Review: Bought Again — Great Quality - I have had this trash can before in black, and it lasted about 4 years. It recently broke where the lid is attached after too much pressure was applied on top, so I decided to purchase the same one again, this time in gray. It looks great and fits well in the kitchen. The quality is solid, and it performs its function very well. The 40-liter size is just right for a family of four. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
Review: Very nice kitchen trash can - This is a very nice, basic kitchen trash can. It simply does its job and looks nice as well. I replaced a much more expensive stainless steel can that was hard to clean, dented easily and was broken. It uses a standard trash can bag. It has a nice soft close feature and the lid can be locked as you see fit. I didn’t base my review on this but the shipping container was very sturdy and the trash can arrived in perfect condition.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dog proof and fabulous!!!
*by C***R on February 7, 2016*

Got a dog that will get into the trash? My husband passed away, and he was much adored by my two Australian shepherds. Because I lived in such a remote location, I took up temporary residence on my son's farm in an apartment. My housekeeper remained at my main residence for three months, and my dogs loved her as well. The move to the farm was traumatic for them. They'd lost Dad and their beloved friend who had loved them so well. They became very aggressive about acting out, chewing on woodwork, tearing open overnight bags, and strewing garbage all over the place. I have one incredibly clever Aussie who can open any door he sets his mind to open, sometimes even when they are locked with a drop-down bolt. If I left them alone for even thirty minutes, I came home to kitchen garbage strewn from one end of the house to another. To be fair, these dogs had never done things like this until grief assailed them. But I knew I needed something bulletproof for my kitchen garbage while they adjusted to a whole new world. I found this Simple Human trash can, with a lock-down lid. I figured my clever dog would figure it out. But when it arrived, I even needed a trial session to figure it out. Once I did, it was easy to unlock. Boy, did it ever take care of the strewn trash! My Simple Human trash can might have been knocked over and pushed into the living room when I came home, but not one trace of garbage was outside of it. All I had to do was put the garbage can back where it belonged. No mess on the floor, period, and the can has no sharp edges to damage anything when it's shoved by a doggie nose. I stayed home all year, even so, making my necessary trips to town as brief as possible. My dogs needed one person who didn't leave, and they got over their grief in time. They had done nothing naughty for months. But then my housekeeper, dearly loved, unexpectedly found another job that better suited her, and not that long after, I had a prescheduled trip abroad to see my son. I knew it would hit my dogs hard when I suddenly disappeared and left them with a new caregiver, even though it had been over a year. And, oh, yes, they were naughty while I was away. I'm sure they felt frantic. The last anchor in their lives had vanished, and I was gone for a month. They'd been so good for so long that I didn't think to tell the new caregiver about the lock on the garbage can lid. She endured daily trash attacks while I was gone. When I got home, she and I made a trip into town together and left the dogs alone. Before we left, I locked the lid of this trash can. When we got home, it was pushed into another room, and my clever dog had figured out kind-of, sort-of how the lock worked. But all his efforts went for naught. The trash can will forever bear the marks of his teeth gouging the plastic and metal near the locking mechanism, but the trash can prevailed. My evaluation of this trash can: It holds nearly as much as a wider and more space-stealing trash can. Regular tall kitchen garbage bags fit it nicely It rolls around easily for sink-side tossing when you are peeling and dicing. The lid stands up for that, making it easy. It wipes down easily on the outside to keep it looking great The foot pedal lift works great for easy opening of the lid It's very attractive, as trash cans go It is stable and doesn't tip over unless a big dog tackles it I think a Rottie or Pit Bull could manage, with enough time, to chew part of the lid off, but it would require some time, and for most dogs, it is impervious to teeth. (Mine will always bear barely noticeable scars, right around the slide lock because my dog is so smart, but the can still looks nice.) My ending recommendation is that I've never owned a better, dog-proof trash can. I love it so much I even got one for my son.
