simplehuman Butterfly Step Can, 30L / 8 Gallon Compact Kitchen Trash Can, Low Cabinet Clearance, Slim Profile, 150,000-Step Pedal, Lid Shox® Silent Close, Brushed Stainless Steel

I had an earlier version of this can -- I think the only difference is that the older one had a black plastic lid. It cost an outrageous amount when I bought it about 8 years ago, but I'd forgotten how exorbitant these things are until the tabs on the lids broke off and we had to buy a new one.* It's far more expensive, and far more beautiful, than any trash can has a right to be. As much of a splurge as this is, it's so worth it if it's going anywhere where anyone will see it. Because let me tell you, this thing is gorgeous in person. The quality is as obvious not only when you look at it, but when you use it. It just doesn't make sense to furnish your kitchen beautifully, carefully select the countertop material, the faucet, the sink, etc, and then cheap out on a plastic monstrosity from Wally World that'll get stained in a gross rainbow of uncleanable browns after a few months of use. This lovely item will hold its beauty for at least 8 years of hard use -- ours certainly did -- and it works whisper-quietly, closing with surgical precision that muffles virtually all kitchen-waste stench. I do have one complaint. The item comes with sample "simplehuman" kitchen trash bags. They're lovely, but why on earth would I buy them when I can get excellent trash bags at Costco for a fraction of the price? Well, (they're probably hoping), because regular tall kitchen can bags are a little shallow for this can. They fit fine, but they're a bit "short-sheeted" -- they don't quite reach the bottom of the can. Nevertheless, they work okay, and that's what we use. Maybe you can recoup a bit of the exorbitant cost that way too... *After dealing with simplehuman recently to get replacement parts for an old item of theirs, I have since realized that I could probably have simply bought replacement lids and kept the old can, and saved a C-note. Oh well. Perhaps someone reading this can learn from my mistake.

It's a garbage can and it's expensive. However, it is unique and excellent quality. Looks and performs better and smoother than anything similar. Completely pet proof since there is no lip for noses to get under to flip up to get access to the contents. This was the main reason we wanted to try this can. The lid is flush, fits perfectly, and there are little thoughtful details that you didn't know would be helpful. We also have the dry food dog can which was also expensive, but we never regretted our purchase. It has been a couple of years, and performs as it did from day one. Also very high quality, with thoughtful important details not available with similar products.

First, I must say that I almost never write product reviews but this trash can is amazing and has saved me from having to clean up after my dog every day or keeping the garbage can on a kitchen counter so that he couldn't get to it! I never wanted to spend over $ 100.00 for a garbage can, but I have to tell you it is worth every penny. I had ordered the 10 gallon model but found it was too big for a New York City sized kitchen, so I returned it and purchased the 8 gallon model, which is the perfect size for my kitchen. It is very attractive looking, sleek and modern and does not leave fingerprints. The butterfly mechanism opens very easily by the foot pedal and it's even a kick to watch it close so smoothly with no noise when you take your foot off the pedal. My dog can't figure out the pedal (he is a 25 lb. Shiba Inu), nor can he figure out how to open the can from the top. Also, it is heavy enough, that he can't knock it over. I suppose bigger dogs may try, but in that case I would buy the bigger model of this garbage can. I have owned it for three weeks and it's a joy to leave left-overs, papers, and other debris in the can until it is full and not worry that the contents will be dragged all over the kitchen and living room. All I can say folks, is that I am so pleased with this purchase and am thrilled it was able to solve the problem with my dogs "garbage hunting" habits. I say don't hesitate to purchase this, I don't think you will be sorry.

This is by far the favorite can of trash we've had in our family, and we've had a few. I remember when I used to walk up hill to school in the snow and Simple Human just made a name for themselves in the store that shall not be named. Not Beyond Beds and Baths or Baths Beyond the Bed, but the other one. Most of those trash cans are still in use somewhere else in the house, but when we acquired an Australian Shepherd Poodle Mix (Shephoodle) the old designs proved to be worthless for keeping out nosy dogs. She could easily lift the edge of a trash can with her nose and pretend she was an elderly quadruped in line at Western Sizzlin'. After cleaning up the resulting mess more than once it was time to shop for a new trash can. The Butterfly Lid Simplehuman came to the top of the usual search results, and sorting by review seemed to solidify the choice. Durability remains to be seen, but so far the dog has not gotten in this one, the action is smooth, it looks great and the kids fingerprints don't show up nearly as much as other stainless objects in the kitchen. Capacity for the 30 gallon is adequate. Removing the trash bag once it's compacted from a few days of use is a bit of a challenge for our 3 year old, so I let our 12 year old take out the trash for now. My 3 year old is currently on a regimen of light weight and high reps and should be ready to take over trash duty in a few months. As for the dog, she read the manual for the trash can the day I opened it (Didn't realize she could read then.), but she doesn't have the weight to push down on the foot pedal yet. Ha! Take that smart dog. The cans a winner. A bit steep in price, but certainly dog proof at this point. Again, the 30 liter size is fine for our family of 4, but that may be because our Cockatiel Macaw Parrot mix (Cockacaw) taught us about composting. Thanks Rocky! Good luck in your quest for a trash can, and give this one a try before brushing it off due to the cost. Should reliability prove inadequate I will post a follow-up to this review.

