## Description

simplehuman's unique touch-bar makes it easy to open the can from any angle. Just tap with your elbow, bump with your hip or nudge with your knee.

The code M liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience.

Review: Maravilloso - Me daba miedo comprarlo porque no es precisamente barato, pero enseguida te das cuenta de que es un cubo de calidad. Se desliza con muchísima facilidad, es grande y elegante. He comprado a parte las bolsas originales porque vienen unas cuantas de muestra y son buenísimas, merecen la pena aunque parezcan caras porque no gotean nunca. Muy fácil de abrir y cerrar. Abres y se mantiene abierto hasta que cierras sin tocar nada lo cual es comodisimo mientras estás recogiendo la mesa después de las comidas. Es un cubo 10, mejor imposible.
Review: Best trash can ever! - HIghest recommendation for this touch bar trash can. It's a superior design to the foot pedal can. A pedal can requires mechanical linkage from the pedal to the lid, and this linkage has to make two right-angle turns at back and top. The joints of the linkage take tremendous force, because the pedal has only a short movement to cause a larger movement at the lid, and there are two right-angle turns the linkage has to make in between. What this adds up to is noise in the mechanical parts as they creak under the strain, and broken parts--the Oxo that this one replaced had plastic pieces in the linkage that just broke after a time, because they couldn't take the load. And it was a $100 can at the time I bought it. By eliminating all the connecting rods and joints leading from the pedal to the lid, you eliminate noise and broken parts. Another thing you need to know about this one, is that the touch bar does work. It's not tricky, you don't have to develop a touch--it works right away. Took me about 5 uses to get used to pushing down rather than lifting up--now it's like I always did it that way. Lots of times, when I'm at the sink or counter my fingers are sticky or wet and I don't want to touch the bar with them--I just hit it with the heel of my hand or wrist or whatever. It's actually more convenient than the pedal, in that your feet can stay wherever they are. Separate the can in your mind from the Simplehuman custom bags. You don't need the bags, and I actually prefer to use the 13-gallon Glad Force flex bags I've been using. When you buy the can, Simplehuman packs 10 bags with it, so you can try them out for yourself and see what you think. I find the Simplehuman bags a little tight--they make them that way so there's a tight fit around the top. But the Simplehuman bags are solving a problem that's not there in the first place. When I put the 13-gal Glad flex bag in, I just gather up the inch or two of extra until there's a good fit around the top of the liner, and then push the gathered 'extra' through a little hole that's in the back of the lift-out liner--you push it through the hole from the outside to the inside, and it ends up out of sight, out of mind. If anything, it's a little less annoying than stretching the Simplehuman custom bag over the liner, although neither present a problem. People are correct to raise questions about the bags, but truly, you can use whatever bag you want to use. The size differences--8.5 gal can versus 13 gal bag in my case--are meaningless. You don't end up with a sloppy fit, because it's easy to make gathers and tuck them out of sight. One reason I prefer to keep using the 13 gal Glad bags is that I can put extra stuff into the bag when I pull it out if I want--like refrigerator leftovers that need to go away. There's just no downside. It's logical that Simplehuman would want to sell custom bags, but pay no attention to the hype, you don't need them, or even want them. This can looks good. The coating they put on it does work. It resists prints and smudges--wipes clean immediately. And the touch bar lid is a vast improvement over the pedal. Edit: P. S.--To the reviewer who said his has a handgrip in front: The hand grip goes in back. Just lift off the top, turn the lower can so that the grip faces to the rear, and replace the top. Done.

### ⭐ Articoli dentro danneggiati, se pur la confezione è integra. Scarti di lavorazione
*by C***N on 13 October 2017*

E' la seconda volta che restituisco questo articolo, entrambi sono arrivati danneggiati se pur le confezioni erano perfettamente integre al loro esterno. Perchè continuano con la politica di voler fregare le persone, assurdo con danni del genere non dovrebbero nemmeno inserire il prodotto all'interno dello scatolone per la spedizione.
