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!

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 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..

Love the size of this model, as our recycling takes up way more space than our garbage side. The color and stainless steel does not leave prints, and I have a toddler so that was aways an issue before. My only complaint is about the garbage bags, they are not very durable as one came apart while taking it out of the can. But other than that I love this dual model and would def recommend! Just plan on using off brand bags :) The close feature is also great, I prefer way better than the sensor one!!

Too small. I want to return it.
