simplehuman 45 Liter / 12 Gallon Rectangular Hands-Free Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Matte Black 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 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!

Well to was time to replace the previous Simple Human can, unfortunately it is discontinued. I'm glad of it now as this can is better looking, larger and frankly it forced us to switch to the SH bags and now I carry the trash out far fewer times than with the Costco bags. The price I think will be a wash as fewer bags and the price isn't horrible if you do the subscribe plan through Amazon. Really like this, never thought I would write a review for a trashcan but welcome to 2025!

I would give this all five stars but for the fact that every step to open is accompanied by a loud, annoying squeaking from the mechanism. For the record, I weigh about 100 pounds and have not stomped on the pedal, just go with a light step. I had been using the can for less than a week when these sound effects began. I have tried moving it here and there, but it doesn't seem to be due to imbalance or surface issues beneath the can. I owned a Simple Human step to open can, without the slow close lid feature, for about 10 years before the opening of the lid mechanics failed. I'm not optimistic this one will make it that long. I like the look of this trash can, it wipes clean with a light stroke of a damp microfiber cloth. The sample liners included with the can fit very snugly around the top, which is then completely covered when the lid closes. It does require a little care in positioning the bag to fit. They are also very easy to remove. The storing of the liners in the back of the can is a feature I really like; you just pull the bag through the inside of the can and voila! Although the replacement bags are a bit more expensive, they really are high quality - if that's the sort of thing you don't mind paying for.

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 🥰
