Perfect fit!
We love the butterfly opening, and this particular size. We also have a hunting dog with a great nose and she is not able to knock it over or open it up!

REMOVE THE STICKERS!
I ordered ten trash cans and every one of them has at least one, large, ugly sticker attached to the exterior of each can. They are not shown on any of the cans on the website. If I had known this, I would not have ordered them.
The instructions I was provided to remove them will require a hair dryer and alcohol and a lot of elbow grease. This is times 10 cans!

Works and looks great!
Fluid motion, sturdy, cleans up perfectly. The simplehuman liners are easy and sturdy, but store-bought 13 gal kitchen trash bags also work well (we've used both). Our last simplehuman step can was a hand-me-down that we used heavily for 16 years; it's been retired to the laundry room, but still works well after all these years and 4 interstate moves. I look forward to ...

Cool Technology!
This is our second simplehuman can. We find the design a clean way to store recyclables and/or trash until pick-up day! Looks nice in the kitchen compared to hiding an open tub inside cabinet.

Usage Issues
I needed a smaller than normal trashcan due to a low countertop, so I thought the butterfly opening would be good. Two issues:
1. There are two lid stoppers in the back which are hard to get to, but each does basically the same thing so not sure why there are two. Regardless, the black rubber stopper came off and is lost the day we got it.
2. The step button to open th...

Excellent service
I bought the larger 45L Butterfly step can by mistake and needed to return it for a refund and then I bought the 30L. The customer service for this process was excellent.

Too much packaging
Lovely product, but comes in a box double its size. Bad for the environment.

Well designed, built to last
We’ve finally replaced our old simple human round step can (which still performs admirably, even after over 15 years of daily use) with thi one, which fits it the space better, and tends not to pivot like the round one does. It has a tight footprint, seals in odors, and the interior bucket keeps any mess from the mechanism. You can prop the lid open at need. Lid closure...

Great cans!
This is the second one I've bought. First one went 10 yrs before the plastic tab on the lid broke.
New ones have metal tabs now. 👍

Sticking with a good thing
decided it was time after ten years to get a new garbage can and we have loved our old simple human so decided to stay with a good thing. So far so good!
