Product Description
Made of durable stainless steel, this rectangular 10-gallon waste can makes for a nice addition to any kitchen or office. Its lid opens by stepping on the solid-steel platform pedal--convenient for when your hands are full or you want to keep them clean and germ-free. Then, instead of slamming shut, its lid shox technology uses air-suspension shocks to close the lid in a slow, quiet, controlled manner. A simple slide switch allows for keeping the lid open for longer chores. Other highlights include an integrated toe kick for easier access to the pedal, a nonskid base to keep the can steady, a completely flat hinge that allows the can to fit flush against the wall, integrated wheels, and a fingerprint-proof finish that decreases smudges and keeps the steel looking shiny and new. In addition, the can offers a dent-proof plastic inner bucket and a smartbucket bag-change system that eliminates messy bag overhang and makes it easier to take out the trash. The waste can measures 12-1/2 by 15-1/2 by 25-4/5 inches (35 inches with the lid open) and carries a 10-year limited warranty.
strongGo ahead, turn this can upside down. You'll see there's a solid steel beam that runs from the tip of the pedal all the way to the back of the can for maximum durability. How durable? Well, we've tested our pedals to last over 150,000 steps--that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.
silentNo more clangs, bangs or lids slamming shut. This step can is equipped with our patented lid shox technology to control the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close. |

By Wayne Roberson
The stainless steel finish looks great, and the quiet close function is wonderful. We ordered the liners with the can and they go in and remove easily and most importantly they fit around the lip of the interior of the can so that they do not fall down during use.Our order arrived quickly and the trash can was undamaged upon arrival.

If you have stainless steel appliances in your house and want a decorative and functional solution to the trash problem, these simplehuman rectangular trash cans fit the bill. I bought the 13 gal/50L for regular trash (along with the Q-sized trash bags) and the 10 gal (with the J-sized bags) for the recycling. Both cans are the same depth front-to-back and look like they came as a unit. I was actually surprised by the width of the 10-gallon can. Like the 50 gal, the bin is a bit trapezoid in shape and accommodates larger items than you'd think at its largest end. I'm able to slip one of those Digiorno pizza boxes into the widest part of the 10 gal without having to fold the box. The trash bags are custom-fit for these cans, being a tiny bit larger than the ones you'd find at grocery store. What I love about them is that they are constructed to give a square shape that matches that of the cans. This makes for easy stacking when its time to take the trash out and put it in my trash collection bins, thus saving space. They are made of tough plastic, with drawstring handles and a reinforced top of the bag that folds over the inner bin. In all the time I've been using them (a year now), I have never had one slip.One of the nicest parts of the can is the inner bin, which can be removed from all of their units and refitted with another bag. When cleaning out the refrigerator, I often bungee-cord one of the bins to a small hand-cart, fill it up with the (usually heavy) discarded items. This way I can just wheel the heavier bag out to the trash bins.Don't worry about not being able to find the trash bags once you buy this. I get them at my local "bed and bath" (and beyond) store, and if you save those 20% off coupons that come in the mail, the price ends up being about $6.50 for a package of 20. A little higher than the generic bags but worth it. I use the generic bags in a pinch but although they fit, it's a bit tight, and I don't get that boxy shape from the bag.Yes these cans are very expensive but in this case it is entirely worth it. What separates them from the cheaper knock-offs is the quality (or even the presence) of an inner bin, the easy pedal-open mechanism, the soft-close lid that makes no noise, and the ability to lock open when needed. I would buy both of these all over again in a heartbeat.

By H. St Amand
Love this Simple Human trash can. Arrived extremely quickly from Amazon and this is honestly the first trash can our Border Collie has been unable to get into. We used to hide our trash can in the bathroom every morning before we left so we were nervous the first day leaving him alone at home with this one. We even put tempting things in the trash just to see. It's been about two months now and not once has he managed to get the lid open or knock it over. It's very sturdy/stable (heavy enough that he doesn't try to knock it over yet not too heavy to move around when I clean the floor) and when the lid closes it actually closes down into the sides so there is no edge for him to get a nose or a foot into to pop it open. I highly recommend if you have a dog who loves trash.
