simplehuman 50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can with Secure Slide Lock, Black Plastic

The trash can itself works wonderfully. It looks and feels durable, has a very sturdy pedal, and rests beautifully against the wall. Regular kitchen trash bags (the flex kind) grip very well and don’t need any kind of band to hold the bag. (I’d imagine any 13-gallon bag would be fine because of the shape of the mouth of the can.) this makes it easy to take the trash out. The lock on the front is very helpful for keeping a small 10-pound dog out, and that feature was the reason we bought it. I was hoping my dog would lose interest because of the lid AND the lock. No such luck—I’m not sure how he got the can all the way across the kitchen while I was at work, but the lock held tight, and even after being (possibly) kicked around the kitchen, the can looks great. The lock will definitely not be released by a dog or a child; it takes a bit or force and dexterity of force to unlatch it. It’s not as difficult as it sounds, though. I’d definitely recommend this can if you’re looking for a sturdy and attractive trash can that gets the job done. Just don’t forget to lock it before you leave if you have a crazy pup! This is a replacement for a 20+ year old trash can of a different brand, so we just wanted something basic—with a little upgrade. This fits the bill.

Finally! My dog can no longer get in my trash can! My dog is very smart. She can open cupboards, doors, etc. Which was a problem because she ate out of the garbage can constantly. No matter where we put it! It was the worst! Out of desperation, we bought this trash can, drawn to the locking lid feature. We were not disappointed! She can’t get in the can at all. It’s so sturdy and heavy duty, she can’t knock it over or get the lid open. We don’t even use the locking feature, and she still can’t get in. I literally don’t worry about her getting in the garbage at all anymore! No matter how appealing the garbage is that I put in the trash, I know she won’t get it. 100% worth it! My quality of life has improved drastically! haha But even if you don’t have a dog problem, this is a great garbage can. The foot pedal is awesome, it’s super durable, it contains smells, cleans easily, doesn’t stain, holds garbage bags well, and is the perfect size for staying out of the way up against a wall but still being a good size. Look no further for a great garbage can!

Honestly at 30 I get so excited over things like trash cans and toilet seats lol but seriously this trash can is so nice it’s plastic so I think it will hold up better I’ve had many stainless steel ones in the past and feel like they get dented quite easily. It has a nice foot petal that feels very sturdy. Also didn’t even realize their was a wall bumper on the back of the can that you pull up and it keeps it the correct distance from the wall as well as keeping your wall safe from food particles, dings, etc very lovely little feature. Would purchase again! Also it opens quickly but the slow close feature is excellent it works well and I don’t have to worry about my kids getting their fingers smashed! Also holds a lot of trash seems quite thick for a plastic can also. Love it!

This was my first simplehuman trash can and I'm VERY impressed. I have other products by them that have always delivered but I didn't know what to expect from the trash can since I haven't had much luck with other brands in the past. The can is sturdy with a thicker plastic and very durable. I love the quiet soft close lid and the wider foot pedal. The lid has a lock but I don't use it since I don't have little ones anymore or pets. However, if you do, this would be very helpful. The trashcan has a "guard" on the back which allows the can to sit an inch or two from the wall--I love this! My favorite feature of all is the NON-SLIP bags. I've always had this issue with other can I've used in the past, and I absolutely hate it. But This was my first simplehuman trash can and I'm VERY impressed. I have other products by them that have always delivered but I didn't know what to expect from the trash can since I haven't had much luck with other brands in the past. The can is sturdy with a thicker plastic and very durable. figured it out, and now I don't have to worry about this anymore. I purchased their liners but have not used them yet, I have a large box of Kirkland 13 gallon bags from Costco which fits perfectly and I've had no issues with the bags slipping. Although the bags hug the rim, they're still easy to remove. Overall, I love this trash can and would purchase another from simplehuman in the future if needed.

So, funny story. I bought this because my husky somehow BROKE my other trash can by stepping on the pedal too hard while the lid was locked. And he did that because he wanted to dig for trash. He also has a bad habit of knocking over trash cans to get into them. So my solution was to buy a trash can with sturdier lid locking mechanism, and to place 2 heavy bricks on the bottom of it. So far, so good! He hasn't knocked this one over. Anyway, onto the product. Pros: - Aesthetically, the design is nice. - Silent lid operation. Now this one surprised me. I didn't even know the trash can had this feature until I tried it out and the lid gently closed down. Amazing. No more funky smells getting aired out as the lid closes. Plus it just seems so.. elegant. - The slide lock is super strong. Like, almost too secure. See cons list for more details. - Good quality. I was afraid my bricks would eventually damage it, but I've had this trash can for awhile now and it's holding up just fine. Cons: - Price. Well, you can also see it as an investment in quality I guess. - Might have to experiment with different trash bags to get the right fit for the unique shape. - The slide lock is difficult to push and pull. It makes it super secure, but dang does it make a loud sound when I slide it shut! And to get it open I can't just use one hand (not even with the bricks weighing the trash can down). I have to hold the trash can with my other hand to slide the lock open or else I'll just drag the entire trash can. That's how secure it is. - While it seems like the trash can will fit nicely against walls, you actually have to leave some space for the lid. When the lid opens, it pushes the wall and the trash can outwards if you don't leave some space between the trash can and the wall. I hope the product team will deal with this eventually. Still, in comparison to other brands, which I've had my fair share of experience with, this one truly stands out. I've tried those with motion sensors, and while they feel futuristic, nothing beats the reliability of a simple step mechanism. Plus, those sensors can get finicky and don’t even get me started on battery replacements.

