2nd new trash can
on November 24, 2025
Posted by: Linda D.
My family & I use Simple Human trash cans all over our houses. This is the 2nd of this newer style I’ve bought to replace existing older Simple Human cans. This style is so convenient when bag changing and the rim stays much cleaner. The step opener is larger & really lifts the lid! Love it & worth the replacement cost.

Good size

When our motion detector double can bit the dust ( replaced once on warranty) we decided to go low tech. Works great every time we step on the pedal. Not too big so trash won’t smell. So far so good.

Our Second One!

We had the previous iteration of this can for 15 years, we think. So good. We are not folks to spend this money on a trashcan. We do for simple human. Totally worth it. Silent and perfect!

Great Industrial/stylish rubish can

I purchased this to replace the half round sensor can from Simple human. I didn’t care for the sensor as it was inconsistent with what I use it for. I prefer this style of rubbish can WAY better!

Love our new “white” garbage can.
Works and looks great!
Just disappointed they sent me black refill bags.

I miss my old trash can
on December 9, 2025
Posted by: Brian R.
Our old SimpleHuman trash can that we had for about 20 years was terrific until the foot pedal final broke. It was such a good product that I didn’t even look at other brands once we had to purchase a new one.
This new model, which is the same size as our old one but taller, with a narrower base, and a large bump on the backside to hold Simple Human branded bags, is unstable and tends to lean outwards after a few uses, thus requiring me to pull it out from the wall and reposition with the narrow base and bulky bag holder up high, it seems top heavy Our old one was squat, with a wider base, and never moved around on the floor. It stayed in place.
This one appears to have been redesigned to allow for the branded bag holder, a feature I will never use and which feels like a money grab. (I will continue to buy garbage from the grocery store as I have always done). This ba holder projects out the backside of the can up at the top, and results in a space behind the can at the bottom half. This space is what allows the base of the can slide in towards the wall over time as I push the pedal to lift the top.
Good news is the construction still feels like the same quality as our old can which lasted 20 years, so that’s a good thing. It’s a solid product with one nagging flaw.

Spacious

It holds more with no can liner. Convenient liner storage. Compact and attractive with the compost caddy. A more streamlined approach to reducing waste and encourage recycling.

Good Quality and Attractive
on December 21, 2025

This is my second Simple Human trash can. My folirst was the half-round that I bought 7 yrs ago. It still operated smoothly. Unfortunately, my toddler grandson used the top as a drum, so it had some dents. A kitchen refresh called for a new one, so I bought the stainless steel rectangle shape. Very happy with the foot pedal and sliw-close lid.
