Sturdy and great quality
Size: 50 Liter Trash Can
this a sturdy trash can. great quality. looks great in the kitchen. easy to remove bags and replace them because there is a little ledge inside that the inner container can rest on. the lid doesn't slam and closes quietly. the only complaint is minor - if you want to keep the lid open there is a plastic button that you slide in position. it's difficult to slide this button. maybe it will get easier over time? also, the simple human trash bags are definitely much stronger than the Hefty or Glad we used to buy with our old trash can. these bags don't tear!

Buy it!
Size: 38 Liter Trash Can
Buy this product! It is well made and worth the money. The lid works the way it should. It takes up minimal space. It's just well thought-out and it looks good. In one day we use our kitchen trash can so many times and we didn't realize what a difference it can make to have a trash can like this. We recommend the 10 gal size for a kitchen, it's probably quite big enough for most. Buy it!

One of My Best Purchases Ever!
Size: 50 Liter Trash Can
I struggled for years with cheap trash cans in my kitchen. The last one was white plastic, so cheaply made that the popup mechanism on the lid broke so it opened when the front pedal was depressed but didn't close itself. Forget about being hands-free! After the cheapo can slid out from my foot and fell over, I had had enough. I jumped on Amazon to find the best trash can I possibly could, and I was successful. This trash can simply rocks. It is heavy enough to stay in place. The soft-close lid works like a charm. The pedal is heavy-duty and will last a very long time. The whole inner plastic can is easy to work with and makes removing and replacing trash bags easy. Finally, it looks amazing! I never thought that my kitchen decor would be improved by a trash can, but this one did it. It it perfect? Close. There are a couple of things that could be improved. The lid-locking sliding button on my unit cannot be put into place by opening the lid all the way with the pedal and then sliding it into the locking position. I found that I have to slightly push the lid backward for the sliding lock to go fully into place. Then when the pedal is released, the lid stays fully out of the way when trash bags are removed and replaced. I also found that traditional trash bags from the store cannot fit onto the inner trash can without seriously stretching them. It takes some muscle. It means that children and the elderly may not be able to change the trash bag if using typical tall kitchen trash bags. I took the easy way out of this situation by ordering trash bags specifically for the trash can from the manufacturer (simplehuman). Because there are quite a few of the sample bags sent with the trash can, it took me weeks to run out of them. I found them to be quite superior to everyday trash bags because they are folded and not rolled, very easy to open and use, and they appear to be more durable than conventional trash bags. I am very satisfied with the trash bags and especially the trash can. This product is clearly more expensive than other trash cans, but it is very worth the cost and quite stylish. It may be one of the only utilitarian items in your kitchen that you frequently get compliments on.

Love this Trash Can
Size: 50 Liter Trash Can
We love this Trash Can. So easy to use and clean. Brushed Stainless Steel fits so nicely in our kitchen. Bags are very sturdy and simple to take out and put in new ones. The step to open lid is very convenient and works perfectly. Highly recommend this product.

you'll feel boujie but it's a great trashcan
Size: 46 Liter Recycler
Once you get over the hurdle of paying this much for a trashcan, you'll be glad you did. It's way more elegant than a trashcan has any right to be, works very well, and brings effective design to something you likely use multiple times a day. Thoughts: * Lid seems to seal well, closes quietly. * You can pop the lid open part way for small trash (no need to open it all the way). * I got the stainless lid because why put a plastic lid (that'll discolor/scratch over time) on a trashcan like this? * There's some (not much) wasted space inside to fit those nicely curved containers. * Containers lift out pretty easily, but don't have handles. * Containers stand up on their own (ie, while you change bags). * Two sizes of Simplehuman bags are included (10 of each). They're extra sturdy. * Capacity is GOOD if you don't need to throw away giant things and you don't generate a lot of BOTH trash and recycling. Apart from price, there's two major drawbacks: * Custom trash bags - I don't want to deal with that. The competing Kohler uses normal kitchen (13gal) bags. I think I can use them here but there's not much space to tuck the extra material. * The smaller container fills up fast. So if you use it for recycling, it won't take many containers. If you use it for trash (I do), normal use will fill it quickly. This is sized for a home where there's not a lot of people and/or you don't generate a lot of trash. Pictured: Closed and Open under a counter lip with 35.5" clearance. Notice it fits cleanly, even open. Assuming everything holds up as well as I expect from other reviews, this is the last kitchen trashcan I'll buy for a long time, it works very well for my volume of waste, and thus it's Recommended. Even if I'm embarrassed at spending so much on a trashcan.

