simplehuman 30 Liter / 8 Gallon Butterfly Lid Kitchen Step Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel

Never thought I'd spend this much on trash cans, and my husband thought I had gone mad. However, once the 2 cans I ordered arrived securely packed in SimpleHuman boxes and also within larger Amazon boxes (they were massive packages!) and I set them up in the kitchen (one for recycling and one for garbage) we were both convinced I'd made the right purchase. The 13 gallon bags I buy in bulk from Costco or Sam's Club fit fine, but since each can came with 3 packages of sample bags (I think 2 or 3 bags per package), I'm using those for now. I've only had the cans a few days, but so far we really like them--and we only had to take the trash out ONCE in two days! We usually fill up our old can at least twice a day. The butterfly feature is the reason I purchased these particular cans, and the quiet close (they close slowly, they don't slap down!) is very nice. To change the bag, you only have to lift the back of the can and tilt it forward so that it stays propped up a bit, and pull the old bag out. No need to take out the entire plastic liner can. In other words, there is no lifting (other than the actual bag of trash). To keep the top open to peel carrots or whatnot, you just move the metal bars holding each side up into a little grooves and presto!--the can stays open for you. These have a 10 year warranty, for which I plan to register online. I purposely chose not to buy a motion sensor can because there seems to be too much chance it will fail. But these don't have any fancy mechanisms, as far as I can tell, so should hold up pretty well. The reviews seem to suggest this will be the case. The reason we replaced our little $10 plastic under-the-sink open trashcan is because the one year old cat we just adopted kept sneaking in the cabinet and dumping the trash all over the kitchen and dragging it out into the rest of the house! This TOTALLY solved our problem (though somewhat expensively--but that's neither here nor there!). And our recycling was going into an old plastic gallon ice cream tub and had to be taken out several times a day (and was gross to look at). Now we have this HUGE enclosed can and can put everything in there and take it out far less often. Everyone in the family is very happy with these can. So worth the money!!! If you are considering these and they fit your budget (I used birthday money, but I'm a little embarrassed to say this in my thank you note to mom :-), go for it. If all you are looking for is a trashcan, go to Walmart and spend $10-20. But if you want a trashcan that looks good, works really well, holds a lot, fits normal 13 gallon bags and will supposedly last for years, spend the extra bucks and be done with it. You'll be glad you did!

TLDR: ***IF*** this is the right size and color for you.... You will love this slim, white, quiet, discreet and soft-closing 18l butterfly bin from SimpleHuman. Love. Love. Love. Engineering of the soft-close butterfly lid cannot be beat by any other product on the market (and I've tried them all). Classy and incredibly long lasting. Full disclosure: I am a SimpleHuman fan of ONE style (Butterfly). But, I hate how huge most of their bins are. I had a BigBox sold version in stainless steel version for 10-11yrs. in the 'butterfly' style. Loved it to death and it survived several movers until the last one. Was still going strong until it was dropped upside down, hard, with the doors open. Hunting for a replacement, I realized that the versions made for bigbox stores are always slightly different -- the ones available directly from SH are MASSIVE. Good if you have a 5-8 person household living on a ranch, not so good if you are tiny condo/apt living in tight quarters. I tried the 45, then the 40 gallon. Way too big and, in stainless steel, it was the first thing your eye was drawn to upon entering a very open concept space. I didn't want the trash bin to be the first thing everyone noticed in our new home. In desperation I tried a few other brands/styles, but here's the thing --- once you experience the beauty and genius of the compact (space saving) Simple Human butterfly style---nothing else feels right. Just as I was about to give up, I noticed a random listing on Amazon for a "diaper" bin! What!? How is this a "diaper" bin? Simply because it is smaller (perfect!) and white (double perfect!!)?? However, I wasn't sure if it was going to be big enough. I decided one last attempt was worth it. OMG -- I"m in LOVE with this bin! Nothing about it says "diaper" so I think SH was just attempting to expand their market share with some intern's idea about how to sell this product! STOP IT. Market it alongside your other bins! It is a PERFECT size for a small/open apt/condo (common in urban areas) and definitely large enough for 1-2 people who plan to empty their trash at least once a week! See pics. The ONLY downside... 13gallon trash bags are too big but can be rigged to fit, but need to be tightly wound around the top of the bin liner and then poked through the hole in the back. I do NOT like SH trash bags. They are grossly overpriced and remarkably thin (I'd say thinner than the average off the shelf g-bag). You do get a 20-pack of their bags with this bin. In case you care, SH g-bags for this are style "L" and measure 17" (wide) by 24" (long). Still on the hunt for generic, lower cost bags but willing to keep using the bigger ones if necessary. If you need a COMPACT, WHITE bin, with a SLIM profile, for a small household, and love you a gorgeously engineered slow-close perfect butterfly lid -- this one's for you! :-)

Excellent product at a great price. Fast delivery. Great communication

Buen tamaño y funcionalidad

Excellent dog proof bin

La verdad es que estoy muy contenta con el producto por que ocupa poco espacio y es fácil de limpiar. El acero antihuellas es de verdad y simplemente hace falta que le pases un trapo húmero para limpiarlo si se te cae algo en la superfície. Algo a comentar es que además de las bolsas oficiales (que son un poco caras) encontramos unas en el carrefour para cubos altos que funcionan bastante bien (no he encontrado otras que vayan tan bien en otros supermercados) Lo único negativo que puedo comentar es que el primer cubo que me enviaron tenía varios golpes y la superficie vino mal, pero Amazon me realizó el cambio sin problemas y me llegó pocos días después uno en perfectas condiciones.

Après avoir longuement hésité j'ai commandé cette poubelle car hormis mes impératifs de dimensions étroites , il me fallait une poubelle que bébé n'arriverai pas à ouvrir facilement, ce qui est le cas, pour l'instant. J'ai aussi sauté sur les ventes d'occasion- reconditionné (38€) donc mon article avait 1 poc de chaque côté, mais cela ne se voit pas chez moi. C'est agréable de ne pas l'entendre quand elle se ferme. Tout est de qualité, même la pédale on sens qu'on peut y aller franco. Seul les sacs de la marque sont franchement cher, pour ma part j'y ai mis des 50L Carrefour a 2,60 les 15 parce que mes 30l n'allait pas au fond du bac amovible. Très belle poubelle (bizarre de dire ça d'une poubelle)
