Review: One of My Best Purchases Ever! - I struggled for years with cheap trash cans in my kitchen. The last one was white plastic, so cheaply made that the popup mechanism on the lid broke so it opened when the front pedal was depressed but didn't close itself. Forget about being hands-free! After the cheapo can slid out from my foot and fell over, I had had enough. I jumped on desertcart to find the best trash can I possibly could, and I was successful. This trash can simply rocks. It is heavy enough to stay in place. The soft-close lid works like a charm. The pedal is heavy-duty and will last a very long time. The whole inner plastic can is easy to work with and makes removing and replacing trash bags easy. Finally, it looks amazing! I never thought that my kitchen decor would be improved by a trash can, but this one did it. It it perfect? Close. There are a couple of things that could be improved. The lid-locking sliding button on my unit cannot be put into place by opening the lid all the way with the pedal and then sliding it into the locking position. I found that I have to slightly push the lid backward for the sliding lock to go fully into place. Then when the pedal is released, the lid stays fully out of the way when trash bags are removed and replaced. I also found that traditional trash bags from the store cannot fit onto the inner trash can without seriously stretching them. It takes some muscle. It means that children and the elderly may not be able to change the trash bag if using typical tall kitchen trash bags. I took the easy way out of this situation by ordering trash bags specifically for the trash can from the manufacturer (simplehuman). Because there are quite a few of the sample bags sent with the trash can, it took me weeks to run out of them. I found them to be quite superior to everyday trash bags because they are folded and not rolled, very easy to open and use, and they appear to be more durable than conventional trash bags. I am very satisfied with the trash bags and especially the trash can. This product is clearly more expensive than other trash cans, but it is very worth the cost and quite stylish. It may be one of the only utilitarian items in your kitchen that you frequently get compliments on.
Review: It’s not money in the trash with this one! - What can someone say about a trashcan that will get people to buy it? Well, as the video shows - if it can get my teenager to throw things away, it’s worth it! 😂 Seriously, I bought the SimpleHuman trashcan because I was sick of buying subpar plastic cans that either were too small, or the lid would break after a few weeks, or it was easy for my dogs to get into. This can solved all three of those problems ✔️✔️✔️. To boot, you can pack a ton of trash in this thing. And for a family that hates taking out the trash that’s an extra added bonus! 🤘🏼We have had this trashcan for a few years now and have had zero issues. I would absolutely recommend. We are thinking about to get the composting attachment before the holidays 🍁🍁 Pros - 1. Slim design lets the can fit almost anywhere. 2. It’s not an eyesore, so you can have it anywhere. 3. Easy open engineering makes it the best companion for the always chopping chef. Cons - 1. Trash bags are expensive if you buy the brand bags. But there are plenty of dupes out there that work great. 2. The recycling side could be a bit bigger - but honestly, it’s not been a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy and great quality
*by L***M on September 5, 2026*

this a sturdy trash can. great quality. looks great in the kitchen. easy to remove bags and replace them because there is a little ledge inside that the inner container can rest on. the lid doesn't slam and closes quietly. the only complaint is minor - if you want to keep the lid open there is a plastic button that you slide in position. it's difficult to slide this button. maybe it will get easier over time? also, the simple human trash bags are definitely much stronger than the Hefty or Glad we used to buy with our old trash can. these bags don't tear!
