5L Slim Step Can
on November 21, 2025
Posted by: Deborah G.
I've used a similar small SimpleHuman garbage can at home for years. The quality is excellent, which prompted me to look into getting a 2nd one for our new RV. I've always liked the convenient foot pedal feature, though this model no longer has the press and click feature on the top of the lid, which I do miss. What I really like, though, is that it now holds a little compartment inside for extra garbage bags. Nifty design and very convenient! Everything is nice and compact. Perfect for our RV!

Small can fits in tight space. Holds more than you think.

Love this!

I needed an upgrade and my dog kept getting into the bathroom garbage downstairs, pulling/eating tissues and other gross garbage. This can is the perfect size for the space next to the toilet and it has a lid!! What I wasn’t expecting was the perfect slot to keep extra can liners handy. Thanks for creating this perfect gem; this dog mom is happy!!

I love all Simplehuman products. This one did not disappoint me. Made well. Love the brush style. Functions as should and easily. I use mine in the bedroom. It is the only can that keeps the pets out. I no longer worry about the dog or cat removing trash from the can. I never go wrong with a simplehuman product.

Love it, but too small
on February 17, 2026
Posted by: Crystal D.
I love this step can for the bathroom, but the 5L is too small for my liking even in my half bath. I did buy the 9L for the main bathroom and I love that one so much more. I will eventually get another 9L at some point. I personally do not think the 5L is worth buying for any room.
