Review: One of My Best Purchases Ever! - I struggled for years with cheap trash cans in my kitchen. The last one was white plastic, so cheaply made that the popup mechanism on the lid broke so it opened when the front pedal was depressed but didn't close itself. Forget about being hands-free! After the cheapo can slid out from my foot and fell over, I had had enough. I jumped on desertcart to find the best trash can I possibly could, and I was successful. This trash can simply rocks. It is heavy enough to stay in place. The soft-close lid works like a charm. The pedal is heavy-duty and will last a very long time. The whole inner plastic can is easy to work with and makes removing and replacing trash bags easy. Finally, it looks amazing! I never thought that my kitchen decor would be improved by a trash can, but this one did it. It it perfect? Close. There are a couple of things that could be improved. The lid-locking sliding button on my unit cannot be put into place by opening the lid all the way with the pedal and then sliding it into the locking position. I found that I have to slightly push the lid backward for the sliding lock to go fully into place. Then when the pedal is released, the lid stays fully out of the way when trash bags are removed and replaced. I also found that traditional trash bags from the store cannot fit onto the inner trash can without seriously stretching them. It takes some muscle. It means that children and the elderly may not be able to change the trash bag if using typical tall kitchen trash bags. I took the easy way out of this situation by ordering trash bags specifically for the trash can from the manufacturer (simplehuman). Because there are quite a few of the sample bags sent with the trash can, it took me weeks to run out of them. I found them to be quite superior to everyday trash bags because they are folded and not rolled, very easy to open and use, and they appear to be more durable than conventional trash bags. I am very satisfied with the trash bags and especially the trash can. This product is clearly more expensive than other trash cans, but it is very worth the cost and quite stylish. It may be one of the only utilitarian items in your kitchen that you frequently get compliments on.
Review: Modern functional Trash Bin - Slim modern design fits nicely in a kitchen corner. Sturdy dual containers make disposal of garbage and recycling easy in one area. Size is sufficent for 1 bag between trash pickups. This was a replacement for one purchased in 2017. You won't regret this purchase and get the special bags. Never had a bag failure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Ultimate Trash Can!
*by N***H on August 23, 2025*

The ultimate trash can! *Love that the lid closes softly - not with a bang. *The lid also has a lock to keep it open, if you need that at any time; just make sure that the lid is an inch or 2 from the wall for the lock to engage. (The lock is a small orange-colored sliding button on the right side near the hinge, when the lid is open.) * The finish is great - brushed silver that’s ionized so that it doesn’t pick up fingerprints & smudges. * The pedal works silently, and easily. * The bags are great - this model uses the Q size bags. The description shows size H, but Q is the correct size. * This trash can is sturdy & heavy in its shipping box. Open the box top, look down inside to find the pedal, then lower the box on the side that does NOT have the pedal, to a floor that has carpeting on it, and slide the can out. Set it upright. It has wheels that roll forwards & backwards. * Simple to install & remove the bags. The inner can has a tilt feature - pull it up a few inches & tilt it forward - it will stay in that position for removing the bag or installing a new one. Or, you can remove the entire inner can.
