After 5 bins in 3 years....fancy dan sensor ones, glittery push top and a really old Brabantia, I think I've found the perfect bin. Simple is as simple does, nice looking, great size, fits against the wall, sturdily built but effective with no bells and whistles, as they say 'it does what it says on the tin'. I won't be buying anything but your products from here on out. A free pack of 10 liners as well!! What more could a person want. Excellent, reliable, great product.

The old ones top had failed and the whole can had to be replaced. I got tis one and it works great. Just sad to recycle a $100 can for the sake of a little plastic part failure. Mike

This trash can was exactly what we needed. Size is perfect. We use one in the office kitchen and bathrooms. After 2 years we had a problem with a lid, but I went online and ordered a new lid for free as it was still under the 5 year guarantee. Just make sure to keep your receipt. I'm really satisfied and after sales service is great!

Like it. Simple, clean. easy to use and empty

The warranty for your products is "unbeatable".....great trash can ....even greater customer service. thank you

I have a 75 lb dog that is awesome and super obedient, when I'm home. When I'm gone he loves to eat off the counters and get into the trash. I had a trash can with a simple step-can lid, and he would nose it open adn eat whatever he could reach. With this can, he can't get into the trash even if he dumps it over, unless it is pretty full. When it is mostly full, if he tips it over the lid pops open, even with the lock still in tact. Bonus to this trash can - guests are ALWAYS stumped as to how to open the trash lol

This trash can has successfully cured my very motivated beagle from stealing trash. THANKS!

We first bought this model five or six years ago. It was an awesome can then and worked great for us for many years. The pedal finally broke a month ago. We immediately looked to buy another one because it is that good. Easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to get very full bags out of.

love this trash can --it is made of high quality materials, easy to clean, quiet, and the company's customer service dept is right here I the USA!!!! Yay! it's a great company -- they really honor the five year warranty!

I love the fact that you can open the can with your foot, however, after so many times of using the can it starts to lean over. The back of the can starts to rise off the ground and the can is leaning forward. the metal bar in the back does nothing but rub against the wall and make a mark. Wish the can could just stay put flat on the floor.

This is the perfect can for our deck. It doesn't fill with water because of the tight fitting lid. Just love it!

Absolutely the best trash can I have ever owned.

The step can was exactly as advertised. We've only had it about 2 months but are very happy to date. The minimal increase in price between department store cans and this can is worth it.

Got this to replace an oval, roll top plastic trash receptacle that served us well for years. It needed replacing but could not find another like it in local stores. Having no luck finding the same or similar type online, came upon this one and decided to give it a try. With the flat back, it fits perfectly at the end of the kitchen counter. Step peddle & self closing lid are a welcome plus. It was more than I intended to pay for a trash can but it seems very well made and I am happy to support "made in America"!

This is a great product love the space saving I get with the squared off back end. Fits very neatly in my very small kitchen!

Totally worth the money just to not have to worry about my dog getting into the trash. Works great.

I've had it for a few weeks now - so far, so good. Holds plenty, regular 13 gallon tie bags work great. The lid closes slowly and smoothly.

We love this trash can, especially the locking feature with kids! Although the pedal broke in just 2 years. I tried to glue the pedal back together but it doesn't work. I've even bragged to my friends about this trash can. :(

we bought this particular trash can because it locks. We have a 70lb. dog that loves to raid the trash while we sleep, so that is mainly what prompted our decision to buy it. I'm a nurse so the hands free pedal was a plus, until it broke after having it only7 months. we bought it in May 2013, I'm disappointed that for the money we spent, it broke so soon. Now we have to lift the lid with our hands and that is just yuck! want to buy another one, but afraid the same thing will happen.

First, one piece of the pedal broke--happened after 9 months of use. It still worked but then, of course, the other connection point on the other side broke, too. So, in about 18 months, the pedal no longer worked and you had to open the cover with your hand. Yuck. I did love it while it worked, though...

I wanted a good trash can and this seemed like it was perfect,needlessto say it is pretty damn good.The only con I can say is price,but you get over that pretty quick.I like how the lid doesn't slam down.

