Really like this trash can

This trash can is really nice, i got the 12inch in aruba. I don't think the aruba matches the picture, it's more blue than the picture shows, but it's still pretty. I've bought 3 of these now because the size is really nice and they are much easier to empty with the handles, and they fit in small spaces better than the round ones do.

Awesome trash can but expensive. Easy to insert and remove bags. Looks good and doesn't take up too much space.

Likes: *** This trash can is of great quality. Not flimsy material.
*********** The lid closes slowly after releasing the step. No noise while closing and also convenient.
*********** My favorite part about this is the shape. It fits neatly along side a cabinet or against a wall unlike round bins that waste space.
*********** Has a lock. Comes in handy with kids and pets.
Dislikes: * Fixing the lid can be a little tricky. The instructions behind the lid were not sufficient. I needed the help of a youtube video (TIP: The trick
  is after attaching the hook in the center, squeeze each rear corner of the lid and the groove on the rim of the trash can together very hard
  on either side of the can. You will hear it click once for each side)
*********** I wish the trash can came in a smaller size. I use separate trash cans for food waste and the rest. I purchased this for food waste and it
  is too big. I have to waste large capacity bags for in order to change the bags everyday.
Overall a big thumbs up!

I don't know why I like a trash can that is labeled as a trash can, but I do.  Purchased this for a cabin.  It fits perfectly with our casual decor.  Not too big, but bigger than some small trash cans.  The handle will be handy if I can get the kids/grandkids to carry it downstairs to empty it!

This is a great trash can. I use it for cat litter for a few reasons -- first, I don't have to touch anything with my hands, the foot pedal works smoothly every time. second, it traps the smell inside the can, it may not be *airtight* but it certainly is darn close. lastly, it's the perfect size for plastic grocery bags, and has little tabs to hold the bags in place. I guess a 4th reason I just thought of now :) is the plastic lining of the can comes out for easy washing! It's a really well thought out trash can...who knew so much could go into a trash can!

LOVE this trash can. Well made, functions smooth and looks good. The can expensive but well worth it. The simplehuman bags that come with it are really good but a bit pricey. They are good bags, but regular 13 gallons bags will work, just a bit snug going on. We haven't decided if we will order more of their brand.
There is a lift out liner inside, just pull it up and out and change the bag. The bag stays hidden inside.

I love this trash can. The first one I bought lasted 5 years and now I have replaced it with a new one.

I was done with the round/cylinder step trashcans I had. They seemed impossible to keep clean, they were rather noisy, and being round it was kind of a hassle to get the bags out plus not as much fit inside. This new can puts recycling and trash under one lid, which looks nicer, and has a fabulous finish that seems to stay magically cleaner. I lost a bit of space with the recycling part, but it's also a rectangle and, honestly, it should be emptied often anyhow. The trash side seems to be slightly larger, due to it being rectangular mainly, but still isn't huge.

The highs:
>> Fits within the depth of the kitchen cabinets, allowing it to sit nicely beside one end.
>> Easy to operate foot pedal and SUPER QUIET lid closing (air compression).
>> Simple mechanism to lock the lid open, which is great while cooking.
>> Looks good, stays clean, overall simple / elegant modern design
>> I still use regular kitchen trash bags, and it's easy to fit around the container which also has a hole to shove extra bag in for a tight and hidden fit. (No need to buy their expensive bags, plus I don't use a bag on the small recycling side)

The lows:
>> pricey - but worth it if you want your trash to look nice (haha). You get what you pay for with other trash cans.
>> the inner cans are still a bit small, this would have been the perfect can if recycling was a bit wider and both a bit deeper... ie. if there was an 'extra large' version of the same can.

I definitely think this is a vanity purchase, it's just a trash can, afterall, but I'm thrilled with it. It was also shipped safely and quickly from Amazon.

I love this trash can ! It looks great and work great. It's great size and easy to keep clean. Big enough for a family of 8. This opening is surprisingly enough to accommodate a lot of material .

i had this item in my virtual cart for a very long time.  it was hard on my limited budget to justify 50 dollars for any trashcan, let alone a plastic one.  i always had the smaller cheaper ones and though my pets do not try to enter the trash, i do not put it past them someday.  the main reason i got it is the trashcan i had has a touch and flip up lid and my very acrobatic cat uses it as a springboard and has fallen in more that once.  i was surprised at the difference in material and construction alone between the one i had and this one.  other than it being a bit top heavy when empty (im considering putting a brick inside before the trashbag) this is a wonderful trashcan.  tall sturdy and very good looking.  the lock feature is great and very secure.  was easy to put together.  if this is the last kitchen trash can i buy it is money very well spent.  ive spent much more on the 15 dollar jobs ive had to replace every 2 years.  will update as time goes by.

I really like this adjustable lid.  It's pretty windy where I live and was tired of running around to pick-up my recycling when it blew all over the place.  The velcro strap works well, so fits any size trash can.  I do wish it was bright orange!  I'm having to order another one, because my last one got accidently thrown away by my trash peeps :(  I had a note on it to not "throw away", and was good for the past 5 months - til today.

I really like this trashcan. It is super convenient, clean, and fits well in my tiny kitchen while holding a lot. Keeps odors in and bugs out.

A friend of mine said it looked like a giant iPod. Do with that what you will.

I love this trash can!!  The selling point for me was the inside hinges.  My last can scuffed up our wall really bad.  This can works great.  The opening is nice and wide and the lid closes slow, but not too slow.

I love my simplehuman 46 liter kitchen garbage/recycling can.  It's taking a bit of getting used to using a smaller garbage area that I'm used to, but having a place all for those recycleables makes up for it. Not having a line of recyclables on the counter or a bag of them to go out to the garage is nice.
I have a huge box of 15 gal kitchen garbage bags that I will continue to use, but when they are gone, I will purchase the ones that fit in this can. There is a lot of wasted space left in the bags when it's pulled out of the can, so I continue to use it outside of the garbage can until full.
The can fits nicely under my kitchen island. When I step on the lid release, the top comes up gently and hits the underside of the counter.  It is only an issue when I have to remove the bags and the lid needs to come all the way up hitting the underside of the counter. When I change the bags, I have to slide slide the can out from under the counter.  I have a hardwood floor, so I will be putting felt pads on the bottom to prevent scratching the floor.

Love the convenience of the trash bag refills in it. Easy to get full trash bags out and perfect size. As long as you don't mind buying the refills, it's a great trash can.

The only negative I would give this product: the price.  But I was willing to pay for a trash can that must be out in the open, so needs to look ok and fit in a given space.  For years, I had a round can that looked alright but the opening mechanism broke early and several times again after my husband's repairs.  This can has a good warranty.  It holds a lot and is easy to change the liner.  I love my new trash can, as silly as that sounds.

This is a great garbage can. We had the old style but luv the newer style a little bit smaller but does the job.
