Like this trash/recycle can very much

If you have more recycling than trash, this is the perfect can

Not practical

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..

When I first thought about purchasing the Simplehuman kitchen can, I wasnt sure I wanted to spend the extra money. I had no idea the difference a kitchen trash can could make. The Simplehuman can is attractive and efficient. My old plastic can was bothersome ugly and inefficient. The Simplehuman can is an addition to my kitchen, and is incredibly efficient. It is sturdy, functions smoothly, silently. I could not be more satisfied with the purchase, and happy I invested the extra money in a top quality can.

I was looking for a trash can with dual compartments for recycling and trash. This model is very good, not great. Ideally, for my purposes, it could use a little bit larger trash compartment. The can looks great, and functions flawlessly thus far. My biggest issue with the product is that for the trash compartment; it requires specialized bags, which are not cheap. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.

Overall it's a good trash can. I think I'm probably out of my mind for paying that much for a trash can, but we'll see if the warranty makes it worthwhile. FYI, I paid a third of the cost for one that had an electric lid, that still worked after 4 years, but for whatever reason my husband had trouble getting it to open for him. Anyway, not the point, I LOVE that I have a bigger bin for recycling and a smaller one for regular trash. We try and recycle as much as possible which means we have a larger volume, so a bigger recycling bin is great. Also, I don't like having stinky trash around for a long time, so a smaller trash bin allows me to take it out more often. I also love that the bins come out independently. The only problem I have is the lid doesn't really close flush, which attracts fruit flies. Not big enough that they get in, but still a problem.

Love love love this the dual trash can! I considered getting the larger version (58L I think?) but chose the smaller model instead to fit my 1br apartment. This trash can is great for single people, I don’t think it would be good for a family. The trash side is the smaller, which for just me takes about a week to fill up, in larger trash cans it would take longer and then start to get stinky. When my partner is over and helping me cook it fills up in a few days. I think this trash can would be best for singles or maybe a couple if you switched the trash side to the larger recycler. I love having everything in one can, no more unsightly paper recycling bag on the floor

I got this for my parents two years ago. It’s still in great condition, looks very nice in their kitchen, and they love it! I like that I was asked for a review two years later; that usually means that the company is confident in the quality of their product! The compatible garbage bags are too expensive, so they use regular bags, which works just fine.
