Built better

Definitely built better than the one from 10 years ago that the lid holder broke.

It's fine, not as good as they once were.

The trash can works perfectly fine. However, the opening & closing doors are much looser than they were in past models. So there's some squeaking going on that's a bit annoying.

Replacement Butterfly Bin

This bin replaced the identical one which was over 15 years old and still looked good and was usable. I just fancied a new one.
Does everything it says on the description and I recommend Simplehuman and would not buy another brand.

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...

I'm so happy with this, the wonderful butterfly opening means it fits neatly under my work top but opens fully.

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. 👍

Nicely built garbage can. Sleek design and finish

I’m a repeat customer. I ordered a butterfly step can last year and loved it but in reality I should have ordered the next size up for my kitchen. That said I grabbed this one on a Black Friday sale and got a good deal! These are sturdy cans that should last for years to come.
