Upgraded from white kitchen plastic trash can to this chrome trash can. I went with soft close foot pedal vs the automated because the automation breaks. The pedal is incredibly sturdy and well made. Since its not automated; the automation can't break. The soft close is silent and I no longer have to manually close the lid. I love that feature. No batteries required. That saves money. Since its a foot pedal the automated door close won't break like many of the other trash cans report. This will continue to work for many years. Its standard kitchen capacity. It looks nice.

I bought this kitchen trash can to replace a Home Depot trash can that had a sensor activated lid. The motor stopped working so I decided to find a replacement that wasn’t too expensive yet looked nice. I have small SimpleHuman trash cans throughout my house so I researched what they offered first. Unfortunately what I found for a reasonable price wasn’t stainless steel. Their other cans didn’t use standard 13 gallon kitchen trash bags which my wife buys in bulk from Costco. I compared the Amazon trash can to this trashcan. I decided to try this one because I liked the way it looked and because it was slightly less expensive.

I received the trash can but I found that the lid didn’t seat properly when closed. I discovered that the hinge attaching the lid to the can was slightly off-center causing the lid to not close completely. I really liked the way the can looked so I requested a return which was promptly approved. I immediately reordered another hoping that the next one would be fine and it was.

I’ve had this trash can for more than a month. I decided to write a review because I’m very pleased with it. I like that it comes with a plastic insert. My previous trash can didn’t have an insert. The insert is very sturdy. Standard 13 gallon kitchen trash bags fit perfectly inside the insert. I use trash bags from Costco with a strap at the top of the bag. I simply fold the top of the bag over the outside of the insert (just like my other SimpleHuman trash cans). Then I slide the insert back into the stainless steel trash can shell. I make sure to tuck the trash bag away from the hinge mechanism otherwise the bag may prevent the lid from closing completely. To empty the trash I lift the lid with my hand instead of using the foot pad. Doing this allows the lid to stand straight up without falling back down allowing me to grab the insert and put it out with the trash bag still inside. I walk the insert with the bag inside from the kitchen in the back of my house to my front door. I no longer have the problem of a punctured bag making a mess on the floors like I had with my old trash can that didn’t have an insert. With the lid still remaining open I easily slide the insert back into place with a new bag.

The foot pad works great for opening and closing the lid for normal use. The only issue I’ve had is that when the trash can is empty pressing down on the foot pad may end up pushing the trash can backwards. I try to keep the trash can about an inch away from the wall because when the can is complete up against the wall the lid is restricted from opening completely. This isn’t a big deal because the lid opens enough even in this situation. It doesn’t take much trash being added before the trash can stays in place. At first I considered adding some extra rubber feet to keep the can in place but it’s really such a minor issue that I don’t think it’s worth doing. A rubber floor mat would be another option but why bother.

I really like the size and the shape of this trash can. My previous trash can was ‘D’ shaped which prevented the space in trash bags from being optimally utilized. This trash can takes full advantage of the space in the trash bags. The trash bags fit snugly within the insert taking advantage of the full capacity of the bags. The height is also perfect. The bottom of the trash bags touch the bottom of the insert - no wasted space and no pulling on the top of the bag as trash fills the bag. When I remove the full trash bags they fit nicely into my rectangular 32 gallon outside garbage can.

Who says kitchen trash cans have to be that ugly black one from target? Or a basic silver? My kitchen curtains are pink so I thought, why not get a matching trash can? I came to prime of course and they had the exact color match to my curtains! What luck right? Well, it looks exactly as pictured. It is big and sturdy. It is also easy to clean because you can slide out the inner wall for deep cleaning needs. The only tricky part is the hinge area that allows the trashcan lid to open and close. I had some 6 legged friends make a home in there unfortunately when my apt got bombed. But nothing was impossible to clean. 10/10 would recommend.

This trash can is worth the purchase. It's funny to think that a trash can could elevate the look of a kitchen, but this one does. It's surprisingly lightweight, sleek-looking, easy to operate, and I appreciate that it has a compartment you can take out of the can with the bag. I would recommend this to a friend.

Sleek, clean, and quiet. It works great, just arrived with a dent.

We absolutely love it! We've had this for nearly two years now I think, and it's gorgeous, doesn't look cheap, and the color is the perfect soft peachy pink. It opens and closes pretty softly, prevents smell from leaking into the whole room, and covers the trash bag edges when closed so it looks very sleek and clean in the room. I love having a trash can that's not just ugly black or steel. Highly recommend this for pink lovers out there!

Just the right size for large liners. Foot pedal for opening is great. Should fit most situations with it’s sleek design

Very well built, has insert for can to put trash bags in. Perfect fit for 13 gallon bags, my husband loves it, since he empties it. No more leaks, easier cleaning and best of all you step on the bottom petal it opens and with out sensor it automatically closes!!! Love it and best of all my husband does too!!!!

I’ll keep this short and sweet.

• Great size.
• Easy to clean and barely shows finger prints or stains on the outside metal parts.
• slow closing! My dog is a little timid and would jump each time I closed my old bin, but this one closes slow and silent. Great feature
