Love it, but too small
on February 17, 2026

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.

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 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!!
