Second SimpleHuman can - like this even better
Finally had to replace my SimpleHuman can that I have had for decades because the soft close finally failed. Still opened fine, but I wanted a new one that did not show fingerprints. Love the wider opening - makes it very easy to empty my shredded paper without it spilling everywhere like it did with my old can. Do wish it was just a tab smaller in its circumference as ...

Warped lip
The trash can arrived with a warped lid. As a result, the lid won't fully close. With a partially open lid, the smell of trash escapes.

Trash Can
Bought this same trash can about 20 years ago. It got a small dent in the side when I moved so I decided to get a new one. Lucky for me they still had the same style. Very good quality!!! The new one will probably out live me, lol. I love all their products 😍

Great product!
The can is as advertised. Attractive, smooth operation, easy bag change. Standard bags fit perfectly. Love it.
Unfortunately, the can arrived with a dent on the left side. I was able to hammer it out and it is almost unnoticeable. Not worth the hassle of return.

50L Kitchen Garbage Can
This is our second SimplyHuman 50L garage can. A great product. I highly recommend it. Please consider a more rigid box for shipping. Our new can has dents on each front corner. Something was banged into it and the box and inside cardboard corner pieces were not able to stop the damage. That said, a great product. We would definitely purchase again.

Although it took longer than anticipated to arrive, in the end it was worth the wait. This is a great product.
This is one of many we have owned over the years.

Great xtra large step can!
Exactly as pictured. Have several simple human cans and their kitchen soap dispensers. Love the quality of their products and ease of ordering. Lower price would be nice especially for repeat customers!

Best Can Ever
Arrived quickly. Extremely well packaged, no dents or scratches. It has a very large opening so scraping scraps off a dinner plate goes right into the receptacle. Opens easily. Love the tilt the inner can does so you don’t have to remove the inner liner to remove or replace bag. A regular 13 gal bag fits tightly so no exposed bag. Love the sliding mechanism that keeps t...

Massive dent
Though it is hard to tell whether it happened at the warehouse or during shipping, our expensive trashcan arrived with a massive dent in the side. The hassle of returning it would’ve been too much so now we are just stuck with it.

Repurchase of Perfect!
We purchased the same trash can about 10 years ago, that had a really good run. This replacement is just as perfect. Smooth operation, easy change of bags, sleek and low profile, beautiful stainless and durable. Here’s to another 10 years!