Nice ... but with a visual flaw
Size: 46 Liter Recycler
This can functions very nicely so far. Lid opens and closes smoothly and quietly. The locking feature holds the thin metal lid up well and is easy to manipulate. Foot pedal seems very sturdy and operates easily. The sample bags that come with it fit perfectly (the buckets inside are narrow and deep). I'm sure you could use regular 13 gallon kitchen bags for this, but the price difference between those and the SimpleHuman brand is negligible, so we purchased SimpleHuman bags (some here on Amazon, and some on the SimpleHuman website because of price differences). The can is sleek and attractive (for a garbage can, that's saying something) and the internal buckets are easy to take out. The stainless matches my appliances well and so far we've not had problems with fingerprints or smudges at all. There's an air damper in the back to ensure the lid closes completely and also, I'm assuming, to reduce air compression when sliding the buckets back in. The capacity is very small - 4 gallons on one side, 8 gallons on the other - but that works for us in our apartment since we have a trash chute steps away from our entry door. We use the smaller side for trash and the larger side for recycling as we always have more recycling than trash. We are a family of four that works hard to reduce our waste. This can might not have enough capacity for folks who don't strive for a small trash output. COUPON ALERT! The can is backed by a 10 year SimpleHuman warranty and registration on their website was ... well ... simple. When you register, they give you a 20% off coupon for your next order that expires one short week after you register. I wish I'd known that before buying the H and V bags that fit this can. Would have been nice to use that discount on my order. So heads up, review readers! If you're buying bags for this can or any other SimpleHuman product directly from their website, do so AFTER you register! The sheet metal components are thin. This doesn't affect functionality in the least, but it does cause one problem. I received the first can, saw a ding in the front lower right corner, and returned it for replacement. Repeat that once more. Now I'm on my third can and it has the exact same small ding in the same spot. (See first pic) It's not a ding, really, but a bump which looks to have been caused in manufacturing rather than during shipping and it was the same on all of the cans we swapped. I saw in the reviews that many others experienced this same flaw and I had fully intended to keep returning the can until I got one that wasn't marred. I was holding out hope that "third time's a charm" would apply here, but all three cans had this ding in the same spot. You win Amazon/SimpleHuman. I'm tired of walking to/from the UPS store to return it and I'm tired of waiting for a replacement can to arrive so I've given up and just decided to keep can number three even with the ding and the crazy price tag. An outrageously priced garbage can such as this should have absolutely no imperfections at all. Come on, SimpleHuman. You can do better QC.

It's a keeper! Very happy with this trash can!
Size: 46 Liter Recycler
I love the two compartments, also love the soft-close of the lid, which is very slim (not clunky at all) and doesn't hit the wall that the trash can lean against. It's easy to replace new bags (fit Costco tall kitchen bags for the bigger compartment), easy to open and lock the lid when I have to change bags. It's a keeper.

Perfect in almost every way
Size: 38 Liter Trash Can
I've been using an open-top trash can in my kitchen for years and finally ordered this one after it was recommended by a couple of very reputable product testing sites. I wish I had bought it years earlier! It's wonderful having hands-free operation, and the design is very attractive (a word I never thought I'd use to describe a trash can). It matches my stainless appliances nicely. I decided to steer clear of motion-sensing cans that require batteries and are more likely to break down, and I'm glad I made that choice because this much simpler foot pedal works just as quickly and smoothly. Pro tip: Don't order a bigger can than this one unless you have a really big family, because you may find that you often need to empty the can before it's full (because of odors that build up over a few days). This can has made me realize how many odors that are now contained by the can were once free to circulate in my kitchen! The reason I said this can is perfect in ALMOST every way is because I wish the bin accepted a standard-size bag. The Simple Human bags that come with the can provide a perfect, tight fit and you don't have to fuss with them to make sure they are tucked properly around the rim—but it costs more for these custom bags than purchasing a standard-size one that doesn't fit as tightly. I don't mind spending more for a high-quality, well-designed product that seems like it will last for many years (like this can), but I'm reluctant to pay a premium for disposable bags. Simple Human very wisely provides 10 bags when you order a can, and also includes a coupon for 20% off on the next order of bags. Now that I've seen how nicely they fit, and tried the must less satisfying standard-fit bags, I'm very tempted to go back to the custom ones.
