Product Description
Product Description
simplehuman's stainless steel rectangular step can features an innovative 'liner pocket' that stores and dispenses liners from inside the can for a faster liner change. The stainless steel liner rim grips the liner and keeps it hidden. And with no inner bucket, there's more space for trash. Strong wide steel pedal is designed to last, and the patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time. Code M liner refill packs store perfectly in this can's liner pocket.

This review is actually for the SECOND can of this size I bought. Last year around this time I procured the can for our kitchen and just recently bought this one for my mother. It is great because it has a nice soft close lid that doesn't spring open when you don't want it to. It is brushed metal so it looks good in just about any kitchen. We live in a mid-century modern ranch with high ceilings and an open concept while my mother lives in an early 90's suburban home that has never been updated, and in neither location does this guy look out of place. It is quietly unassuming.
Another feature I love is the built in bag holder for the trash. While it specifically houses Simplehuman-branded bags, I am a fan of these custom bags even though they cost a bit more. They fit the cans well and are exceptionally sturdy, so again, I feel I am getting value in quality even though I am paying a bit more. We are a house of two and only fill two bags a week, tops, and my mother is a widow who will probably only fill a bag every 10 days.
The recycling tote is excellent. While we live in a city with mandated recycling and a dedicated recycling trash can we keep in our garage, we just fill it up and dump the recycling right into the rollout bin in the garage and do not use the blue bags, but the tote had a handle on it like a bucket so it is an easy process of removing and putting it back. I actually wish the recycling bin was larger as we fill that up every other day, so it is constantly full. My mother on the other hand, lives in a city where recycling is optional, so I got her the SImplehuman blue bags that fit this can and she likes it because it does not get too full or heavy for her to take out on trash night on her own, but likes that she is able to recycle with out it being a messy pain.
Clearly this is a versatile trash can even in these two environments. I never thought I'd be telling friends and family to plop down $200 on a trash can, but over the past year, I continually have. It is a really well made and thought out product and worth the money!

Pros: fits at end of counter island perfectly, no finger prints, scratches, etc after 2 weeks of use, came without dents and in full working order, love the low profile lid as it keeps a big Newfoundland dog from nosing into the garbage, slow closing lid is nice and there is no slamming noise with either opening or closing, smaller capacity than I envisioned but in no way a deal breaker as the garbage &/or recycle just get taken out one day earlier - cost of 20 feet and a bag..., appreciate the built in pocket for the bags - convenience I didn't even consider until this can, and lastly - it looks fantastic!
Cons: as another review said - non-Simplehuman bags fit but the knot to keep them on does show - I have tried multiple ways to use other bags and the engineers for all the pros also created a pro for the company - best if using SH bags - I did then also splurge for a box of the bags but will still use up my Costco supply for every day. My husband does wish there was a handle on the top so that one could also lift up the lid - but again - that would take away from the sleekness and an avenue for the dog to gain entry - but hubby still does like the can. I might look for a super powerful magnetic knob to try but haven't gone that far yet.
All said - I actually love a garbage can! I looked for a very long time, have a previous 4 still in the basement not to mention the disposed of ones for electronic lids breaking, steps breaking or just pieces of crap. Considering how many separate cans I have gone through, this can is worth the huge price tag - lots of engineering to pay for. It is wonderful to just have one can, not two, at the end of the counter and even guests who don't recycle can figure out that we do. I definitely recommend this purchase - so far so good. If it breaks soon, I will update this post but it does seem fairly solid.
The other thing that’s great is how close you can get it to the wall and still be able to replace the bags. Fantastic design.
It’s a trash can, so expect to wipe it down regularly.
In November 2023, the top part of the lid broke off. No clue how it happened, we don’t abuse it or anything. Needless to say I was disappointed and expecting to go through some convoluted warranty process. To my surprise it was extremely simple, with zero cost, not even shipping. Their website is very easy to use. I just needed to register the product with the serial number. They have a nice diagram of where to find it. Then there’s a claim warranty button, choose the part you need and they ship it at no cost.
The warranty claim experience is the reason I came back to do the review. Not only a great product, but great customer service. In this day and age that’s extremely rare.

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.
