I absolutely love this garbage can. Sleek, quiet (love that the lid doesn't slam), and it does stay smudge free. My only niggles is the liners don't quite fit. We'll be using standard one. It allowed me to totally upgrade my back door entry which was a disaster before.
The trash bin is beautiful and I love the super quiet lid closure. The bottom grip isn't the best as it does move around slightly after couple of steps on my tile floor. I also don't like that I can't engage the lid to stay open by simply holding the lid up. Instead this model has it so that I have to essentially take the entire outer rim up until it clicks and have to use force to push the lid back down. I'm afraid it might break within a year. But so far everything else about it is great. It's beautiful, holds a lot and holds in smells quite well.
This is the perfect trash can for my small apartment kitchen. It's slim, the lid closes tight to keep smells down, and the step opener works well so i never have to touch the lid.
My garbage can that I had for a couple years broke. I contacted simple human and they sent me a brand new one very quickly. Very impressed by their customer service.
