simplehuman 45 Liter / 12 Gallon Liter Rectangular Hands-Free Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Brushed Stainless Steel with Plastic Lid

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love Simplehuman trash cans. I am a repeat buyer and will always look for this brand when shopping for trash cans. The product is sturdy reliable and well constructed. Love that the trash bags fit perfectly and are durable never ripping or tearing.

Attractive, well-designed, easy to use, practical, good customer support, worth the price. If you use the Odorsorb pod, make sure not to center it on the lid: the bay separator will prevent lid closing--center the pod over the trash bay (not the recycling bay) to prevent odors escaping.

Quality garbage can that stops the smells, has a gentle open and close on the lid and lets you store bags and filters on the bin itself so it all together. Comes with a special bag size but you can use standard bags n there almost as well. Will be purchasing more of these for other houses and family members.

just what we wanted - just needs side handles to move it around. love the compartment to store new bags like a dispenser. also love that you can hide the bags when they are being used.

I never thought Id care much about a trash can but man do I like this one! I've had it for at least a year now and its been great. The custom fit bags are perfect, though I've also used generic ones a few times. The fit and finish is solid and the lid and foot pedal mechanism still works like new. Also does a pretty good job of keeping the smell contained if you throw out something particularly smelly. The build in bag storage is also a very handy feature that I didn't think I needed until I got used to it. For a large family it might be a bit on the small side but works great for a two person household.

This is my second SimpleHuman 45L kitchen trash can. After purchasing a rose gold color several years ago for recyclables, the only problem I had with it was I dropped something heavy on the lid leaving two dents. SimpleHuman corrected the problem in their new design with dent resistant lids, so I purchase one in stainless steel grey color for regular trash. The Costco bags I buy fit perfectly with no extra stretching required. I prefer not having a plastic insert, which would add to the weight of the trash can, making it heavier to move around when cleaning. Excellent and attractive but pricey product. Extra bags and a scent dispenser with scent came with the product.

I can’t believe I paid $150 for a trash can!! When I think about that, I really think I’ve lost my mind! But…I loved the look for this can. I love that it has the recycle and trash bin in one container. I was tired of the two trash bins that I had before. The soft close lid is great. And for my husband, there is no specific area to swipe your hand over in order to get the lid to open. Just step on the foot pedal. It boasts that is fingerprint and smudge resistant, time will tell. It feels pretty sturdy and the slim design works well in my kitchen walkway.Now, I’m disappointed that I have to return it because it has a dent on the front. I tried to let it go and say it’s no big deal. But just could t wrap my head around paying so much for a trash can and it’s not in PERFECT condition. And it was packaged well, so how the dent got there, I don’t know. So now I have to pack this huge box and take it to be returned.

You will not regret this purchase. It's a little costly for a garbage can but totally worth it. Once you use their bags, you will never want to go back to the grocery store ones. Having the bags attach right to the back of the can so you can get to them from the inside is a totally unnecessary feature but once you have it, you don't ever want to go back. You will not regret it.
