About this item

  • NEAT AND SECURE - Stainless steel liner rim flips up for a quick and easy liner change, then closes over the liner to hold it tightly in place and keep it hidden from sight
  • LINER POCKET - Keep liners where you need them. Dispense them one by one — no perforations or unraveling — from inside the can for a faster liner change
  • CLEANER STAINLESS STEEL - simplehuman's invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and luster of the steel
  • STRONG WIDE STEEL PEDAL - simplehuman's extra-wide steel pedal is engineered to last 150,000 steps — that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years
  • SILENT CLOSE LID - simplehuman's patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close

Product Description

Product Description

simplehuman's stainless steel rectangular step can features an innovative 'liner pocket' that stores and dispenses liners from inside the can for a faster liner change. The stainless steel liner rim grips the liner and keeps it hidden. And with no inner bucket, there's more space for trash. Strong wide steel pedal is designed to last, and the patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time. Code M liner refill packs store perfectly in this can's liner pocket.

5 Stars
Never thought I’d spend this much on a trash can, but I’m so glad I did!
All my life I’ve used inexpensive plastic trash cans, I never thought I’d spend this much on a nice trash can. And yet here we are, I’m writing a review about how much I’m in love with a trash can.The construction is solid, and yet it’s not super heavy. The soft-open/close lid is really nice, and what’s even better is that it can sit flush against the wall and still open! I really like the built in trash bag pocket, while it’s designed to be refilled with Simplehuman’s trash bags you could easily fill it with generic bags. I also like that it doesn’t have a plastic insert inside the metal body, every plastic trash can I’ve owned wound up getting smelly over time so it’s nice to not have that problem anymore.All in all I can’t find any fault with this product. Yes it’s pricey, but realistically this is one of the most-used items in our household so it only makes sense to get a nice one!

5.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for: Quality!
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019
The thought of buying a $200 trash can kind of turned my stomach a bit but I was also tired of nice looking trash cans that wore out quickly or ugly dirty plastic ones that had no sense of style. Instead of having a nice dinner with the wife out on the town or buying some rare records I'd had my eye on, I used a bit of extra income to buy a really nice trash can. And I am thrilled with it!

This review is actually for the SECOND can of this size I bought. Last year around this time I procured the can for our kitchen and just recently bought this one for my mother. It is great because it has a nice soft close lid that doesn't spring open when you don't want it to. It is brushed metal so it looks good in just about any kitchen. We live in a mid-century modern ranch with high ceilings and an open concept while my mother lives in an early 90's suburban home that has never been updated, and in neither location does this guy look out of place. It is quietly unassuming.

Another feature I love is the built in bag holder for the trash. While it specifically houses Simplehuman-branded bags, I am a fan of these custom bags even though they cost a bit more. They fit the cans well and are exceptionally sturdy, so again, I feel I am getting value in quality even though I am paying a bit more. We are a house of two and only fill two bags a week, tops, and my mother is a widow who will probably only fill a bag every 10 days.

The recycling tote is excellent. While we live in a city with mandated recycling and a dedicated recycling trash can we keep in our garage, we just fill it up and dump the recycling right into the rollout bin in the garage and do not use the blue bags, but the tote had a handle on it like a bucket so it is an easy process of removing and putting it back. I actually wish the recycling bin was larger as we fill that up every other day, so it is constantly full. My mother on the other hand, lives in a city where recycling is optional, so I got her the SImplehuman blue bags that fit this can and she likes it because it does not get too full or heavy for her to take out on trash night on her own, but likes that she is able to recycle with out it being a messy pain.

Clearly this is a versatile trash can even in these two environments. I never thought I'd be telling friends and family to plop down $200 on a trash can, but over the past year, I continually have. It is a really well made and thought out product and worth the money!
