Great trash bin
We originally bought this as a recycling bin, but the locking top makes it great for trash and the lack of an inner bin makes it less good for bringing out recycling if you don't use a lining bag. We actually already had the metal 45ml bin that has a plastic bin inside, so by switching them, we got a great set!

Love it
I love that I just press the pedal with my foot and it closes on its own and it doesn’t slam

45L Garbage Can White
I’m really happy with the 45L simplehuman garbage can. The design is sleek, modern, and looks beautiful in my space. It also feels sturdy, and I hope it holds up well for many years. One feature I really liked is the built-in storage compartment for replacement bags — such a cool and practical idea. The bags themselves are strong and resistant. They are a little pricey, but I think it really depends on your style preferences and budget. Overall, it’s a great product, easy to clean, and gives a very polished look to the kitchen.

Cute
I wish the lid would get to the point of locking in place when opened all the way up without having to use your foot like your old models.

A Terrific Kitchen Trash Can!
This is our second purchase of this trash can. Our first purchase lasted over 10 years. It is perfect for kitchen use - reliable and easy to keep clean. The dual opening characteristics of the trash can - step and manual make usage very easy. So glad SimpleHuman is still manufacturing it.

Thrilled to have a plastic/metal
Thrilled to have a plastic/metal hybrid option, and even more thrilled to have color choices that are fun! The lavender color brings me joy even just walking past it.

Excellent Step Can
I am very happy with my new step can, as it is attractive and durable. The custom liners fit in a pocket in the back of the can, so they are easily accessible when needed. I am sure this can will last a long time! It is also reasonably priced, and was delivered promptly.

Good quality
The trash can is solid, good quality, and stylish. It matches my GE slate gray appliances, which I appreciate since GE discontinued that color and it is hard to match. My only complaint is that the custom K bags are a very tight fit and hard to get on the can. I never had this problem with the other Simplehuman trash can that I have with N liner bags.
