My other dual compartment simple human step can has a slot in the back for trash bags, this one does not and requires them to be stored separately which is not ideal. Also the lid is flimsier but the surface does a bette job of not showing fingerprints.

I was so excited for this trash can when ordering it, but my hatred for the tiny space for the actual trash has trumped it all. I love the larger space for the recycling but come on! We all need a little more space for the trash. We've only had it for 3 days and I'm already so beyond frustrated with this thing! I've had to take out the little trash just about every day and we only have one little one, I can't imagine a family of 4 or 5. I can't even empty out my vacuum canister without dirt getting everywhere because the canister is bigger than the tiny trash receptacle!

Love this. Used in my bedroom as a garbage cannon one side & storage in the other. Works great. Clean & classy looking. Because I sat it on carpet, I did have to level it for the lid to close all the way. Simple fix with some shims underneath. Lovely.

This is an amazing recycler! It is fingerprint friendly so you don't see smudges! Love the fact that the bins are different sizes. We use the 3/4 side for recyclables and the 1/4 side for plastic bags that cannot be recycled in our regular pick-ups but need to be returned to the grocery store.

I wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars because I really do love it. It’s just that I wish the garbage side of the pail was slightly bigger. Other than that, I love it. The recycle pail makes sense that it is bigger than the other side and it forces you to think twice about what we would be sending to a landfill and what should be recycled. The can over all was worth the price. Highly recommend. Easy to clean.

We love this trash can so much! We live in a 1br and our kitchen has a small eating area that was feeling overwhelmed by our trash/recycling setup. This can has streamlined everything and transformed the space. It is SO tidy and a pleasure to use. And it's so pretty! We tend to it like it's a sports car haha. The design is intuitive and convenient. It's expensive, but if you have the money, it's worth it.

It’s weird to actually LIKE a trash can, right? It’s no more than a receptacle for garbage. This thing is both beautiful and extremely well built. The lid opens smoothly, and it shuts whisper soft. Fingerprints? There are none. I don’t know what kind of witchcraft this thing is made with, but there are never any fingerprints on this beaut. When I bought it, I had zero intention of actually buying any more of the custom simplehuman trash bags. But, they’re just so perfect, and I’ve been able to get a few uses out of each one. I can’t believe I’m fawning over a trash can, but it’s really perfect.

This is our second simplehuman garbage can. I needed to downsize so we gave our large can to our daughter with her larger family. We love the new dual compartment one but don't understand why the larger blue recycling container takes the white H bags instead of the blue ones. It makes more sense to me to have the blue bags in the blue container and the white ones in the regular garbage container. Was a nurse for 45 years and think that it would have been more logical. Any reason for this? Otherwise I love the can and have more space. My daughter is enjoying our old, but like brand new can .

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 feel just silly, but I am in love with my trash can. I actually look forward to throwing away my trash and recyclables. Do you think there is a 12-step program for me? Seriously, staying tidy has never been so much fun. This can is exactly what I was looking for, and the price was reasonable compared to other brands I had looked at. At first, I was afraid the garbage compartment would be too small, but it is not, and trust me, I have a lot of garbage. You all calculated exactly what percentage of throw-away is garbage and what percent is recyclable. Very, very happy with this purchase.
