- Stainless steel liner rim flips up for a quick and easy liner change, then closes over the liner to hold it tightly in place and keep it hidden from sight.
- The strong steel pedal is engineered to last over 150,000 steps — that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.
- The patented lid shox® technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close.
Description
This slim step can has a space-efficient shape that fits perfectly in tight spots, like between cabinets. The stainless steel liner rim lifts up for easy access to the liner, then closes to grip and keep it neatly out of sight. The strong steel pedal is built to last, and lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time.

I like this trash can because it is slim and fits in my small, narrow kitchen. I like how heavy the lid on the top of the trash can covers the bag liner around the side of the bin. The lid also has some weight to it, preventing my cats from opening the lid themselves.

Amazing garbage can
I really love it, slim and takes advantage of space. I would only change the closure hinge on thee to be metal as plastic brakes easily.

Good quality but very light weight and pricey
I would say good quality and nice shape. However, the bin is very light weight which means it always moves and displaces. At least they put something rubber underneath so that it doesn’t move. Also, also, I find it pricey.

Great bin! Highly recommended
Perfect size to fit in an awkward corner in our kitchen. Pedal works well - like the slow close feature and the slim, but large opening. Gorgeous colour - looks very stylish in our kitchen.

Highly recommend this bin.
We were on holiday and the apartment had a Simply Human bin which impressed us as easy to use, stylish and very functional. As we needed a new bin at home we bought one for our kitchen and we are pleased with our purchase. Highly recommend this bin.

Super
I hate kitchen bins, I hate the smell but thought I’d give one another try. I am pleasantly surprised that I like this one, it stays clean and does not smell. I have bought the recommended bags to go with it and I like that they fit perfectly. All in all I’m very happy with the product and have been converted!

I’d been looking a long time for a new bin. This bin is the perfect size for the space I had. I did find it a little tricky to fit the lid but a minor issue.

It white Plastic Trash can
I don’t know how good the trash can is( so I don’t want to ruin the function review , hence the 4 star) but I will return it because it turned out to have a plastic body. You’d think the description would tell you somewhere that the trash can is white plastic!

Great bin but can be a pain to put new bags in
Great bin. Large peddle and big opening. However to replace the bag you have to manually lift the inner case and try and put the bag in with the other hand. If the rim is dirty, you end up having it on your hands. There should be a hands free option. The bin is better than the previous one with the wheels which kept dislocating the lid and kept moving backwards.
