simplehuman 45 Liter / 12 Gallon Rectangular Hands-Free Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Brushed Stainless Steel

The media could not be loaded. Our last garbage bin was a similarly sized, plastic, foot pedal bin from Walmart, that survived 3.5 years. But it slid around the floor, stunk (even with regular cleaning), was a pain to put bags into, difficult to keep partially full bags in place, and pretty ugly. When it broke, I hopped on Amazon and started pouring over various garbage bin options. I'm a big review reader, so I put in work before I buy anything. I wanted a better bin.When I found this one, I balked at the price. As a frugal person, the idea of spending so much on a garbage can was never something I thought I would do. But the reviews were so good, the one that sold me was written by a quality engineer who was ready to design his own garbage bin, but found and fell in love with this one. Well, a couple days later and it was at my door. I set it up, and immediately fell in love.This bin is amazing. I actually, seriously love this garbage bin. It stays in place, no slipping or sliding or tipping. The lid opens well and easily, and the soft close is a dream. Putting bags on is so quick and easy, they aren't visible from the outside, and they stay in place perfectly. Also, it's pretty. So pretty that I cleaned my kitchen after I set it up so that it looked better for the garbage bin. Every time I use the garbage, I admire it a bit.Inside the bin, there is a compartment for garbage bags, which comes stocked with some from SimpleHuman. I won't be buying more of those bags, as they are very expensive, and other reviews have indicated that (my usual) Costco bags fit fine. Also, there is a little scent pod that slides into a tray which sticks inside the lid of the bin. It's a nice touch, but the scent isn't my favourite (not bad, just not for me), and I doubt I would ever think to buy pod refills, so I likely won't keep that there after this pod is empty.TL;DR if you're looking for a quality garbage bin, get this one. It's everything you could want and more. Plus it has a 10 year warranty. I'm a broke student and I'm glad I invested in this bin.

Bought this for my office kitchen. Very sturdy and looks great in kitchen. The motion sensor works every time. Love this trash can. I wish I had room in my home kitchen for one! Hight recommend!

Hacer esta compra me tomo mi tiempo ya que no es un producto barato,, y el precio limitaba mi decisión,, ahora que ya tengo el producto en casa debo admitir que es muy bonito y esta tan bien hecho que me daba penilla usarlo para lo que está destinado,, sólo espero que me dé muchos años de servicio,, para poder decir que fue un dinero bien gastado…

I bought this in bronze and just love it! Not sure about the negative review regarding the bag dispenser … seems to me you’d have to be pretty rough with the trash can for anything to break or come loose on it. Mine has been very durable as well as beautiful and practical. The only issue is the top has a few scratches on it now, but I’ve had it for over three years. Not sure what scratched it but it’s not horrible or anything. This is expensive, but it is worth it when it has to sit out in the open rather than in a closet. Great for my tiny kitchen!

Great bin. Lots of space, lid rises easily so no mess! Great bag storage at the back to thread the next bag through. Nice long pedal so I'm hopeful it'll last a while.
