simplehuman 30 Liter / 8 Gallon Stainless Steel Butterfly Lid Kitchen Step Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel

I had a can similar to this one by Simple Human for about 25 years. A plastic part failed which made that can unusable. The new can I just got by Simple Human I notice has replaced that plastic part with metal. I love this can.

Fluid motion, sturdy, cleans up perfectly. The simplehuman liners are easy and sturdy, but store-bought 13 gal kitchen trash bags also work well (we've used both). Our last simplehuman step can was a hand-me-down that we used heavily for 16 years; it's been retired to the laundry room, but still works well after all these years and 4 interstate moves. I look forward to this one also lasting for years and years!

Love this simple human trash can! Fantastic brand, you wont regret buying this!

Nice quality

This is our second simplehuman can. We find the design a clean way to store recyclables and/or trash until pick-up day! Looks nice in the kitchen compared to hiding an open tub inside cabinet.

We've finally replaced our old simple human round step can (which still performs admirably, even after over 15 years of daily use) with thi one, which fits it the space better, and tends not to pivot like the round one does. It has a tight footprint, seals in odors, and the interior bucket keeps any mess from the mechanism. You can prop the lid open at need. Lid closure is slow and quiet. The opening is more narrow than we are accustomed to, and the ends of the flaps when open look a bit pointy, but those are the only concerns. All in all, it's exactly what we wanted: a capacious can for some narrow real estate.

This is a great addition to our kitchen! It's nice to look at and so easy to use! Who knew that using a trash can could be such a pleasant experience?

The trash can works perfectly fine. However, the opening & closing doors are much looser than they were in past models. So there's some squeaking going on that's a bit annoying.

I needed a smaller than normal trashcan due to a low countertop, so I thought the butterfly opening would be good. Two issues: 1. There are two lid stoppers in the back which are hard to get to, but each does basically the same thing so not sure why there are two. Regardless, the black rubber stopper came off and is lost the day we got it. 2. The step button to open the lids is very precise from the very front and is very sharp on the sides. So being barefoot, it hurts each time.

I ordered this trash can twice and both times it arrived with numerous dents. The dents are visible as soon as I took the can out of the box. I can't believe this bad condition when the can is $150. It seems like a good design, but totally not worth it if it's damaged.
