simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic

Looks and works great! I thought I needed to keep buying “special” bags, but the regular 13 gallons fit well. The lid opens easily. I changed from a stainless steel bin to this one (plastic), and it was the best decision. So easy to clean and the gray tone matches my stainless appliances. Its shape is perfect as it holds the 13 gallon bag, but without being bulky. The wheels make it easy to move around.

Perfect for our needs. Slim, easy to use, functional. You can open the lid either by lifting it up or by using the step. It’s quiet. Regular 13 gallon trash bags work.

We have had this garbage can for about a month now, and I love it! My favorite feature is the pedal combined with the gentle-close lid; this feature not only makes it convenient for when you don't have a free hand to lift the lid, it also means my almost-three-year-old can operate it easily as well. So far he has been great about only using it when we give him something to put in the trash, but in case he ever starts to get a little overzealous, it also has a lock that slides into place on the lid where the silver handle is located. It is slim and not unattractive, which is saying something for a trash can I think. It fits the 13-gallon trash bags we use (Glad brand, I think?). This trash can replaced a dumpy looking little blue swing top lid trash can (either 7 or 10 gallon size), that forever required me to clean the lid and sides because it collected dirt and grime with nearly every use. Not only does the design of this trash can mean that it doesn't really collect dirt and grime on the outside (love the pedal lid lift!), but the black color means that if it does, it won't look disgusting right away, giving me a few days or even a week or more between wipe-downs. Honestly, I would love the Cadillac version of this trash can, but since my budget won't allow me to spend over $100 on a trash can, I will "settle" for this awesome trash can (haha, I can't really call this "settling," since it is the nicest trash can I have owned!). Since we've only had it a month, I can't really say anything about how sturdy it is, other than to say that it seems like it will last well into my old age (I'm 45 now), and it comes with a 5 year warranty - you just register it on the web site (super easy!). Even my Breville Toaster Oven doesn't come with a 5 year warranty! Heck, I'm not sure that much else with moving parts comes with a 5 year warranty these days... EDIT: it's now April 2022 and this trash can is still holding up nicely. The silver on the handle has worn a little, but it doesn't look terrible. This was definitely a good purchase.

This is a pretty decent trash can! It's a bit on the expensive side, but Simplehuman seems to make really nice stuff that lasts a while. This one is definitely not as good as the 13 gallon semi-round one I have as my regular kitchen trash can, but it works as a recycling can. The metal foot pedal feels nice and sturdy, and the lock function works well. I do have a few gripes with it though. First, standard 13 gallon kitchen bags can only *sort of* work in this can. I assume it's so that you buy their proprietary bags, but absolutely no way am I paying the upcharge for their stupid special trash bags. Second, it tends to scoot around a lot. I keep it up against a wall, and using it with the foot pedal makes it scoot side to side a bit the more you use it. I assume it's because of the wheels on the back, but it's kind of annoying. Last, the lid feels a little flimsy and kinda flops around when you open the can. It seals and works with the slide lock, but it's not the same level of quality I'm used to from my bigger can. Overall, I'd only recommend this can if you need something that fits in a tight space. I was thinking it would work well as a secondary recycling can with the bigger one as my normal trash can, but I honestly should've just spent a bit extra and gotten the nicer one. For slim cans though, this is a pretty good one.

A PERFECT SIZE TO FIT UNDER MY KITCHEN COUNTER. REGULAR 13 GALLON TIE BAGS WORK GREAT. JUST ADD A LITTLE STRETCH TO THE BAG AND IT HOLDS IN PLACE PERFECTLY. THE LID HAS A LOCKING LATCH TO KEEP THE PETS OUT OF THE GARBAGE. THE FOOT PEDAL WORKS GREAT. I LOVE THE SLIM SIZE, SINCE IT TAKES UP LESS SPACE. IT IS A PERFECT FIT AT THE END OF MY COUNTER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!

If you have a trash panda like me you need this! Day 3 and it's only been a disappointment for her! I have went through a couple different trash cans and even baby latches. Yes to no avail they didn't work and she ate them. The lid is smooth. The locking mechanism works just fine and it stays locked until you unlock it. The price is affordable. I went for this cheaper version cause im on a budget. The quality is just fine. I would definitely recommend this product!

This kept my doodle from dumpster diving! Great find!
