What are the dimensions of each individual compartment? Would a standard size brown grocery bag fit?

Each Compartment is 10"x6" at the opening and 20" deep. You could NOT fit a brown paper bag in it. The trash can is really great though.

Does someone know if the simplehuman custom bags fit these well? If so which is the right size?

We actually use this 3 can step & sort only for compost & the 13 gallon food waste bags fit perfectly. I do not know anything about the simplehuman custom bags, but 13 gallon is the right size. You will definately want to get the big rubber bands made specifically to hold the garbage bags "up" or they will fall in no matter what size bag you use. We also have the 2 can step & sort for regular garbage & the "tall kitchen" garbage bags (13 gal) also fits that one. Hope this helps you.

how tall is it with lid open. want to place under a shelf that is 34" high

The lid comes to 33.5 inches. My counter is 35.5 inches high and then accounting for the width of the cabinet, this only gives me about a half inch of space between the lid and the underneath of the counter.

This model does not have soft close.