Don't have to touch the lid, step to open, closes on own.

This trash can is great and is a high quality product. I am partial to stainless so wondered about the plastic but it is a deep black with stainless handle and step bar that look very nice. The self closing and hands-free features are a real plus and work very nicely. Keeps the dog out of the garbage and also keeps fingerprints off of the lid. The free bags that came with it are heavy duty, however, bags from the store fit just as nicely. I have no complaints of this product. My boyfriend is looking to buy one now.

I got it to replace a Walmart square plastic can with swinging door lid that turned out to be a piece of junk. I had 2 of those, and the lids broke on both. The Simplehuman 50 liter black plastic can works perfectly so far, and it looks good out in my kitchen. I especially like the ability to open the lid with my foot when both hands are full, but I'm also glad that it is easy to open with my hand and that you can make the lid stay open when necessary. A 13 gallon "tall kitchen garbage bag" fits just fine. However, the ones with strap ties built in work better than the ones where you just tie flaps to close them ("simple tie" style), as the flaps tend to show from under the lid when it is closed. I have not tried the Simplehuman brand bags yet, but I'm sure they will work great as well.

this is a great trash can. i had it in white, but when i moved, i just had to get it in black to better match my new kitchen. it keeps my little boy out of the garbage but is still easy to open for me. had the white one for 2+ years and now use it as a spare in the garage and still holds up great!

PROS: I absolutely love the look of this pail! It's not like the cheap pails you see at HomeDepot or Target it has a textured finish, so fingerprints and smudges are resistant. It's very "SIMPLE" to keep clean. My Stainless was a nightmare to keep clean and if it wasn't polished, looked like garbage (no pun intended)! The stainless steel accents make it look so much better then your average black pail! By all means, it is not cheap looking at all! It may be slightly more then the pails you find at your local retail stores, but remember the old adage: "You get what you pay for!" This trash can is VERY well made & will probably last for decades!! The lock will definitely keep your pets or little hands from getting inside! It's a great feature for piece of mind! This is one looks great especially since all stainless steel appliances have black around them, this one matches perfectly without making it the center of attention! The shape is different and gives it that contemporary appeal! It's absolutely the best pail I've ever owned! Cons: The ONLY problem I have with this pail... Store bought pail liners barely fit and can come undone if not placed in just right! I feel Simplehuman does this on purpose to market their own trash liners. Which is a bit sneaky in my book and they're way to pricey when compared to store purchased liners. A stand-up company would warn you of this BEFORE you buy!! You can purchase the glad bags that have the elastic grip openings or if you purchase others make sure when you place the bags in that the bottom seam runs east and west in the pail. (long-ways) and it should stay. If not, just purchase black garbage bags! EVEN IF I knew the con ahead of time, I would still have purhcase it anyway. The pros definitely outweigh out the cons and I get a ton of compliments on my TRASH CAN!! I LOVE IT!! Hope this helps! : )

This trash can is absolutely solid and perfect for my needs. I used to have a stainless steel version, but decided to purchase the black plastic because the stainless steel was hard to keep clean. This one is great because it is easy to use and is extremely easy to wash and wipe down.

Looks good, functions well, used daily in my Kitchen. No batteries to replace, no electronics to malfunction.......as a matter of fact, looks better than some twice the price.

This bin is strong, looks good and prevents our dogs to take unauthorized food. The model fits in any modern kitchen.

I love that this trash can is easy to clean, HUGE, made to last and looks great in our house. I had a trashcan with a lid you had to lift with your hand before and the step makes it so much easier and more sanitary. Regular size 13 gal trash bags fit perfectly!!

I have two cats that love a challenge. Closed doors? No problem. Cupboard doors? No problem. Trash can? Easy open - at least up until now. Finally a locking trash can that can still be opened with one hand. It's big enough to hold a week's worth of trash, yet not bulky or in the way in a small kitchen. I love not having to worry about coming home to trash all over the floor and shredded trash bags. Thanks for the great product.

perfect size for the whole weeks worth of trash, never have to touch the cover with my hands. very well made and holds up great!

