Love this, great quality! Looks great and lid closes quietly. Bins are easy to remove.

Good product

Not practical

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

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.

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 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.

I love this product as in encourages us to recycle more than we throw away. That is because the compartment for trash is much smaller than the one for recyclables. The only thing I don’t like about this is that it’s poorly designed. For a company that seems to only hire industrial designers who are former art center car designers and require a masters degree, I guess I expected more from the design. This clearly shows in their product and it’s lack sense when it comes to a user friendly approach. The cans are not a universal configuration, that’s the first annoyance, second is that there are no great handles to hold each can by, making it a very annoying product when taking out the garbage. Besides that, it does have a nice aesthetic when it comes to the step on the bottom. However, all the random form development seems a bit fussy and unnecessary.

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!

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.
