simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can with Liner Rim, Grey Plastic

This trashcan is the best trashcan I've ever had. I'm going to echo the other reviewers here but I will not plagiarize. This really is a wonderful trash can and I can't believe I'm actually saying that. I guess I like it so much because I've only ever had trashcans that suck.Everything about this trashcan is fantastic. There's a pocket for extra trash bags on the backside of the can. My little boy likes folding up trash bags and stuffing them into this pocket.The foot pedal is well balanced with the trash can and when you step on it, the trash can doesn't lurch forward at you like other trash cans. The lid closes slowly so you can toss something extra in if you didn't remember the first time. The top rim lifts up and easily stands open so you can lift out a full trash bag and insert a new one. This is a terrific feature as most others have to be held open while you get the bag in only to have the lid slam down so hard that the bag falls into the can. NOT SO with this beauty. Now, it comes with simplehuman trash bags designed for this product that fit the trash can perfectly. They are lovely trash bags and durable as well. If you like higher quality trash bags, I recommend them, but they're not in my budget and so I buy the regular stretchy ones with the drawstring ties at the wholesale/bulk-item store nearest to me. The regular drawstring tie trash bags fit this can quite nicely. They are tight around the top rim of the can and I really like that because that means the they are NOT going to fall into the can no matter what I put in there. The store bags fit so well that we are able to stuff each bag so full that the bag will rip down lower but will never come loose at the top. This is not a problem for me. My beef with all other trash cans I've ever had was that the lid didn't keep the darn bag attached to the can, no matter what. Sometimes the top part of the bag will pop a bit where the drawstrings are, but this doesn't concern me, because the bag doesn't ever rip from the top.This trash can is easy to clean. Although this may not mean much, the stickers that came on the trash can were easy to remove too.I think the lid closing slowly is probably my favorite feature because I had grown so tired of the slamming lids of other trash cans. I have three children and a husband and so the old trash can made a heck of a lot of noise for a very long time.I'm so glad that I spent a little bit more and treated myself to this trash can. When people come to visit and compliment the trash can (can you believe that? that's how cool this thing is...) I can't help but tell them how much I like it.It's crazy that a trash can makes a difference in daily life in the kitchen, but it does.I can honestly say that I love this trash can.

The look on my husband's face when I told him I had ordered an $80 trash can (80 at the time... I think the price may have gone up since then) was simultaneously hilarious and also a little concerning.... I was really hoping that it would turn out to be decent and worth the money. I mean, either way, I would be right... but still, it's nice to actually be right when you're right. Ya know?Anyways, the $80 trash can definitely ended up being worth the money... although my husband would never admit this. But I think he likes the fancy features too... even if he doesn't find them necessary. Lol.Of course, the silent-close lid (that really is silent) and the little pedal to open it are super convenient and function very well. But then the added details, like the inner liner pocket dispenser and stabilizer bar on the bin are some of my favorite things about it overall.I will say that while I was a little annoyed when I realized that this can took custom bags and could not fit the regular kitchen-sized bags that we'd usually buy, the K bags that are made for it are really good quality and provide some extra space as well as less tearing than any of the Hefty ones I'd used in the past.It's easy to clean, does everything it's supposed to (and a lil extra) and looks extremely nice in the small kitchen we have (without taking up too much space). What more could you ask for with a trash can? haha.

Great quality. Love the functionality. Rented a condo and saw this can. Purchased as soon as we came home. Great value and holds quite a bit. Pizza boxes will fit if folded and gallon jugs fit fine. Installed in just a few quick clicks!

I'm pretty happy with the functionality of this garbage can. I wanted a low tech solution to my kitchen garbage. I'd tried all the hand waving nonsense of other garbage cans and that frankly is just asking to drip whatever you're holding all over the floor while the genie inside the sensor decides whether or not to open the lid for you. This was a much more reliable solution for me.The fit and finish is high quality. The storage pocket for extra bags was really nice. It was great to have a refill on hand whenever the garbage got taken out. However, it seems that this pocket was engineers to fit only the garbage bags that are specifically made for the trash can. It would not fit a regular roll of garbage bags in any way (Unless it was down to like 1-2 bags and at that point why bother?). I would be more annoyed if the custom bags were significantly higher in price but at the time of writing they are pretty comparable to what I'm buying now so it's a wash for me.In all, nice garbage can that works like it should. Fair warning it did scrape the paint up on the kitchen island where I put it, but I'm not sure if that's the fault of the garbage can or the crappy job that was done building the kitchen island. I suspect the later.
