Had a Simple Human step can for 20 years, and recently the lid hinge broke. So I replaced it with the dual compartment step can, and am loving it so far. Hope it is the same superb quality that Simple Human made 20 years ago. FYI, I have another 20 yr old SH step can still functioning as good as when new!
The lid closely quietly as advertised, it's "no hands" with the step pedal to open, and I can also discard recyclables in the same can. And the custom fit liners really do make a difference.
Like most of the reviews, I too hesitated to spend the money and also, like the others who did buy it, I am so glad I did. It looks sleek and does it's job so we'll. Who could ask for more? You'll be pleased!
