This garbage pail is easy on the eyes and very convenient. It fits perfect in our kitchen and it opens and closes super easy. It has a lock that will keep it open for when changing bags and the glad fit in to them as well as the bed bath and beyond bags. Love it!

I looked around for trash cans for some time and finally decided on the Simplehuman 50l can. The quality is okay, however, I am very disappointed that my 13 gal. trash bags do not fit (actually, not even close)! This claim that the can accepts standard 13 gal bags was the final selling point for me after seeing the confirming review on America's test kitchen, in which they stated that it was one of their major criteria in judging the value of the trash cans. I am not happy with the idea that I now have to spend more money on special bags to use the can, I wanted to avoid this.

The conventional 13-gallon trash bags that you buy retail have a tough time fitting inside this trash can, although it is advertised as 50L = 13 gallons. It should be advertised as requiring a 13.2 gallon size, which they don't make. As a result, for a proper fit, you're forced to buy Simplehuman's trash bags, which are real expensive. You have to really stretch the bag on all 4 corners of the trash can when you replace it, while running the risk of the bag ripping by doing so. It's harder putting on than taking off. Other than this issue, I'm satisfied with the trash can overall, so far.

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

Love the large capacity and sleek design of this trash can. It matches our appliances perfectly. My only complaint would be that the lid is offset so it makes an audible bang when closing. Therefore it’s not a silent close as advertised unless I arrange the bag to compensate.

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

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!)

I bought this because one of my favorite personalities from America’s Test Kitchen recommended it and I was not disappointed. 30 gallon trash bags fit perfectly in it, it’s easy to clean and it looks stylish in any kitchen. Well worth the money b/c I will never have to buy another trash can again. Great investment.

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.

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.
