Very good trashcan
by AnneG 08/28/2016
I have a very narrow space, right against a cabinet for the trash can and a nosey, thieving cat.
This trash can fits right up against the cabinet, holds a couple days of trash, and closes so the cat cannot get in to it. It really is fingerprint proof, too. He jumps on it occasionally, but the lid is sturdy enough he cannot get into it, as long as he doesn't step on the peddle.
I gave it 4 stars because I've only had this can for a little over a month and because it is very expensive. If it holds up, I'll up to 5 stars.

loving 45 litre
by wadeI 08/28/2016
We have thoroughly enjoyed the 45 litre, butterfly step can, it works so smoothly, the bags we ordered work perfectly with the can. It usually handles a week of garbage without emptying, couldn't be happier.
Thank you

45 L Trash
by DougH 08/12/2016
Hard to believe I spent this amount for a trash can, but it works. My female Vizsla has not retrieved anything from this trash can and it is now sitting at the end of our island, rather than the pantry. The size is great and works well. If you want to solve the issue of a pet getting into the trash or just have something stylish, this is it.

The best step can
by EdwardS 07/24/2016
For years, we had another Simple Human step can with a black lid. For whatever reason, it invited our guests and teen-aged children to hit the pedal too hard. The lid was often knocked off its hinges. Plus, the black plastic was hard to keep clean. This model has no such shortcomings. The lid is seemingly immune to abuse and it stay shiny and clean much longer. Plus, the bags are easier to change thanks to the feature that allows the inner can to be partially lifted and tilted. Very well designed.

Couldn't be happier
by ElizabthC 07/15/2016
We love the simplehuman butterfly step can! It is sleek and streamlined and looks lovely in our newly refurbished kitchen. The 45 liter is the perfect size.
We definitely would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new kitchen trash can.
Very pleased!

Expensive, but worth every penny so far!!!
by ShaneS 06/20/2016
At first I was blown away by the price of this trash can. Can a trash can really cost this much? I was drawn to it for several reasons. It was the exact size I needed, and the foot pedal was on the end opposed to the side. I could not find any other can like it. If I wanted this can I had no choice but to pay for it. That being said, I would not have paid the money if the reviews had not been so high. After receiving it, it was everything as advertised. My wife loves it. Easy to use. Easy to change out regular trash bags. We love everything about it. I still can't believe I spent this much on a trash can, but if you have the money to spend do it!

Pricey but AWESOME!!
by ToriZ 03/02/2016
I bought this out of desperation to keep my dog out of the trash. It works great, he can't figure it out. It wipes clean, no streaks and it looks much nicer than our old one. Now I am considering bathroom sized ones since his attention has now turned to them ,lol.

We have 2
by TimD 02/16/2016
We loved the first one (Trash) so much, we picked up a second (Recycling) one. They don't take up a lot of space and with the butterfly opening top, it is so easy to use and doesn't slide across the floor like every other trash receptical we have ever had! Love IT! I really hesitated at the price initially.....$150 is a lot for a trashcan.....never thought I would ever pay that for a trashcan let alone twice that for 2! :-D The 10 year warranty is what swayed us to purchase the first one and the quality, slim design and ease of use is why we bought the second.

45 litre butterfly step can
by DagmarW 03/11/2015
I am very happy with this purchase. It is a bit expensive but my dog can't get in to it at all. It is also stylish and looks good and clean in the kitchen. I don't like that you have to buy trash can liners to fit from simple human. I am still on a search for liners that fit.

I Love this garbage can!
by LaurieZ 02/18/2015
I originally purchased this garbage can to prevent my Great Dane from being able to open it and make a mess. It worked great for 9 years and looks sleek as well. I contacted the company regarding their 10 year warranty--and NO PROBLEM---they sent me a prepaid shipping sticker and replaced it! As a consumer advocate, I am impressed that a company honored its warranty without a fuss--they actually did the right thing and made it easy to replace. I highly recommend SimpleHuman! Great Value, Great Warranty, and GREAT customer service!!!!

