Wow…What a Gorgeous Can
on June 18, 2025
Posted by: Steve K.
Who would think that a trash can would deliver the wow factor but, the 58L Step Recycler has. We needed to replace an old cylinder trash can, did some research, found Simplehuman brand, read reviews and ordered it. No regrets!
It fits beautifully in the kitchen, full length step-bar to easily open the lid or, when changing the bag(s) or lifting out the recycle bucket, the entire collar/lid lifts up manually and stays in the upward position. It’s also a nice feature during cooking when one needs the lid open.
The can came with complimentary trash bags but, I’ll likely use them to line the recycle bucket and continue to use Costco/Kirkland bags as they fit very well but require a little tucking if you want to hide the bag behind the collar. I love soft close lid! No more lid slamming! Plus, minimal foot pressure to lift the lid.
This trash can is like an appliance. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth the splurge? Absolutely! The build quality and functionality are apparent. As for longevity, we’ll see how it holds up but, after a week, we love it!
What a nice can!

Worth the price

I honestly wasn’t sure if it would be worth it, but I really love this trash can. It’s so convenient having both compartments right there. My husband has even commented on how nice of a trash can it is. It’s not hard to change the bag. There’s no smell. It looks really nice. I would buy again.

Elite Trash Can

My wife and I are already loving this trash can. The ease of removal of the trash while using their own special bags is quite useful. I love the matte black and the odor reducers work! I’d highly recommend.

It creaks opening and closing.
on May 19, 2025
Posted by: Thomas N.
I am on my second one with the same exact problem. The lid creaks when you open and close it. All of the advertising brags how quiet the lid is. It’s the opposite of quiet. Disappointed. Way too much money for the subpar build quality.
