Mixed Feelings
on November 9, 2026
Posted by: Jonathan R.
Functionally this is good. I’m happy to have separate recycling and garbage compartments instead of a bag for recycling. Aesthetically and technically, though, it feels like a step down from the Simplehuman I bought 15 years ago. My "latte" recycler has stress whitening in the plastic, which I was told is normal, but I’d expect better from injection-molded plastic at this price. The seam where the lid meets the can makes it look like two canisters stacked together, which matters when it sits in a prominent spot. I also miss the slow close on my old one. This lid shuts quickly once you lift your foot off the pedal, and I’d love it if it opened a little wider too. It’s still delivering, and I’ll see how the latte finish holds up against scratches and stains compared to stainless steel.

Too tiny

Sections are way too small. Not even a gallon of milk fits.

Most garbage cans are ugly. This can is a beautiful addition to our kitchen. Its stainless look goes perfectly with our stainless appliances.

Beautiful Can
on October 28, 2026
Posted by: Kathleen R.
This can was a warranty replacement that I received. I was expecting to get the exact same thing that I had before. Instead, I ended up getting a different color. And it also has a little catch in the lid when I raise both the lid and the toppers up at the same time to change the bags. Otherwise, when I step on the bar to open the lid, it works very smooth and it goes nice and slow like it is supposed to.

Love Love Love

Love everything about this garbage/recycler. Took me a long time to decide to purchase based on price but so happy I did! I wanted the 90L but would not fit my space so ordered the 58L. Plenty of room for garbage and recycling. Bigger items I just take out and throw in my recycling bin. Bought the Compost Caddy also and it is fantastic! Love that the garbage/recycler stores the bags in the back of the garbage side. Empty the garbage, pull out a bag and voila…done!
