Great look and use
This trash can in the kitchen is a perfect fit for counter heights and lengths, and this holds the 13 gal bag exceptionally.

Nice, but TOO expensive
Good trash can, but not better than similar cans that sell for less than half the cost. $200 for a trash can, no matter how good it is, is ridiculous. Works well, but would have rather spent the money elsewhere.

Sleek, Functional, and Prompt Delivery
I ordered the Simplehuman 45L trash can and was impressed right from the start. It arrived very quickly—within 24 hours—with free delivery, and the packaging was excellent. The can itself looks great, has a nice modern design, and the size is just right for a busy household.

Worth the price
I’m happy I made the purchase. Although expensive for a garbage can. It does not hit my countertops; wide opening and you can make the top stay open.

exceeds expectations!
This item is space efficient and quiet butterfly lid. Capacity is large so less trips to outside garbage can. This unit replaces the simple human predecessor we enjoyed for 21 years!!

Perfect trash can
I love the looks and style of this step can. So convenient and well built. The butterfly opening is a great design. The opening does not hit the back of my wall or the sides of my cabinet. Compact design for as much as it holds. Very happy with my purchase.

The Perfect Kitchen Trash Can
My mom has had one of these cans for years, so when it was time for me to purchase a can for my first apartment I knew this is the one I wanted. It is well made, sturdy, and as a bonus, looks great. I love that you can prop open the lid for when you need frequent access.

Game Changer
I already have the simple human butterfly 40 with two separate cans. The 45 with one can lets me go a week without having to put out the trash. Moved the butterfly 40 to the garage.

Simply Great!
A Simple Human can may seem like an investment. I’ve bought at least 3 over the past 30 years and would not consider a different product for my kitchen. This can doesn’t disappoint. Durability is impeccable.

Improvement
My older butterfly step can had a failed closing damper but was in good condition otherwise. Since it was not repairable I replaced it anyway with a new butterfly step can. The new can is an improvement with the ability to lock the lids open if necessary. Plus, as with the old can, it fits neatly in the small space I have available for it. Both cans are what I have come...

LOVE LOVE LOVE
This is the second of this version we've purchased. Our first is in our first home (and still is) functioning like a champ after close to a decade. Had to get another for our second home.

Love it!
Used it at a friend's condo and loved it there so ordered it after returning home. We have a small kitchen and it fits perfectly as if made for the space!