Love it love it love it 😍

Looks great. It's narrower than my other can and fits in the spot. Works well, easy too open and looks good. My only complaint is that the can uses a rather unusual insert and one is encouraged to use their proprietary bags. the standard larger bags from the major companies work ok, but they require a tuck at the top to make it snug. Not a big deal, but adds a little extra effort to save money on the basic bag. So,great can, not thrilled with the need to buy the bags from simplehuman for the best fit. Everything should be universal..

It seems like other people are not such a fan of the butterfly lid but I specifically chose this for the butterfly lid. Why you might ask? It doesn't seem like that important of a detail you might think? First of all, the butterfly lid cuts down on how much clearance space you need above the trash can. Which makes it ideal for sticking it in small spots. Second of all, the problem I've always had with regular step cans, is that the lid would move backwards thus leaving a line on the wall. Partly because of flimsy cans (hitting it against the wall repeatedly would make the hinge break) and partly because the trash can always seemed to get so very dirty (they had a lip on them that touched the trash bag). So the butterfly lid actually takes away two of those problems, there's not a line on my wall any more, and I can put more things above the can. The sturdy design of the trash can and its height means that the cat can't get into it. The fact that the ugly trash bag is hidden (thank heavens someone finally thought of that) is beautiful and also means that the cat can't play with the trash bag. Its SO fingerprint proof (which is the other reason to buy SimpleHuman) it looks as beautiful as the day it came. The design is clean and elegant, not a bit out of place and not a part unnecessary or sticking out. I love this trash can so much. Its exorbitant but it also has a 10 year warranty (Register it!!) and is worth EVERY PENNY for not having to buy a new trash can because the cheap ones keep breaking.. Every few years or so.

Buen tamaño y funcionalidad

E' un oggetto molto bello a vedersi, non sembra nemmeno un secchio della spazzatura. Elegante il meccanismo di apertura ad ali del coperchio, comodissima l'apertura a pedale quando si hanno le mani occupate. Semplice da pulire e semplice anche da cambiare il sacchetto dell'immondizia. Costicchia un po' però se uno vuole inserirlo in un ambiente elegante e moderno sono tutti soldi ben spesi.

Excellent dog proof bin

La verdad es que estoy muy contenta con el producto por que ocupa poco espacio y es fácil de limpiar. El acero antihuellas es de verdad y simplemente hace falta que le pases un trapo húmero para limpiarlo si se te cae algo en la superfície. Algo a comentar es que además de las bolsas oficiales (que son un poco caras) encontramos unas en el carrefour para cubos altos que funcionan bastante bien (no he encontrado otras que vayan tan bien en otros supermercados) Lo único negativo que puedo comentar es que el primer cubo que me enviaron tenía varios golpes y la superficie vino mal, pero Amazon me realizó el cambio sin problemas y me llegó pocos días después uno en perfectas condiciones.

Après avoir longuement hésité j'ai commandé cette poubelle car hormis mes impératifs de dimensions étroites , il me fallait une poubelle que bébé n'arriverai pas à ouvrir facilement, ce qui est le cas, pour l'instant. J'ai aussi sauté sur les ventes d'occasion- reconditionné (38€) donc mon article avait 1 poc de chaque côté, mais cela ne se voit pas chez moi. C'est agréable de ne pas l'entendre quand elle se ferme. Tout est de qualité, même la pédale on sens qu'on peut y aller franco. Seul les sacs de la marque sont franchement cher, pour ma part j'y ai mis des 50L Carrefour a 2,60 les 15 parce que mes 30l n'allait pas au fond du bac amovible. Très belle poubelle (bizarre de dire ça d'une poubelle)
