Description

A touch-bar dual compartment trash can for kitchens that take recycling seriously. simplehuman's 48L touch-bar can opens with just a touch of your hand, a tap of your elbow, or a bump of your hip — easy to use even when both hands are full of food prep or carrying groceries. Two large inner buckets and a wide opening make it easy to sort trash and recyclables in one place. The lid stays open hands-free for as long as you like, and a specially shaped hinge moves up and out of the way for the widest opening possible — without the lid hitting the wall behind the can.

  • Sleek Efficiency for the Modern Kitchen
Size: 40 Liter Slim Style: Trash Can
I've recently started using the simplehuman 40 Liter/10.6 Gallon Slim Touch-Bar Kitchen Trash Can in Brushed Stainless Steel, and it's been a revelation in kitchen cleanliness and design. This trash can isn't just a receptacle for waste; it's a thoughtfully designed appliance that combines functionality with sleek aesthetics, elevating the overall look and feel of my kitchen. The touch-bar mechanism is a standout feature. It's incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to open the can effortlessly from any angle, whether I tap it with my hand, elbow, or hip. This is particularly handy when my hands are full or dirty while cooking. The touch-bar also provides a cleaner alternative to a pedal system, where foot traffic can lead to wear and tear. The size and shape of the trash can are perfect for my kitchen. At 40 liters, it's spacious enough to handle a significant amount of waste without requiring constant emptying. The slim design is a real space-saver, fitting snugly in tighter spaces or against the wall, which is crucial in smaller kitchens or areas where space is at a premium. The brushed stainless steel finish of the simplehuman trash can is both beautiful and practical. It adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen, blending well with other stainless steel appliances. The finish is also fingerprint-proof, which is a huge plus, keeping the exterior looking clean and smudge-free with minimal effort. Durability is another area where this trash can excels. It feels sturdy and well-built, capable of withstanding frequent use. The high-quality materials and construction give me confidence that this trash can will be a long-lasting fixture in my kitchen. The lid's smooth and silent operation is another aspect I appreciate. It opens and closes gently, preventing any loud banging noises that can be disruptive, especially in a busy household. This feature adds to the overall premium feel of the trash can. TL;DR: The simplehuman 40 Liter Slim Touch-Bar Kitchen Trash Can in Brushed Stainless Steel is an excellent investment for any kitchen. Its user-friendly touch-bar, space-saving design, elegant appearance, and durable construction make it a superior choice for waste management. This trash can is more than just a practical necessity; it's a stylish addition that enhances the functionality and aesthetic of the kitchen space. ... show more

  • Great can if dimensions, volume and appearance really matter!
Size: 40 Liter Slim Style: Trash Can
My husband and I recently downsized into a condo - while the kitchen is really logical, it isn't overly large. The previous owner had put a small garbage can in a lower cabinet, but as a dedicated amateur chef, that wasn't going to cut it. Partially because it was entirely too small, partially because it was on the opposite side of the kitchen from where I would be doing any prep work, but mostly because I needed the cabinet space. So the only logical place to leave a garbage can was a pass-through from one end of the kitchen into the main living area. It's not a huge pass-through, so I needed a narrow can. If pressed, I could put it in the very large pantry, but I preferred to leave it out so I wouldn't be touching the pantry door with dirty hands. So I needed a tall garbage can that was narrow and attractive, since it was going to be visible from where we hung out most of the time. And I also wanted it to have a slim profile so I could tuck the garbage can out of the way in the pantry if we had company - a lid was necessary to keep smells in hand. While there was a part of me that still can't believe I paid this much for a garbage can, I don't regret the purchase one bit. This is a very sturdy, well-balanced can, but it is not overly heavy. I can easily drag it around the kitchen if I need it elsewhere, and while some people here don't like the stay-open lid, I prefer that. I leave the lid open while I'm cooking, and then I can close it when I'm done and my hands are clean. Also, with a good lid that is firmly set onto the frame, your pets won't easily be able to knock the lid off to get into the garbage. (Though I'm sure a smart pet could figure out how to work the touch bar ;) ) I will say that the touch bar is nice, but if you have the can placed on a slick surface (so tile or linoleum) and it's not backstopped by a cabinet? Kneeing the touch bar will frequently just move the entire can instead of opening the lid. I'm sure this could be fixed by putting a small rug or a carpet-pad underneath, but I have yet to do that, since I move the can around quite a bit. It's a minor issue for me, the way I use the can, but something to consider if you know where you want to place the can. The lid is easy to lift off to replace the garbage bags/liners. You have to get the hang of placing the inner can on the interior supports to prop it up, but that's pretty easy. I also like how the inner can is easily removable for cleaning - much lighter and more flexible than the the entire can. The outer stainless steel can is fairly fingerprint resistant, but it's not a magical substance that repels all signs that a human ever touched it. But that being said, it wipes up really easily with whatever your preferred cleaner is. As others have noted, you don't have to use the simplehuman trash bags, which are a little more expensive. However I've chosen to use them (the "M" liner), and not just because they fit the can perfectly. We live in a building with a trash chute, and even when we super-stuff these bags (and they are pretty sturdy), they still easily fit in the trash chute. After seeing some of our neighbors struggle to fit their bags through the chute entry, we're happy to keep using these. They can be a little tight to fit and remove from the inner can, but you get the hang of that, too, and it does keep any food or other waste from getting in between the inner and outer can. So if you are a serious home cook and have a kitchen with a slender space for a trashcan? You really can't go wrong with this. I don't think I will ever need another trashcan - it is sturdy and attractive and is exactly what I needed for the smaller space I have. ... show more
