Dont get it
Have had this trash can and it’s been a nuisance. Lid constantly pops off and as your repop it back on continuously, damaged the insertion and now I’ve got a useless overpriced trash can.

Lid Pops Off
The lid pops off all the time. It got to the point where I can’t even put it back on. If you’re looking for something to last more than a year, this isn’t it.

lid is defective
The lid pops off easy and ended up broken within a month of use. I do not recommend this one since the lid broke so fast.

Love this trash can
It fits perfectly in my space. I’ve owned this can for about 9 years. I’m getting ready to purchase another one as a back up. And the price is fantastic!

2nd Generation Trash Can
I love this trash can! Our grand dog can get into anything EXCEPT this. It's a good size (30 gallon), slim design, and soft close lid. I also appreciate the fact that the can can be left unlocked for everyday use.

Cheaply made!
The lid broke off within a couple of days. Not sturdy enough to roll smoothly from bedroom to laundry room just a few feet away. If not completely balanced laundry, it tips badly. Very disappointed! I'm disabled with little arm strength & thought the wheels would be so helpful, but unfortunately that's not the case, at least not for me.

Great for apartments
I like the streamlined shape and size of this waste container. It holds a lot, but doesn’t look enormous.

Narrow and Perfect
The size is perfect. This is a great trashcan if you have a narrow space and is hidden out of the way.

Second pair we've purchased
First pair lasted over 10 years, looked a bit tired and a damping piston mounting got broken. So good we bought some more. Great size and easy to clean. Well worth the money. Very highly recommended from us.

I wouldn't buy again.
I like the look, but the lid continually falls off. I'd like my money back. I've only had it about 3 months. Simple Human is expensive and expected better.

Nope
The lid keeps coming off from the hinge. It’s like the metal piece for the lid opener pedal is to short. Comes apart multiple times a week

Very spacious
Cleverly designed for small spaces. I'm really loving the slide lock lid in-between emptying to trap smells. Works great with the orb deodorisers.

Wastebasket
This item was a good size but just a little small on the interior size. I think the shape and style was great…I always purchase Simple Human items because their quality and good reputation. I got the white model and it was a good ‘white white’.

Great for the price
I like that it's a bit slender so it fits perfect in a spot in my kitchen with out being in the way... I had the same brand and style that lasted me 15 years so I bought another one hopefully to last me just as long.... I like that now when you open it with the foot petal it has a slow soft closure...Nice! Great price with Target which beat Amazon by a bit and even got it sooner then expected...
