Simpli-Magic 80 Liter / 21 Gallon Dual Compartment Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Hands-Free Foot Pedal, Built-In Odor Filter, Silver Recycling Bin (40L plus 40L)

I received the Simply Magic 80 Liter / 21 Gallon Dual Compartment Step Trash Can with Soft Lid in Stainless Steel complimentary for my honest review. I am very impressed with the quality and durability of this product! It comes preassumbled which I love. I just took it out of the box and it was ready to use. This is a major plus. The exterior is stainless steel and is very sturdy. I really like that is has dual compartments. It comes with visible stickers for trash and recycling to help guests know how to use each side. It also has color coded bins in green and blue to help you keep track. We had two seperatw bins before for our trash and reclycing. It was cumbersome and took up more space. Having this all in one has made a big difference in ease of use and space in our kitchen. The bins come out very easily and are light weight. Anyone can take these out easily which I also appreciate. They fit standard trash bags as well it was very easy to convert over. One of my favorite features is the added storage for filters in each lid. We added carbon filters to each side and it has really helped with absorbing ordors and keep things fresh! I also like the foot padel to keep use hands free as well as the easy soft close lid. It's nice and quiet. We have fully transitioned to using this in our home and we could not be happier!

Overall, it's a solid for the price (usually sitting around $140), it offers a lot of the high-end looks of a simplehuman setup without the massive price tag, and is pretty sturdy! The Pros: Unlike smaller dual cans that give you a tiny recycling side, It easily holds a few days' worth of family trash and recycling without needing constant emptying. The brushed stainless steel finish actually does a great job of resisting fingerprints and grease, making it easy to just wipe down when you're cleaning up the kitchen. The foot pedals feel robust, and the soft-close lids are completely silent—no loud banging or slamming. It features a compartment inside the lid for an odor-neutralizing pack, which genuinely helps keep things smelling fresh. The Cons: Finding standard, off-the-shelf trash bags that fit the tall, narrow internal liners perfectly can be a bit annoying. Standard 13-gallon kitchen bags work, but you have to stretch them tightly over the rims or deal with excess bag bunching up. Because it holds a combined 21 gallons, it takes up a decent amount of real estate against the wall or at the end of an island.
