Q: Can you use any kind of trash can liners instead of the kind that come with it?
submitted by Karen - 9 years ago
A: No, this can is slightly larger than a Tall Kitchen Trashbag size. It would have to stretch in order to fit.
submitted byDan - 9 years ago
A: I ordered the bags off Amazon and you can set up for auto delivery. I priced them out too, and the K size bags are comparable to a box of name brand 13 gallon bags. It was may $1-2 dollars difference. There is a cubby in back of can to accommodate their bags which is very convenient
submitted byMom RN - 2 years ago
A: Yes you can, our 13 gal hefty trash bags work perfectly. It’s snug to get on but perfect because it will NEVER fall through like our old one. Love this trash can!!
submitted byMommaof6 - 9 years ago
A: Many standard 13 gallons bags will certainly fit the model. Our liners, however, are tailored to fit just right and made from extra-durable plastic with thick double seams to prevent rips and tears. Don't just take our word for it, try for yourself as each trash can comes with a sample pack.

good quality but not as good as old model
Good quality, sleek, great use of space in our small kitchen. Only complaint is you cant open the can with your hand (only step) wheras the previous model allowed you to do both. So it now means I need to take extra steps to reach the garbage can every time I use it. Not sure i would buy again unless they bring back the hybrid model

Alloy color looks very good.
Alloy color looks very good. I have had stainless steel trash cans before and this color makes it look higher end without having to break the bank. Step pedal and trash storage bags built in very nice.

Warranty replacement
Love this trash can. This was a warranty replacement. This product has a great no hassle warranty. This is the second time i’ve had to replace this trash can under warranty and both times it was replaced without any problems. Will definitely use these products because of the warranty alone.

The color is not what I thought it would look like. The gold looks like cheap brass. I would like a white trash can. Just plain white.

Disappointed
We loved this and bought a replacement when our old one broke after over 5 years. But the new lid is staying up instead of closing automatically

love the step can
large stable foot step and has all the convenient feature like trash storage on the back side of the can, easy to change the trash bag, you get the full 45L because it doesn't have an inside plastic can. Really make life easy, the deodorizer is helpful best can and worth the price.

Great Garbage Can-You need to get one!
Size, function, style, and design all get FIVE STARS. We got the dark green color, very classy as garbage cans go. This is our second one, we loved the first one. Love how the bags fit nice and tight and they are strong too. Fast shipping and so worth the $$$.

I saw the lilac modern
I saw the lilac modern bin that was the prettiest I have ever seen, I had to have one! It has a supply of bags in a holder at the back , a large pedal to open the bin that has been tested for a long life and a beautiful finish of lilac that feels lovely and easy care. I now want to paint my wall in the same colour so I have asked for a code if possible to get my paint mixed. Plus a 5 year warranty!! Worth every penny and blends in with a modern kitchen too .

Honestly impressed
I wanted to say it’s too expensive… but it is quite good looking. Also the lift mechanism seems sturdier than other cans we’ve had. We got notified when the green would be available and they notified us without spamming ads which was a huge plus. Time will tell but right now I have no regrets.

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!

I never thought I would love a trashcan
I love this trashcan. I realize that sounds weird, but we got one of these trash cans seven years ago when we moved to our new house and we love it. It holds so much stuff. It keeps the stink inside, which is great if you have a dog and need to be disposing of poop bags or something like that on a regular basis. It looks fancy. My only issue is that our pedal eventually broke, but we were still able to use it if we pushed hard but then finally it completely died this week. But we loved it so much. We just bought a new one! The price from target is definitely the best!

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.
