Did not disappoint!. I also bought the matching compost bin. I really wanted the larger 40/40 model, but I didn’t have enough space for it. I love that the lid opens easily and stays open for everyday use. When guests come over, I can simply close it, and it seals nicely to keep everything out of sight. So far, I have no complaints. I’m very happy with my purchase.
Incredible quality and convenience! I was worried with the size being smaller than our last kitchen trash can but everything about this has been a better experience. No issues and feels like such an upgrade to our space!
We owned a 58 L Simple Human trash can for eight years before the hinge broke. I contacted the company to see about replacement parts, and they replaced it for free!
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.
