simplehuman 58 Liter / 15.3 Gallon Rectangular Hands-Free Dual Compartment Recycling Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Brushed Stainless Steel

It looks like appliance rather than a trashcan. It is so convenient, too. The extra products, the deodorizer and special bags are an extravagance but make life so much simpler. It's hard to believe but I've actually invited friends over to see the new addition to my kitchen --- it's gotten rave reviews! The lid opening is beyond smooth. Having a place for both trash and recyclables is handy. The price is high but I'm worth it and I'm confident that the quality and sturdiness of the product makes it likely to last for a very long time.

I purchased the dual trash/recycle can, 16 gallons. It arrived in perfect condition and was wrapped excellently. I’ve only had it for a week, and I would prefer to give a review in six months after I actually have time to use it, but as a one week review I can tell you this – I suggest purchasing the bags that were made to fit the bins, as they are Square shaped instead of rectangular. If you use store-bought bags, you’ll have to work to fit the top edge of the bag down around the rim of the liner bin. Secondly, because the circumference of the inside bin is square you must make sure your items get in the bag – don’t toss them in because you might miss the bag. I don’t care for the back compartment for the bags as it is kind of a pain in the neck to get to, but it’s not the end of the world. These bins don’t hold as much as my old simple human can, therefore, I am changing my trash much more frequently. Heads up – there is no liner bin for the trash side of the can - there is only a removable bin for the recycling items. We fill our recycling items quickly, and even though we crush them down it really fills fast. This blue liner bin has a nice handle to help lift itself out of the can, and it washes easily. The foot pedal is nice and long so you don’t have to stand directly in front of the can too push on it with your foot. It closes so softly (which I’m not used to) that you don’t hear it and I keep catching myself turning back to see if it actually closed. Makes me feel foolish! I do suggest keeping the can an inch or two away from the wall. I tried flush against the wall but then the lid doesn’t automatically close every time. The finish on the outside of the can is very nice and so far I have had no smudges.Other than the individual bins not holding as much refuse than my old trash can I have no complaints – and that is not really a complaint because the size was stated in the description.It looks sharp, works as described, I think it’s a little pricey, but if it lasts as long as my old one (nine years and still going) then it’s worth every penny. I would definitely recommend this far. We will see what happens in six weeks, six months, or longer.

I replaced my cheaper dual compartment trash/recycling can with this and I am very happy with it. The foot pedal is very sturdy, the compartments are of good size, and I appreciate the deodorizer. The trashbag dispenser is also convenient. It is expensive, but used so often. I recommend this trash can to anyone hesitant. Yes, cheaper ones can do the job, but I believe this trash can is worth the price because it seems durable and even somewhat luxurious.

Love having the recycling on one side and garbage on the other. Saves me time going outside to the recycling bin every day - just when I need to empty it. While the garbage side is small, it suits our needs. I would recommend this, even though it is pricey. I would also get the garbage bags that fit - very strong, they do hold a lot. I like the smaller size.

It’s expensive, but it’s so worth it. I looked for a trash can for legit almost 4 months. There was only one trash can that came close to this, but the quality was much worse for the price. This trashcan was by far the nicest looking, and most well built one I’ve found. Simplehuman is expensive but they make really nice looking stuff. It comes with a warranty, and they also sell replacement parts. It’s very well built and great quality. Over a year now and through a move it looks new. I Ended up buying a second one for recycling too.Edit: About 2 years and the trash can still look and functions like new. I sometimes will force close it and I used to actually lug this up my stairs to throw cat litter in it from 3 boxes. Would have upto probably 10- 20 lbs cat litter in it, lugging down the stairs. I accidentally smacked it against my wood post. Use it as a main now and it looks and functions as brand new.

This trashcan is a very useful size and shape. The foot petal is sturdy and can be pressed at any angle. The Q bags that fit in the back are a must. Best trash bags I've had also. Bags for Easily and perfectly in the can. Easy to pull and replace. I was very stressed and frustrated about all different trashbins until I came across this one. I've never spent more then $20 on a kitchen trashcan until this one. I have zero regrets about that. Completely satisfied. I seriously do not have anything bad to say about this can.