The best of all is that my cat can't get into it. We have tried for over 10 years to cat proof our grabarge can. No matter what I did "Max" figured it out. We had to put it in the bathroom and lock the door every night and if we forgot, he would climb into it. The BEST investment we ever made. The size is perfect, the step pedal works great, and it very well made. Would HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!!

great design , looks great , and the 50l one i've bought holds more than enough waste.would recommend this bin

trash can is great looking and keeps my dog and toddler grandson out would diffidently buy again

well built, looks good and stays clean because it works. the custom fit bags are a snug fit and strong. it's easy to empty and the draw strings on the bags make for hassle free bag changes.

I really like the self-closing feature so it doesn't slam. I use it many times a day. The size is good for my kitchen and it is made well. It looks nice and fits the rest of my kitchen theme. My only complaint is that it does not rest flat against the wall. The back part sticks out well past the bin and I wish it was flat so it would rest against the wall nicer.

This trash can keeps my son out of trouble, and I'm loving it. While he is smart enough to figure out the cabinet child locks, this garbage can still eludes him.

Always having a problem with an open re-cycling bin we wanted an enclosed bin that would not need emptying every day.The 50 litre semi round bin is ideal. It looks much better than the old one and is really well made.Wish the bags were a bit bigger though! Having said that I would certainly buy another. Indeed we have just purchased a 40 litre bin for general kitchen rubbish.

Good quality, economical price. ( Do not buy any of the step lid trash cans that Walmart sells, other brands are cheap but junk) Simple Human makes a quality product I would buy again if need be.

all of the above, love the waqy the trash bags fit tightly

Love this trashcan. Very functional and nice looking too!

This is a fine piece of can! Bought it for my mom for her birthday. (she was like ummm thanks.) She now LOVES it! It is modern and has a quiet closing lid. Nice nice nice!

The Bin is so easy to use.That is to say that,the opening and self closing is a delight. The Bin is in use every day, as I am a Tattoo Artist. The size means that the Bio environmental bags fit perfectly. I do not touch the lid in any way. It is strong in construction.

I did have a reycle bin with seperate compartments but every one would mix everthing up and I would end up using 3 black bags instead of one. This is simple and big I use 1 bag and take it out side to the bins and sort the rubbish. Great and my dogs can't open it. I really want the dog food bin but at £99 its a bit to much.

The main reason I was interested in this trash can was the slide-lock feature that prevents pets from getting into the trash. IT DOES! I can now leave my Corgi and frisky feline at home unattended and trust that I won't come home to a kitchen filled with overturned garbage and two guilty looking culprits. This trash can looks great in my kitchen and the "slow to close" lid is very cool! This is an awesome trash can and a wise purchase.

My favorite thing is the foot lever opening device. I was surprised at how good the plastic can looks. It's very well made.

I love the slow close lid! Fits perfectly in the space we've placed it and looks great! Thank you Simple Human!

Overall super happy with its function as a trash receptacle. It is well constructed, and I like how it has a self closing function. Super easy to empty and replace liner. Also, you do not have to use the simple human trash bags with it, regular large kitchen trash bags work great as well.

My wife and I bought this trash can to replace an expensive, but wrecked aluminum one. It's worked out really well - quiet, and the shape allows the garbage bag to be completely filled, which has allowed us to save on bags. It is in daily use, and we're happy with it

I have gone through two other metal, step trash cans that were twice as much as this one. They did not last. We are six, and our can is out in our kitchen, up against the island (half round shape) and gets used constantly. The easy to use lock keeps the dog out when we aren't home. The opening/closing is silent, unlike metal can's I've had that close with a "clang." Very sturdy, easy to wipe down. I love my trash can. Just fits a 13-gal bag without a bunch of extra hanging over the edge, fits tight and doesn't slip.

I love this can.. It's really strong and looks as if it would last years! I love the way it opens with one step and locks so my toddler can't get in. But its not a regular size and the garbage bags that they sell at the stores won't fit nicely...

I bought this for my daughter and son in-law for Christmas and they LOVED it. Something they needed and had the perfect spot to put it. It is the best trash can ever!!! It is so well constructed and looks great!
