## Description

simplehuman's stainless steel rectangular step can features an innovative 'liner pocket' that stores and dispenses liners from inside the can for a faster liner change. The stainless steel liner rim grips the liner and keeps it hidden. And with no inner bucket, there's more space for trash. Strong plastic pedal is designed to last, and with the patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close of the dent-proof plastic lid every time. Code M liner refill packs store perfectly in this can's liner pocket.

Review: ECELLENT! Worth every penny! Bags are great, too! - After over 7 years and having saved my life, the last Simple Human kitchen trash can needed to be replaced. We LOVE the dispenser for the bags and this can is even better than the last one! The bags fit snuggly and are heavy duty. We could not be more pleased. (YES! The old can saved my life. The distance between our refrigerator and the wall across from it is 5 ft. I slipped on a very slippery waxed floor in socked feet and fell looking at the refrigerator with my back to the wall where we had the trash can. Had the can not been there, and broken my fall, my neck would surely have snapped when I landed. I took the dents out and we kept that trash can for years until the lid opening mechanism finally broke.)
Review: Beautiful - I never knew a trash can could be beautiful until I purchased this product. Although it is pricey, I was thankful to have gotten it on sale. It is very sturdy and well-designed. The lid opens and closes slowly, which I think will help it last longer. The size is just right, and I appreciate the trash bag storage compartment located inside the trash bin. I also like that it came with an air freshener pod.

## Features

- NEAT AND SECURE - Stainless steel liner rim flips up for a quick and easy liner change, then closes over the liner to hold it tightly in place and keep it hidden from sight.
- LINER POCKET - Keep liners where you need them. Dispense them one by one — no perforations or unraveling — from inside the can for a faster liner change.
- STRONG STEEL PEDAL - simplehuman's strong steel pedal is engineered to last over 150,000 steps — that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.
- SILENT CLOSE LID - simplehuman's patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close.
- DENT-PROOF PLASTIC LID - Won't show dirt or fingerprints.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kitchen trashcan!
*by M***Z on February 8, 2024*

I hesitated buying this trashcan because it’s a 45 L. Our previous trashcan was the earlier model from Simple Human, which was a 50 L. I liked that one a lot. I was also worried about whether I could still use glad forceflex kitchen trash bags. They were a tight squeeze on our old trashcan, but I just felt like that held them on better. We have been using this trashcan for a couple of months now, and I love it! The 13 gallon kitchen trash bags fit perfectly. I’m still using the glad force flex. They are not a tight squeeze so they’re easier to get on and off. At first I was worried that they wouldn’t hold on as well, but they are very secure. This is an huge improvement on the old trashcan. I look back now, and realize how much we struggled to get those tightly fitted bags onto the liner compared to now. Because there is no liner, like with the old trashcan, taking out the trash and replacing the bag is a more streamlined process. The trashcan also is visibly smaller, which I like. Presumably because it’s 5 L smaller (a difference I have not noticed), and because there is no liner (that plastic bin that goes inside the trashcan that I had to remove from the can each time I wanted to change out the bag). I was worried that the size difference would be a problem because we generate a lot of trash with five people in our household and frequent guests. But I find we are filling the trashcan at the same rate as before. Aesthetically, the trashcan is also a winner. Every family member commented on it. They were all impressed with the look. I’m extremely happy with this trashcan. If you are on the fence, I would definitely recommend getting it.