45 Litre Butterfly Step Can
by PauletteS 01/16/2015
I originally started with the 30 litre butterfly. It stopped closing correctly and simplehuman sent me parts to replace. When this didn't work, I decided to upgrade to the 45 litre. This can is amazing. I don't fill it up as quickly and it looks wonderful in my kitchen. Customer service was wonderful about trying to fix my problem with the 30 litre and then refunding my purchase price for the 30 litre when I purchased the 45 litre. Nowadays who gives a ten year warranty and excellent customer servivce? I am a simplehuman for life.

Nice upgrades...
by LaurenG 09/18/2014
We had our first butterfly step can in black for over 10 years and it served us well. I would have kept it, despite the obvious wear and tear, if I had been able to get a replacement part. But maybe it's better this way... I like the tilting feature so I don't have to lift the interior part out to change the bag. (I just use regular kitchen garbage bags, not simplehuman brand.) And being able to hold the top open without stepping on it is very convenient. For the price, if it lasts us another 10 years I will be ecstatic. Great product.

We just replaced our 10 year old Simple Human Spring lid garbage can. The grandchildren had been a bit hard on the spring. Their dad fixed it, but it was harder to use. We love the butterfly-soft close lid! Great idea Simple Human!

Great product, great customer service
by WalterH 08/29/2014
This is a product with a flawless design and performance. Everything about it works as we would like it. What is additionally impressive is that we bought the previous model some 10 years ago and after hard use (and still looking great) a part broke that was no longer available. With no documentation we were sent a brand new one at no cost to us including mailing costs. This is an expensive product but a great value.

I will always have a simple human can! They have awesome garbage cans which they also stand behind their products. I had a problem with my can that I purchased from them within my ten year warranty they let me exchange my can for the next model up because they no longer had my model. Terrific customer service. Thanks you simple human from a very satisfied customer!!!

Simply the best
by AlexS 05/23/2014
I've been have Simple Human step cans for more than 8 years. I had the previous model that used a different mechanism and did break a couple of times (I believe thanks the "delicate" handling of my neanderthal son when changing the bags). However behind the great product Simple Human has an awesome customer services. The first time my can broke, about 5 years after purchase, they sent me a replacement part free, along with instructions to easily replace it. On the second time the product had been already discontinued so they sent me a brand new can, that uses the new system with a piston, much more resistant to fails. If you buy BMW, Tumi, The North Face, All Clad, etc. your brand is Simple Human.

45 Litre butterfly step can
by FrankR 03/20/2014
Can a garbage can be good looking? The answer is a resounding "yes." This is an extremely well made and durable garbage can. We especially like the sleek style because it fits perfectly in the space we needed it to fit. Also, we love the fact that fingerprints do not show on the brushed stainless steel. Lastly, the warranty offered by simple human is superb.

Butterfly Step Can
by KyleM 08/07/2013
I've had this can for about a month now and love it more everyday. The silent lid is great and I've had no problem using standard 13 gallon trash bags. The latches to keep the lid open are also great when you're changing the bag or cleaning up after a party or company.

It seems silly to get excited about a trash can, but when I moved I had to have a new one - stainless. It looks nice sitting out by the cabinet and holds everything, no doors to open just step on the foot lever. I can't imagine my kitchen without one of these trash cans!

LOVE IT!!!!
by AngelaM 03/19/2013
Bought 1 because we were in need of a "dog proof" garbgage can and it had the best reviews for this type of problem. We now own 2! Each worth every penny spent just to come home every day not to find garbage strewn around the house. Will never buy any other brand again! Closes quietly. Works smoothly. Wipes clean and stays clean with minimal fingerprints/smudges. The removable inner bucket is great! Makes cleaning a breeze. Absolutely LOVE the stay open feature...use it daily while doing chores or a lot of cooking. Would love a small one for our bathrooms.

