Great, could be better better. Bag dispenser creates problems
on December 29, 2020
Posted by: E S.
Fits normal (sams club) bags well and works awesone. Improvement recommendations:
1) ditch the bag dispenser. REPEAT ditch the bag dispenser. There is no customer benefit to this (even though the videos try to make it appear that there is) It creates a top heavy can which is a problem (see #4) and wastes precious floor space
2) add a removable pan to the bottom so that leaks can easily be cleaned up
3) partially recess the pedal into the base of the can. To save precious floor space
4) Add discrete rubber bumpers to the back of the can. The awkward design and balance (due to bag dispenser) means that the top of can was in contact with cabinet, creating abrasions on cabinet when opening and closing the trash can I added a couple sticky carpet squares to the back of the can to cushion the contact point.
And yes, i spend far too much time thinking about improvements to things like trash cans.

Needed a new one

The trash can is unassuming in the kitchen. The color blends well with our other appliances. I wish it came in a larger size in this color.

45L rectangular step can with liner pocket

We enjoy the design and the pleasant way it operates, however I wish it would have an insert to prevent spills from leakage. It seems difficult to clean the cavity.

This is a great company to deal with, always looking out for their customers and will take care of any problem you have with any simplehuman product. I love this trash can and have had it for years, the finish starting coming off and they replaced it no problem. Great Company equals Great Products! Keep up the good work!

Disappointed
on June 14, 2020
Posted by: Saidee
I really wanted to love this trash can! After eyeballing it for almost a year I decided to order it. It’s beautiful and fits perfectly in my space. I love the hefty bags and how convenient the liner pocket is. I also love the liner on the bottom of the trash can that will catch anything that would droop out of the bag (highly unlikely if you use the simplehuman brand name bags). However, the garbage can scratches SUPER easily. I haven’t had it for a full month and can already see several scratches on the lid :( The are also two small dents on the lid that look like a nail was dropped on it. The nano silver clear coat is described to protect against fingerprints and this is very misleading as I’m having to wipe the can down on a daily basis due to visible fingerprints. I must say I’m disappointed and therefore gave it only 3 stars.

Basically perfect

I too balked at the idea of getting an expensive trash can. But let's be honest, this thing is basically perfect. Smooth opening and closing, great appearance, and can't get fingerprints on it.

Love, love, love this!

I received this originally in 2016 (it was on my Christmas wish list). While wiping it down in 2019 some of the finish came off. I contacted simplehuman and after verification of the issue they replaced it free of charge. Doesn't get any better than that. If you use their bags you won't have problems with stuff falling out of the bag into the container as well.
