I compared all the specs of all the recycler cans before deciding to purchase this trash can. I really love that the recycling side is so big (I believe it's the largest one, at 30L capacity). I produce very little trash, so the right trash side being so small is great for me. The step feels sturdy and the can lid does lower slowly and smoothly. I love the lock feature that allows it to stay fully open when needed for emptying its contents. It did arrive with a dent in the stainless steel outer part of it, but I just smoothed it back out from the inside and the imperfection is not visible where I'm keeping the can, so I didn't bother to contact them for a replacement during these times of the pandemic. I'm using the custom liners for the trash side, and just wiping out the recycling side with a rag and diluted vinegar when it happens to get dirty. It's so easy to clean and take care of, and makes my kitchen look more streamlined. I love it!

The design and ease of the compartments are great the seamless fit of the bags is impressive . Unfortunately the Steel is not as tough as I thought. My toddler hit it with a soft plastic golf club and dented It on the curved part which should be the strongest area. I’ve learned to ignore that dent. Otherwise it’s a good product

I wish the two compartments were the same size, the trash side is too small and the recycle is huge. Thought about using the larger compartment for trash but the smaller one can barely take a lettuce box and a couple of cans. Ended up selling it to a friend and bought a different one, which I have some thoughts on as well..

I can't believe I have strong feelings about a trash bin but here we are.bI wanted a sleek looking dual compartment bin and that's what I got! The bins come out easily and it opens and closes quietly. It looks great in my kitchen and I'd buy it again.

I was excited about this can as I have a small kitchen and don’t have enough room for two separate cans. However, the recycle compartment is smaller than I had expected. I tried using the recycle side for my garbage, but the recycle bags are not strong for garbage. With today’s need for more recycling, I wish the compartments were at least of equal size.

This is our second simplehuman trash can, the recycle trash step combo is just the solution we needed. Sleek functional and practical keeps everything nice and neat and out of sight. We love the step concept keeps my cooking hands free. Thanks for a great product!

The dual compartments are super cool, but I wish they were more equal in size instead of such a small trash side. Also, it would be really helpful if there were an embossed "Recycle" symbol on the lid to identify the recycling bin side -- people are confused and keep putting trash in the recycling.... a simple recycle symbol sticker would even help, but it doesn't come with anything like that. Overall, it's a great product and I'm very happy to have it in my home. It looks nice, is easy to clean, and the soft-close lid is awesome!

Our last dual compartment can (different model - butterfly open/equal size compartments) was damaged in our recent military PCS. The 46L that we chose to replace it is great - the larger recycling side has made it much more functional for how we sort trash. Plus the relatively compact profile, the smooth open and close, and the easy to clean surface are all wonderful features! We added decals to the lid to designate trash/recycling for visitors, which was a confusion point with our last can. Looks stylish and is very functional in our kitchen.

This is the best good looking trashcan I owned in my entire life. Easy to maintain and clean. My only suggestion would be of having some kinda solution for the bad odour that spreads in the room even if we open the lid for just recycle trash. May be a scent pouch holder or a slim extra lid only for the regular trash.

Our first trash can came with a dimple or bump in the it and I called and you sent out a new one. And told us to keep the old one which was very nice. The second one came with two dents or bumps in it. And the lid on the trash can will not go all the way up unless you push it.
