Great trash can

This was a great purchase. It is very easy to keep clean even with small Children’s fingerprints. The built-in trash bag holder it very convenient. I have had mine for almost 3 years and love it! It has a 10-year warranty and great customer service.
I bought my original simplehuman trashcan about 5 years ago and then 6 months ago, it stopped working and only opened about 4 inches. I was getting ready to purchase a new one when I stumbled upon a review about SH replacing someone trashcan for free as it also stopped working. I contacted the company and they sent me a brand new one in less than a week. I definitely love a company that stands behind their products as it encourages customer loyalty! Thank you SH!!!
This is probably the fourth trash can we've bought in the past year. We've tried multiple designs as well as wildlife proofing devices in an attempt to keep an extremely determined cat out of the kitchen garbage. So far, this is the most successful - it's too heavy and stable to knock over, the pedal is too narrow for him to get on and press even if he does figure that out and the lid is both heavy enough and designed in a way that seems to make it so he can't use his nose to push it up and get in or scratch at the bag, so I'm hoping it will be the last can I need to buy for quite some time. Plus, it looks great!
Love the size of the trash can but it is flimsy and there were scratches on the lid and a place on the front where the finish is missing.

At simplehuman, we take our packaging and shipping processes very seriously. We always claim full responsibility for any fulfillment trouble and work hard to make things right if they ever go wrong. This customer's experience is not normal and we have worked with them to ensure a proper solution.
A lot of times I buy products with a warranty and think to myself that I am sure I won’t be able to use the warranty. I am sure I said that when I purchased my simplehuman trash can. I expected to get a denial or something for my warranty claim due to stainless steel peeling and lid hinge malfunction. Nope!... that was not the case. Customer service rep got back with me via email within 24 hours and I had a new trash can within a week. I will never buy another product after this event. Oh... not to mention the can has been a game changer for me. I bought the can because my lab (dog) kept getting into the trash for a late night snack (that would not agree with his tummy). Not only did this can resolve that issue, you will never walk into my house and smell my trash because this can contains the smell perfectly.
