Tools and Hardware Reviews of simplehuman Step Trash Can, Rectangular, Plastic, 10-1/2 Gallons, Black
Customer Review: A great buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product! It's quiet and contains smell. It will not tilt forward if you put all of your body weight on your heel on the ground and apply light pressure on the lever with your toes. It fits in beautifully in my stainless steel applianced kitchen. I highly recommend this product.Customer Review: A little pricey but does a great job
Summary: 4 Stars
Arrived quickly and in good condition. All sticker lables were easy to remove. At first the lock mechanism did not work - lid was too far away from the base to lock. Then my 2 year old knocked the can down and now it works great. Perfectly holds a 10 gallon tall trash bag, lid automatically closes slowly, and it takes up little space. All-in-all a great can.Customer Review: A really, really nice trash can.
Summary: 5 Stars
It does what it is supposed to do, hold trash. The build quality is excellent and it looks great...for a trashcan. A friend recommended simplehuman, and now I will too!Customer Review: After just over a year of use...I say buy something else
Summary: 2 Stars
We've been using this trash can since January 2010. Relatives of mine have a nice, large stainless steel simplehuman trash can that is amazing...but we couldn't swing the price of that so opted for the plastic can. Given that this can cost at least twice as much as a plastic lidded can I could find at any given store, and was the same brand as my relatives' awesome can, I figured it would be nice like theirs even though it wasn't stainless steel.
At this point after not even 18 months, I can say I hate this trash can. The pedal to open it doesn't really work anymore. When you step on it it makes the can wobble back and forth. When it does respond to lift the lid I have to use delicate pressure so the whole thing won't tip over. Even doing that, the lid opens *so* slow that it's not worth the wait. I've resorted to just using my hand to lift the lid...which defeats the whole purpose.
I never needed the lid lock - but it's just a metal clasp that slides over to hold the top & bottom together.
For the record, we are a family of 4. The thing hasn't been abused, but it's our "main" trash can so perhaps it got more use than the average can would. Still...given what we paid and its performance today, if I could do it again I would just buy a Rubbermaid trash can, or something similar, for significantly cheaper.
Customer Review: An Excellent Wastebasket
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel stupid rating wastebaskets, but if you need an excellent kitchen wastebasket and don't mind the color black, this is the one to get. My appreciation for this purchase has grown over time as the wastebasket has proved durable and very easy to use.
