Guests appreciate the foot pedal for hands-free operation and the slow-close lid feature, which adds convenience.

    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’.

    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...

    This was the perfect size for where I needed it, like the black too and it fits Hefty flex black trash bags perfectly BUT the lid constantly pops off and it’s super annoying. Maybe I got a lemon?

    This is the best trash can I've ever purchased. It's been in heavy, everyday use for almost 5 years and still works amd looks like new. It has been a saving grace as we have great danes and this prevents them from making messes digging through the garbage. I've never had a garbage can last without breaking. I won't purchase any other garbage can in the future unless it is from simplehuman.

    Stacy m - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    This trashcan only worked well for a few months before the lid started falling off and will not go back on. The whole purpose of buying it was to be able to be hands-free and be able to lock it so my dogs can’t get in it. $40 junk. The last trash can was half the price and had the same components lasted many years and I only replaced due to appearance.

    Well Made Trashcan

    4 out of 5 stars
    Debi P. - 8 months ago
    originally posted on simplehuman.com
    This is my second; the first one lasted 11 years! I love the silent function, the durability. The only thing that bothers me at all is that every time the pedal is pushed, the trashcan moves backwards ever so slightly; so I have to pull it forward back into position after every few uses so it's not against the wall. If you could come up with some sort of "stopper" that could prevent this, it would be a 5 for sure!

    Lid keeps falling off. I had this same trash can for almost 10 years without any problems. Got a new one and it broke within 3 months. Can’t find a replacement lid to try. Sent a message through Simple Human website and never received a reply.

    Flimsy, unstable, and really poor design

    JPATL - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
    The picture is deceptive to what the trash can actually is. It appears to be robust, but in reality, it falls over easily. It's cheap plastic. Trash goes everywhere. See that silver/gray piece on the top in the picture... you have to PULL it out to open the lid!!! You can't just step on the foot piece to open. And, the lid is not secure on the hinges either. There is a little, metal hook that's supposed to hold it on. THis is the WORST trash can I've ever had. It's 4 times too much on the price. I wish I could return... total fail and waste.

    targetCustomer - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Lid keeps falling off not very stable. You can easily knock it over and due to poor lid design it can spill all the trash out. I thought this would be upgrade from the usual plastic ones from hefty that I usually buy but I was wrong. This is more expensive and worse product. It does fit 13gallon trash bags though with some struggle.

    Bek - 1 year ago
    The size of the can is perfect for our home. No obvious place for a trashcan, so we need something slim and aesthetically pleasing. This worked fine for the first few months. However, now the lid keeps popping off the hinges whenever we open it. This would probably work fine for low traffic use, but in our kitchen it just isn't great.

    The slim design is perfect, however, the lid pops off the can literally everyday to the point where we just leave the lid off - which is not ideal.

    Naty - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    When I thought I had finally found a dog-proof trash can, I was disappointed. While the material is of good quality, it did not live up to its claim of being dog proof. Despite having two dogs weighing 15 and 22 pounds, they were able to easily open the trash can and have their fun while we were away for a few hours. If your goal is to prevent your dogs from getting into the trash, I would advise against purchasing this particular product.

    Slim Trash Can

    lolo315 - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    It fits perfectly in the small space in my kitchen, but the wheels don’t really work. They just kind of drag on the floor. I think it actually scrapes the floor. I didn’t need the wheel feature, so it still works just fine for me.
