Beautiful addition to my kitchen

This is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. The easy open foot pedal with lid inside of can, keeps all animals or kids out of refuse. The only issue is it does close more slowly than most when my large pup wants item that I don't want her to have. I would recommend to anyone who has small children or pets.

Huge, but good quality

This thing is really big, and the pedals and lids work great. The trash side with the blue can is somewhat differently sized from a typical kitchen trash can, as the pictures show. It's taller and shaped more like a square. The recycling side is best for small things like cans. Large things like milk cartons will fill it up really fast. I have had no problems with odors escaping, but I also empty it quite regularly.

Perfect!

This garbage can is amazing. It’s heavy. It does not feel cheap at all. I love the fact that the lids you can push with your feet and they don’t slam down. They’re the slow clothes lid and you can also put an air freshener in the lid so none of your trash will stink.!! And I love the fact that it’s half trash and half recycle!!!

Nice, simple trash & recycling can.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this more so when I accidentally dropped it trying to remove it from the box. I fully expected to see a damaged corner but other than a minor scrape, no damage was noticeable. Very convenient to have both trash & recycling next to each other but also controlled by separate foot pads. I also appreciate the odor control holders on the inside of the lid. All in all a nicely built & good looking trash can.

Awesome kitchen trash can

Love this trash can so far! The trash side is just as a big as a single kitchen trash can which is great. The lids open so nicely and the soft close is wonderful with two kids! I like the option for the filters and that the individual bins can be taken out to be cleaned, another major win with two kids! The only negative i have is the fingerprints will need to be cleaned all the time, but would definitely still buy again.

Nice dual can bin

We are so far very happy with this dual can. The build is sturdy. It's well made. The handles on the side are nice. The "bins" inside are good size. I purposely tried smudging it with no left behind marks. This is a solid piece. The slow close works beautifully, pedals are easy to step for it to open. You have separate pedals per side. I don't know what else to say except i wish i could have picked a different color to go with out kitchen as i only had one choice, but overall we love this dual can do far.

Good trash can, just a couple flaws

Let me start by this is a very good looking trash can. Its stainless appearance is very nice, and its build quality is really good. I cant give 5 stars because of 2 flaws in my opinion. First is the lack of way to hold your bags in. They added a hole at the top but it doesnt really help hold the bag. I feel either a top retaining ring or add another hole you could loop the bag through would have helped. The 2nd downside is pulling the blue bin out there is a tab to hold what i assume is some filter? Not sure no instructions or explanation. That tab catches the blue bin every time you go to pull it out. All in all it is a solid 2 bin trash can that looks very good. With that i give it a 4 star review because of those minor flaws.

Sleek design but bulky

The dual trash can looks good in the kitchen. It has two compartments for regular and recycling trash. The stainless steel outside give it a slick look. However, it is a bit bulky and to replace the trash bags, the plastic inner bins have to be removed. Also, when it inner bins are taken out, they often stuck in the plastic cover undernead the lid.

Dual garbage can

I really like the concept and will be making good use out of it. The speed of the closing is great. And the unit looks great. I also like having the stickers to show what’s what. My problem is what size of bags should be used fore each bin? They are different sizes. Also the design has space for filters, but no filters were included

Simpli Magic 18.5 gallon trash & recycling can

I really like this trash can, but it’s simply not for me. The quality is very nice. I love the idea of recycling, but I don’t really do it that much. The design is where the problem is for me, because the trash bag is hard to get in there and it constantly falls down inside the can.
