Pros: The sturdy construction is nice because the can does not need to be up against the wall, which with other designs leaves a mark on the wall. There is also a convenient handle in the back to lift it since it pretty heavy.
Cons: The bins are a bit small. Standard garbage bags do not stay upright, so you'll need to use a rubber to keep it up. The fitted bags are half the size but more expensive as a standard bag. One feature that is needed is a way to open the top with your hands. Guests often try to open the top without being familiar with the design and this puts undue strain on the mechanism and leads to lid not lifting all the way eventually. Also it's a bit confusing on how to keep the lid open to empty out. Sometimes the mechanism inside gets stuck and doesn't close all the way. That's a small thing just gets some getting used to. Also it would be nice if it were a little big larger, this was the largest double size available.
I needed a larger trash can, and the fact that this also combined a recycle bin made it ideal for my limited space. Like all other SimpleHuman products, functional and attractive.
This trash and recycle can has really elevated my kitchen decor! Hahahah it’s so sleek and modern. The stainless steel accents are elegant as well. Very pleased with how quick it arrived to my home as well.
Simple human makes realizable and easy to use products and they stand behind everything they make. This trashcan is super convenient and easy to change bags for and it looks great in my kitchen.
We love this can and the convenience of having everything at one touch. Fits so well in my kitchen. I have been looking at this can two years now and so glad I chose this one. Thanks simplehuman.
