Very high quality!

This is the best quality wastebasket we've had. Every part seems built to last. Our last stepcan only last a year. We expect years of service from this one.

LOVE!

This trash can is pricey but worth it! I love how the bag is tucked under with a separate lid than the one that lifts with the step. The step is sturdy and so far no finger prints are showing. I bought a cheaper can hoping to save some money and the step broke within the first couple weeks, lesson learned. Simplehuman is worth the splurge.

I had the round simplehuman can with a full liner. I enjoyed the design of that one much more. The half round only has a liner rim, so if the there is a leak there will be a mess. I wish you still sold it with a full liner.

Excellent, smooth, and sturdy

I absolutely love my Simplehuman 45L Semi-Round Step Can with Liner Rim! From the moment I set it up, it felt like such a sleek and well-designed upgrade to my kitchen. The build quality is excellent, the step pedal is smooth and sturdy, and it closes quietly every single time. It really feels like a premium product.
My favorite feature is the wide mouth — it makes trash disposal so much easier. No more awkward angles or worrying about missing the opening when scraping plates. Everything goes in quickly and cleanly, which is especially helpful during busy cooking or cleanup times.
The liner rim is also fantastic. It keeps the bag neatly tucked away and completely hidden, giving the can a clean, polished look. It’s those small details that make a big difference.
My only small complaint is that this model doesn’t include the inside pouch for storing additional trash liners. I recently purchased the two-compartment recycle step can, and the built-in liner pocket in that one makes storage so convenient and streamlined. I do wish this 45L version had that same feature.
