## Description

Product Description simplehuman's slim plastic step can has a space-efficient shape that fits perfectly in tight spaces, like between cabinets. The strong steel pedal is designed to last, and the patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time. A slide lock helps keep trash in and pets and curious children out. The code K liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience. Brand Story We design tools that help people become more efficient at home. Day to day life has room for improvement. That's the basic thinking behind simplehuman. Many activities in our daily routine are so basic that we take them for granted. Washing our hands, cleaning up after a meal, grooming and prepping our appearance. Through innovation and new technologies, we find ways to streamline these simple tasks. We call our products tools for efficient living.

Review: Great quality / good design - Looks and works great! I thought I needed to keep buying “special” bags, but the regular 13 gallons fit well. The lid opens easily. I changed from a stainless steel bin to this one (plastic), and it was the best decision. So easy to clean and the gray tone matches my stainless appliances. Its shape is perfect as it holds the 13 gallon bag, but without being bulky. The wheels make it easy to move around.
Review: Great, slim & isn’t picky about bags used - Perfect for our needs. Slim, easy to use, functional. You can open the lid either by lifting it up or by using the step. It’s quiet. Regular 13 gallon trash bags work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: JUST GIVEGIVE ME DIMENSIONS IN ALL YOUR PRODUCT & SAY if it's "width" "depth" or height" You make me struggle to find this info and it's important!!!**
A: Height= 21 inches with top closed. Width is 11 inches. Depth is 19 allowing for where top affixes plus foot opener. Hope this helps.

**Q: Do all models of this brand require custom trash bags?**
A: None of the models "require" the SimpleHuman bags. For this particular model, I use regular kitchen trash bags and they fit great!

**Q: Please tell me how to attach the lid? I am going to send this back if I cant figure it out.. Im frustrated, pls help**
A: This is a 4/2021 purchase. My roommate and I just spent an hour trying to get the lid on. After reading these comments I think the company is being kinda unprofessional about the whole thing. If you read down far enough you'll see their response... a web address which is, yep you guessed it, Oops. Our bad. This isnt here anymore... then sends you to a promo site for the trash cans you didn't buy.
But
Yes. The upside down hint (below) works. One hinge slipped on as soon as we got it in place. The other took a tap from a hammer (I'm a real philistine... I did not bother with a cloth cover. But nothing untoward seemed to happen.)
It seems to me that since the upside down instructions work, the company could at least include them in the box.
Otherwise it seems like a good trash can.

**Q: Could you tell me the dimensions, primarily the width?  Thank you.**
A: Its about 9 inches across at its widest point and tapers off to the back at approximately 7.5 inches. Hope that helps :-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, slim & isn’t picky about bags used

Perfect for our needs. Slim, easy to use, functional. You can open the lid either by lifting it up or by using the step. It’s quiet. Regular 13 gallon trash bags work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attractive, easy to use, fits a narrow space nicely, comes with a 5 year warranty
*by L***I on April 15, 2015*

We have had this garbage can for about a month now, and I love it! My favorite feature is the pedal combined with the gentle-close lid; this feature not only makes it convenient for when you don't have a free hand to lift the lid, it also means my almost-three-year-old can operate it easily as well. So far he has been great about only using it when we give him something to put in the trash, but in case he ever starts to get a little overzealous, it also has a lock that slides into place on the lid where the silver handle is located. It is slim and not unattractive, which is saying something for a trash can I think. It fits the 13-gallon trash bags we use (Glad brand, I think?). This trash can replaced a dumpy looking little blue swing top lid trash can (either 7 or 10 gallon size), that forever required me to clean the lid and sides because it collected dirt and grime with nearly every use. Not only does the design of this trash can mean that it doesn't really collect dirt and grime on the outside (love the pedal lid lift!), but the black color means that if it does, it won't look disgusting right away, giving me a few days or even a week or more between wipe-downs. Honestly, I would love the Cadillac version of this trash can, but since my budget won't allow me to spend over $100 on a trash can, I will "settle" for this awesome trash can (haha, I can't really call this "settling," since it is the nicest trash can I have owned!). Since we've only had it a month, I can't really say anything about how sturdy it is, other than to say that it seems like it will last well into my old age (I'm 45 now), and it comes with a 5 year warranty - you just register it on the web site (super easy!). Even my Breville Toaster Oven doesn't come with a 5 year warranty! Heck, I'm not sure that much else with moving parts comes with a 5 year warranty these days... EDIT: it's now April 2022 and this trash can is still holding up nicely. The silver on the handle has worn a little, but it doesn't look terrible. This was definitely a good purchase.
