Possible to remove the lid? I like an open can in the bathroom, but the lidless Simplehuman one loses space with its uniquely-shaped inner can.

They make an open top version called the simplehuman Profile Open Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel, 10-Liter/2.6-Gallon. simplehuman Profile Open Trash Can, Stainless Steel, 10 L / 2.6 Gal

4 screws seem to hold the lid on to the cab. I suspect you can remove them and the lid with come off.

The lid is held onto the lift mechanism by two phillips-head screws. They can be removed. The lift mechanism sticks out in the back about 2-1/4". It is held on by similar screws and could also be removed. (I don't know what would be the consequences for the foot-pedal in the front.) But why pay for all this engineering that you aren't going to use?

Yes, it would be a little more difficult but the liquid will come out of the side of the can instead of the top. But it is still doable. The only downside to this can opener is that I always put the lid inside of the can once the product is out. Now the lid won't fit :-) Still worth this can opener, I love it.

Yes I can remove the lid, if I pull on it even a little, after the middle button is pushed down. I was able to do this pretty much immediately, so it's not that the product is old or faulty. They don't seal 100%. They close pretty well but they are not airtight at all. I live in Hawaii, and was concerned about bugs and humidity. The good part is that bugs (esp ants) haven't gotten in yet, after two years. But the bad part is that the humidity has gotten in. So most of the stuff I keep is in a plastic bag inside of the container. Pretty lame, considering the price, but they stack well and aren't ugly.

You can use same one or buy a new lid and seat. The best thing about this item is you can close the lid. Other models out there you can't shut the lid it's "stuck " open. Enjoy it ! My 83 yr old mom is the envy of the others at her assisted living residence.

You don't have to take the lid all the way off. You can unscrew it half way and there is a space to pour through.

The simplehuman can is not "hermetically" sealed, but it does have a firm, reasonably tight lid closure. I would still not leave odiferous material in any waste can for any length of time, since any objectionable odors will drift out into the surrounding space every time the can is opened. The good thing about this can is that it has a self-closing lid, so the lid does not remain open for long after use. We are very pleased with all aspects of this attractive, user-friendly waste can.

Yes to open the can. You will have to be creative removing the lid from the can opener magnet, but can probably shake it off with one hand.

No, It is too small to remove a lid that size. Works really well with soda bottles, etc.

As you can see in the photo, there are four "walls" around the outside. One of those walls unlatches and you can open it on hinges. Once the lid is tipped up, you can lift it completely off the unit.

Hi, it doesn't fit under my cabinet with the lid on it but does without the lid.

Yes, the lid is removeable, but if you're not going to use it, you might want to choose a different type of trash container. Perhaps if you purchase this one, you'll decide to use the lid after all. The opening is adequately large to enable inserting trash without a problem. The lid opens and closes on hinges at the back. You can leave it open as much of the time as you wish and still have the option to readily close it and secure it in the closed position.

Yes no problem! You need to cut off the plastic between the handle so you can take it off to put the lid on though!

There is padding inside the can except for the bottom part. I checked mine, you can pull it out, but you would need to put some kind of blue or adhesive to reattach it. Hope it helps.

There is no opening in the teakettle. You could remove the lid but it is not easy to remove. My husband estimates amount of water by weight when he lifts it. This our second Chantal and we have had no problem with rusting in either with water left in until the enamel was damaged on the first which was the reason for purchasing the second.

The scoop that comes with fits the opening perfectly. You could take it to a store and try to find a different one. But too big and you won't be able to use it to push the inside lid down and empty it into the bin cleanly.

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!
