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.

Unfortunately the garbage section of this can is too small. In simple terms the "mouth" of the area for regular garbage is too small and makes it difficult to "throw away" trash easily. The garbage area is long (HT) and narrow so a good deal of space is wasted when you throw away larger items. The larger items block smaller items to go past them. You end up with what I will call a lot of "air pockets" In general I LOVE simplehuman garbage cans. This particular one is not practical or functional.

Ok I am weird- I snapped a picture of my trash can and sent it to the kitchen designer that just finished up our project. Fits in so well with my European style kitchen. One big surprise- holds SO much more than I thought it would.You will not go wrong with this choice and go ahead and get the liners. Keeps everything tidy looking!

Had a Simple Human step can for 20 years, and recently the lid hinge broke. So I replaced it with the dual compartment step can, and am loving it so far. Hope it is the same superb quality that Simple Human made 20 years ago. FYI, I have another 20 yr old SH step can still functioning as good as when new!

Not really thrilled with this can. It's way smaller then I expected so we switched using the left for trash and right side for recycle. Now right side is too small for recycling. Overall the can is just so small for either. At this point wish I could return and get a different size.

This can fits right in to my newly remodeled kitchen. I love it. My husband loves the wheels on it since he always drags the garbage over to kitchen sink when he's cutting up food. If I had to say one bad thing about it, it would be the steel on the can by the pedal is flimsy and I could see this getting dented easily.

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.

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.

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.
