Finally had to replace my SimpleHuman can that I have had for decades because the soft close finally failed. Still opened fine, but I wanted a new one that did not show fingerprints. Love the wider opening - makes it very easy to empty my shredded paper without it spilling everywhere like it did with my old can. Do wish it was just a tab smaller in its circumference as I really have to stretch my Glad garage bags to get them on. I would buy SimpleHuman’s bags, but have a lot of Glad bags to use up first.

I love this trash can! So does my husband who was surprised at how much I spent on a trash can. No more opening a lid with messy hands and having to clean the lid. Plus it holds a lot of trash and is nice to look at. Now I wish I had gotten the voice activated one. Oh well, next time.

I don’t know where to begin yes I do. This is my second step can why second you think well that’s easy, my first one was stolen don’t ask A family member walked away with it when I wasn’t looking it’s a key in with them again forget the no touching the lint thing which is a huge bonus the plastic can they can put the liner in. Is extra protection. My garbage doesn’t smell and I don’t do anything extra for that no odor diffusers are anything like that it’s just a clean design easy to operate definitely an upgrade from plastic step cans and sheet metal step counts I know I will never come back and have thought about buying a spare trust me when I say if you buy this can you won’t fall in love with a more efficient clean way of dealing with your waste

We bought this to replace the circular, smaller simplehuman trash can, and I wish we'd got this one sooner! The larger opening is so much more convenient and we're actually using all the trash bag compared to before. Only complaint is that simplehuman is pretty expensive.

For the price you pay for this step can I think it needs tweaking. You’ll hear a lot of good things about it, and so far as I am able to see after several weeks of using it in my kitchen, I’ll agree with most. I’ll only talk about what needs improving. For one, the gap in the back for holding on and rolling it about on the 2 back wheels - it really hurts my fingers every time I attempt to do so. To be clear, I don’t have large hands. Additionally, the lid is extremely slim. I mean delicately thin, and it’s making me nervous about its longevity. Perhaps it was constructed thus so as to have less weight taxing the step mechanism. But it does appear rather flimsy. Then there’s the lock slider to keep the lid up while you manage the inner bucket or do lengthy tasks - it’s not as smooth to slide or use as I had anticipated. These points may not be a big deal for most and I am only mentioning to give you a comprehensive picture, in case you are on the fence, because it is quite an investment for an item one uses repeatedly everyday. Good luck!

Arrived quickly. Extremely well packaged, no dents or scratches. It has a very large opening so scraping scraps off a dinner plate goes right into the receptacle. Opens easily. Love the tilt the inner can does so you don’t have to remove the inner liner to remove or replace bag. A regular 13 gal bag fits tightly so no exposed bag. Love the sliding mechanism that keeps the lid open , if needed. Love that it resists finger smudges. Best trash can I have ever bought. Extremely satisfied.

Beautiful trash can! Common 13 gallon trash can liners very difficult to stretch , a real disappointment! I’ve ripped many bags trying to fit, as some cooking show experts reported Great can in kitchen to use, lid opens easily and open lock position is a nice option... Expensive but hope to use for many many years

Product arrived without a scratch. Looks and works like another stainless appliance. I put my old trash can outside 0n garbage day and none of the scrappers bothered. I also put the simple human box out there and it was gone in minutes. That box was so heavy duty it could be used as an end table

This is more than just a simple trash can, it is a well designed and masterfully constructed waste container. Simple Human has thought of everything you could possibly want and engineered it into this container. On top of that, it is sleek and quite. It is truly years ahead of other waste container design. I would highly recommend the investement.

We've had the 50L step can for ten years and last month we moved to a new house we bought. During the move the can was damaged and the new one is a little bit different with a blue interior can instead of black. The original can had a lock to keep the lid open by opening the lid very wide and the lock released with a gentle tap on the foot pedal. The new one must be manually locked, otherwise it's the same and we are very pleased to have a functional stylish can.
