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

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.

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 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 .

I really needed a size that would work. I have two of the smaller single size step cans and I just don’t generate enough trash to take it out and it can become a problem. This can allows me to use the larger area for recycling and the small area for trash. You can certainly reverse this but I am not sure why you would do that, since recycling items are usually larger in size and amount. These cans are decorative and work well in my small open floor plan home.

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!

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!

I love my Simple Human! My mother-in-law has one the trashcans, so I knew that when it was time for me to get one, that I would also be getting Simple Human! I especially like how this trashcan has more space for recyclables. Recyclables are always bulky (wine bottles, boxes, fruit containers, etc), so this ratio of space for recyclables vs trash is perfect. In one week, my partner and I produce just enough trash and recyclables that both are exactly full at the end of the week. We compost so our trash never gets super smelly, but our friends who also have the same trashcan said that they love how the trash compartment is smaller so it forces them to take out the trash more frequently before it starts smelling.

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.

I have my garbage/recycling can now for about 1 month and I really love it. It is the best garbage can I ever owned. First when I saw it I was a bit shocked about the high price but it is worth to spend that much. The only thing I am a bit disapointed is the high price of the bags. The can operates very smoothly and the lid closes very quietly. There is more than enough space in the garbage and recycling size for a 2 people household. I am glad I bought this item.
