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.

The whole unit has become dented from very little force. The contraption on the inside that opens and closes the lid has failed. So the lid closes on its own but doesn’t completely seal. I would expect a company of this size to send me a full replacement free of charge.

Absolutely love this trash can! The quality is amazing and the soft close lid is great! The first one did come damaged, but I was able to get a replacement quickly and ship the damaged item back. Customer service was great! We also bought a smaller version to use as a recycle bin. They look great in our kitchen. So many compliments, I know, on trash cans!

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

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.

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.

Last one (purchased in 2007) just died last month (2021), after heavy usage all during that time. Well worth the price, though, for it's durability and sleek design! Wish all products were made this well! (And I'd even like to try to fix the old, broken one if it's a simple fix... foot pedal no longer opens the lid. But the old can also still looks too good to toss!)

Ok, I didn’t pay enough attention when I ordered the 50L can; as a result, I was so surprised at how large it was! Not a problem! simplehuman was happy for me to return it and I ordered the 38L after reviewing the dimensions. It is perfect, the 13 gallon garbage bag is fully utilized instead of being only about 2/3 full when tossed out. The foot pedal sticks out a bit farther than it did on my old can so it’s actually easier to access, great! It’s a beautiful and well made can, quiet and smooth in operation. We are super happy - so Thank You simplehuman for your attention to detail and quality. You can be proud!!

Bought this same trash can about 20 years ago. It got a small dent in the side when I moved so I decided to get a new one. Lucky for me they still had the same style. Very good quality!!! The new one will probably out live me, lol. I love all their products 😍

But I’m glad I did! It’s very solid & no matter what you put in it, the lid closes so securely that no odor escapes. The step lever still works perfectly after two years of use, the mechanism to prop the lid open is handy, and regular kitchen trash bags from the grocery store will fit, although it’s tight. I would even say it looks elegant in the kitchen. I expect this can will last & look good for many years to come.
