The SS finished lid is nice to look at but not worth the race off of added weight over the plastic lid on the other models. Overall a great trashcan. closed the lid and apron have an anxiety inducing sideways wobble to them. That coupled with the heavy lid has me doubt this trash can will make it past 10 years but other than that, same old great simplehuman trashcan! SS finish matches the appliances well and the bag pocket works great. Very big too! The trash will definitely start to ferment before you need to take it out.
I used to dread having to take the trash out of the can, wrestling with both the can and the bag, and then replacing the bag. But now the whole process is so easy and streamlined. The white bags are unexpectedly fresh and reliable. No more trash stress!
Our last trash can was a different brand, smaller but similar, and we have been wanting to get a larger can for some time. It also had an inner can and removing the trash bag was always a hassle because the lid would close while we were trying to get the bag in and out. We had enough of it and FINALLY took the plunge on this simplehuman can and I’m so glad we did. This can is pricey, but it’s definitely worth it. My favorite features are the stay-open lid when removing the bag, the dispenser/liner pocket built in to the inside/back of the can (so no more futzing around with the box of trash bags in a separate cupboard), and the scent control pods that attach to the inner lid. We got it in white and it’s wonderful that the trash is no longer an eyesore. Also, the lack of an inner can liner allows for less trips to the dumpster (once per week instead of twice per week which is HUGE!). I’m truly obsessed with this trash can. So glad we purchased it!!
It is a pleasure to throw out thrash now. Quiet and well constructed. The easy replacement bag compartment is very smart. Size of bags means less trips to outside cans. Bags are well made and strong. Odor eliminator under top was also great addition. Just wish it had a locking mechanism to hold in place when removing the bag because it can slide up and fall in bag if you are not careful. I prefer not to have to worry about losing it. Not cheap to replace!!
We are from Chicago south suburb. Went on a trip to Lincoln Nebraska during 4th of July. Rented a small house there was this step can in the kitchen. Liked the size and when got back ordered it on line. Amazed how fast came in and hoping to get more items in the future.