The Most Wonderful Product
by HarryS 02/09/2013
We purchase two (2) 45-L Butter-Fly units for our new home. One (1) for trash and one(1) for re-cycling.
The ease of use with the step-on opening and the slowwww closing top doors is great.
The units fit under the overhang of the counter-top and allow us to put items in without having to pull out
from underneath. This is a FIVE STAR Product.

by karenM 10/15/2012
Very pleased with this product - stylish and practical, it fits perfectly in the space under the kitchen counter. I was also very impressed with
Customer Service. Prior to placing my order I had a query about the bin bags recommended for this bin. Whilst the person I spoke to didn't immediately know the answer, the query was soon resolved by the Ops Director, who was contacted for an answer during my initial call. Very efficient service!

Dog proof trash can
by KimberlyC 09/07/2012
I have been looking for a kitchen trash can that was BEAGLE PROOF! I have definitely found it with your trash can. It looks nice in my kitchen, it is easy to keep clean and best of all my Beagle can't knock it over or open up the top. The butterfly design is ingenious! Not only does this design keep him out, I'm pretty sure it keeps most of the scent from escaping. He doesn't seem to notice if we put items in the trash can that would normally cause him to be sniffing in the air trying to figure out where it is located. I would highly recommend this trash can to all dog owners! Thanks to Simple Human, I no longer have a problem of my dog getting into the trash! One less worry on my plate. Thank you!

Sleek Trash Can
by WendyC 09/03/2012
This is my second trash can like this. Love the elongated style, fits great at end of kitchen counter and looks good too. The hydrolic quiet closing of the lid is great, no clanking shut. The first one I had, the hydrolics on the lid did wear out after about 8 years, and after nine years one of the lid flaps wouldn't shut correctly. But I liked it enough to purchase another new one. There is a ten year warranty, so this time I have saved the warranty paperwork in case it wears out early again. A trash can is not something that guests would typically comment on; however, this is an attractive trash can, the butterfly lid flaps are unusual, and the trash can always draws compliments!

Love this Trash Can!
by ValerieB 08/16/2012
I researched this trashcan and found favorable reviews, so I bought it. When I received it, I thought, "Ok, I don't see what all the fuss is."
Initially the lid didn't close all the way and that perturbed me. But after a day of thinking that I got a raw deal, I closely looked at the can and found that it does not work well on thick carpet (which it was on). Once I fixed it by putting a solid piece under it...I found Heaven!
The lid closes perfectly. It is in the kitchen and is used constantly. It is the perfect size. If you forgot to order trash bags from simplehuman, no problem...tall garbage bags bought at any store works too. I also love the "tilt" feature for taking the bag out and putting the new one in...genius. It is the perfect size, shape, and color. If I ever need another one, I will definitely come to simplehuman! I don't know what it is, but I love this trashcan!!!

NOT for under-counter use
by JohnM 07/04/2012
My 18-year old under-counter trash compactor died and I pulled it out and wanted a trash can to go under the counter in that cabinet slot. Every can on the market but this one had a single flip-up lid which when opened, was too tall to fit under the granite. Either that, or those other butterfly cans had to be oriented sideways for the motion detector to activate the butterfly lid and therefore wouldn’t fit in my 15 inch wide slot. This can fits the 15" wide cabinet hole perfectly, is absolutely silent, and does seal in trash odors by the perfection of fit between the two lid halves. Though I haven’t tried an electronic opening can I think I prefer the manual pedal because I can open it more quickly than first waving my hand and waiting for the mechanism; I just step and throw. The lids silently close pretty soon after opened, so odors stay in the can. I wouldn’t change a thing about that part of the design. Looks, function, ergonomics; it’s all there.
What this can needs though is an optional accessory wheel trolley with a lever to push the wheels down, thus lifting the can off the ground. When this can is full it can not be slid without some serious scraping across our floor tile, so I have to put one hand on either side and clamshell-lift the whole can bodily out of the under-cabinet slot. It's pretty tough job for a man, and my wife simply can't do it. I'd happily pay another $40 for an accessory lever-lift wheel dolly but since that isn't offered I have to continue straining my shoulders and back when this LARGE capacity can gets full. I love that capacity, the quiet lid motion, the contoured stainless look, the low-profile sloped pedal shape, etc - everything. It just needs wheels which can be pushed down when you have to move it.
