Sensor Model Didn't Last, Trying the Stepper Version

I purchased the same 58L trash can with the motion sensor about three years ago. While the trash can itself has held up well, the sensor no longer works effectively. I recently purchased the newer 58L model with the step pedal instead of the sensor. Overall, I find these trash cans to be durable and well-made. I'm hopeful that the step pedal model will provide better long-term reliability, but only time will tell how it holds up.
The lid lift on my c garbage can broke after 5 years of use. I contacted simple Human and I had new garbage can in 4 days. Communication was outstanding
We enjoy have the simple human product in our home. For this purpose it works well for us. We are especially pleased with the service we have received from Simplehuman they have been very customer friendly.
I purchased a Simplehuman trash can a month ago for my new home, and I wanted to share how pleased I am with it. It has been a wonderful upgrade to our space, and we have already received many compliments from friends and family.
