 10 years of service life. Like a great investment. Well its hard to give a more detailed review since this trash can is simple, and writing even more will make you more indecisive. So I attached several images to help you decide. I recommend that you buy the white steel model if you want minimal visible scratch marks. Stainless steel looks great at first when its brand new, however as the trash can ages, you are going to see a whole lot of marks, including water marks and scratches from cleaning the trash can. Wish everyone the best and also, the best buying experience!

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.

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.

Good bin, simple human are always overpriced, but you prob know this before purchase. bin woul be better with the internal bin as in older models but no doubt there saving a few quid here, loos good, and does the job