I luv my new garbage can. Honestly when I first got it I was very unimpressed. I then took all the stickers off and got to know it and it is really well made and very simple and intuitive, yes intuitive. The lid when it auto lowers is quiet and smooth and it can be locked when kids or animals are around as well as having the option of opening the lid by hand. I especially luv the back bar that sits up against the wall so the lid will never hit the wall because you aren’t playing guessing guess. Furthermore for as lightweight as it is, it is stable which really impresses me. The standard 13 gallon bag fits snuggly on without coming off the top lip in the bucket. The price is great the one this replaced had a bigger price tag. And lastly, I need you to sit down for this one. I got the indigo blue,,, AND IT MATCHES MY BLUE HYACINTH MACAW,,,mic drop GREAT PRODUCT

Never thought I’d write a review on a trash can, but this one is special! We have a 13 year old Border Collie that came to us with a taste for trash. This. Can fits a 13 gallon bag perfectly. It has a slide-lock that keeps the dog out even if it gets knocked over. If you choose to open the lid manually it stays open until you choose to close it. An exceptional product!

We had first looked at the auto-sensing trash bins (we are technology buffs), but since our bin sits next to our pantry door we figured a sensor would "auto-open" every time we opened the pantry door itself. Glad we decided on this instead, since it is a perfect balance of style, price, and function. About 2 other reviewer's comments: I read another reviewer's post about "13 gallon bags not fitting" but we've tried several brands and they all fit just fine. Currently we buy a huge roll of standard trash bags from target for $4 and have no issues. I will say that you do have to stretch the top 1/2" to fit the bag over the rim, but I believe that is by design because it holds there perfectly. The bags never tear at the rim, and the bags never sag into the can. Another reviewer also said the top of the lid flopped about every time they pressed the pedal down, and would never close correctly. I think this is because, when the can arrives it is already connected to the base via the lifting bar that extends up the back from the pedal. What the other reviewer failed to realize (most likely), is that the lid still has two clips on it that need to be snapped into place once you receive it. Once attached properly it functions perfectly. About the Can: - Price - $49.99 is well worth it. - Color Combos - We got the cappuccino color ... super nice for a trash bin. - Wide Pedal - good for ease of use. - Locking Lid - we don't have cats, but I read another review that said this was the only cat proof lock they found that worked. We have an infant so I am sure this will come in handy later when she is reaching height. - Slow Motion Lid - Great little feature .... when you open the lid and let off the pedal the lid very calmly and slowly closes quietly in slow motion. Most cans have lids that just slam shut (and burst some stinky air while at it), but this one is very pleasant. I hadn't thought of this feature until seeing it on this can, now I will make sure to check for it in the future. 2 Things: ** We had another couple over for dinner recently and they saw the can and it's "slow motion" lid. They were so impressed they went on amazon and bought the black one, haha. How may times have you ever been able to tell a story like that about a trash can? **** Lowe's sells the same can for the same price, but we are Amazon Prime members so we prefer to order online since shipping is free, and that also let's us skip the drive and sales tax =) 5 STARS

Es perfecto. Resistente, elegante y práctico. La tapa baja sola lentamente. Tiene un cierre de seguridad que viene muy bien cuando tienes hijos.

Item came without a lid. After waiting for a week, it is pretty disappointing.

Ok

ET surtout moins cher que d'autres homolgues pour un cahier des charges parfaitement respecté. Je ne sais pas à combien se vendent les sacs simple human, mais ce format me permet de trouver des sacs standards dans le commerce convenant parfaitement, à la différence de brabantia par exemple. Sa forme me permet de la loger dans un coin à côté du plan de travail sans manger trop d'espace. Entièrement plastique, ce dernier est de bonne facture, rigide et facile à laver, les odeurs partent. Ayant trois chats à la maison, le clapet de sécurité est appréciable au grand dam de mes 3 canailles. La fermeture lente est un plus également, la pédale a l'air résistante, seul le temps validera ou non cette impression. Dans l'ensemble c'est pour moi un poubelle haut de gamme en termes de fonctionnalité et praticité. Sobre, elle n'est pas très "design" comme d'autres. Reste à savoir si vous voulez une "poubelle d'apparat" avec souvent la contrainte de devoir utiliser les sacs onéreux de la marque et que vous êtes prêts à débourser la différence à l'achat et à l'usage

Looks good, but the design of the lid is such that sells get out. Also the lid and the inside bottom of the container have too many ridges and nooks so cleaning will not be quick. So I feel that simplehuman mission statement is just marketing not an actual design approach.
