Simpli-Magic 16 Gallon (60L) Open Top Trash Can – Round Commercial Trash Can – Smudge-Resistant, Easy to Clean, Non-Skid Base, Plastic (2 Pack)

I’ve been using this 16-gallon open-top trash can for a while now, and overall it’s a solid choice for both home and light commercial use. The combination of a stainless steel top with a black plastic base gives it a modern, clean look that fits well in kitchens, offices, or shared spaces. One of the biggest advantages is the open tops design, it makes throwing things away quick and hassle-free, especially when your hands are full. There’s no lid to deal with, which is great for convenience but also means odors can escape more easily, so you’ll want to empty it regularly. The stainless steel upper section looks great and resists fingerprints fairly well, keeping it looking clean with minimal effort. The black plastic base is lightweight and durable, and it helps prevent floor scratches. Capacity-wise, 16 gallons is ideal for medium to heavy use. It holds a good amount of trash without needing constant emptying, making it practical for busy households or workplaces.

I’ve gone through so many trash cans with foot pedals that snap after a month or sensors that just stop working. I finally gave up and bought this open-top 2-pack, and I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It’s so much easier when you’re scraping a plate or have your hands full of raw chicken—you just toss it in. It’s a 16-gallon, so it’s slightly bigger than the standard kitchen size, which is great because I’m not emptying it every five minutes. The stainless steel actually stays looking clean thanks to the smudge-resistant finish, and it doesn't slide around on my hardwood. I highly recommend these bins.
