Love this trash can
We bought one after seeing my sister-in-law's. Works great, good construction. Slim design fits perfectly in our space. A bit pricy but worth the money. I would recommend it to anyone.

Nice can but way overpriced
Sorry guys but I can get better quality for far less.

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.

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.

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!

Just an excellent trash can
We are using this very sleek and well designed step can for recycling. It’s perfect and finally eliminates the overflowing grocery bags that waited to be taken to the outside bin. The butterfly lid gives us ample room for larger items. My only minor upgrade would be small handles (indents?) to pull it out when it’s time to change the bag. We have it tucked between a wal...

It’s a great kitchen trash can
The only issue I had was there was a dent in the back. Since it’s so hard to pack everything up to return it I chose to keep it. The dent faces the wall so I don’t see it.

Second Purchase of a great item.
We had purchased our first one roughly idk at least 10+ years ago as our chocolate lab liked to nose through the trash. Purchased a new one and still love. Would definitely recommend to anyone with large dogs. Absolute game changer.
