Well, I never thought I would be reviewing a garbage can, let alone a $250 garbage can. I hummed and hawed for a couple month before buying it, and I am so glad I did. Yes it is hard getting over that initial hurdle and mentality of spending $250 on a garbage can, but this thing is well worth the money.Since this is quite a pricey item, I will go a little more in-depth on why it was worth it for me:1. The unit looks absolutely incredible, we've had it for just over 3 month and it looks just like the day we bought it.2. The opening for the garbage is a "double layered" design. Meaning when i step on the foot pedal the top opens like any normal garbage. But the lip that you see in the picture doesn't open with the foot pedal.

I was skeptical in spending this much on a garbage can, but with a young toddler running around who wants to get into everything, I knew it was just a matter of time before she went looking to get into the garbage can. Thus began my search for something that would be hard for her to get into, while also solving other issues I had with our current can. My old garbage can held smells in the plastic stubbornly, bags slipped off the lip all of the time so garbage would end up in the bottom of the can instead of in the bag, was hard to keep clean and was fairly ugly - it stuck out like a sore thumb in my kitchen.This garbage can solves all of those problems and more!

Simple Human bins are about as good as it gets in terms of bins. Thankfully, no one is yet trying to sell connected bins yet with a tablet and WiFi built in...They look stylish, the bags fit perfectly and without the ugly look of bin liners hanging out over the edges. The pedal open is great as it runs the full length of the front edge, so you never have that hit & miss with small pedals that other makers use.The stainless steel looks lovely too and as we already have two other larger bins that we bought three years ago, I can confidently say that they stay looking good. This bin was bought for food recycling as we’ve moved to a new home where they collect food waste every week.The only downside is that Simple Human don’t make food recycling bags,

It’s a bin .... which took me 8 months to talk myself into buying ...even after I’d ordered it I worried that I had wasted my money. Thankfully when it arrived and I started using it I felt better about the choice. Yes it’s a LOT of money to spend on a bin. But it does what I wanted -handles significant amount of recycling and also takes a decent amount of ordinary rubbish. So it frees up my kitchen side from constant cluttering of plastics/glass/cans and atips the husband from moaning about the daily recycling runs with his arms full in and out of the house. I happily take the recycling bin out now - easy peasy and love that I only need to do this twice a week not every 3 hours :)

Firstly I have never spent so much on a bin but I don’t regret it at all, it’s worth every penny. The bin is heavy and solid, it doesn’t move when in use. It is a great size, 30 litres, and I love the rectangular shape which catches all the rubbish on trays and chopping boards without any spilling out like it used to do on my round bin. The bags are stored in the back and open into the inside bin compartment so changing bags is so easy and fuss free. There is no inner removable bin but it doesn’t matter, the bags are strong and leak proof. The bin never smells. The bags never get stuck in the bin when full. You get a free sample of bags with the bin. The colour (rose gold)

I wanted this bin but my wife said no!!! She said it was too expensive but I bought it anyways! Spent a day on the couch but When it arrived, I got the good treatment! She loves it.This bin not only looks amazing, it’s very practical. It doesn’t leave any horrible marks, opens smoothly and the two compartments are brilliant. I use the recycle compartment for plastic/glass/tins and the other side for general waste. Easy to empty and clean.If you are in two minds, bite the bullet and buy! You’ll have no regrets.I hope you've found this review useful. If so, please click the "Yes" button below this review. If you have any further questions about the product, or any other comments,

When I first saw this in a shop I thought how much, that's a ridiculous price 'for a bin'. So bought a cheaper sensor bin, that didn't last long, so bought a better quality sensor bin and that didn't last long either, so then bought a cheaper plastic one that I hated, so finally bit the bullet and bought this and now of course I kick myself that I didn't get this first.It looks good, and as per the name it's simple but the quality is fantastic and everything about it is well designedFull width foot pedal so it's easy to openSoft close lid.Inner lid holds the liner securely and hides the bag from outside.Smooth on the inside which means when you remove a full bag it slides out very easily.Bags

This is an expensive bin, but it is good quality and looks great (if a bin can look great ?). The little storage at the back of the bin for the box of liners is quite innovative, but I guess this is also to encourage you to buy their own liners rather than other makes, that said I think if you buy in bulk they are reasonably priced and would say they are much stronger than anything I have bought from a super market. It certainly wouldn’t look out of place in the nicest of kitchens. We bought this as we have just refurbished our kitchen and didn’t have space to integrate a bin in the units and due to this we wanted something that looked good and not out of place. This ticks all the boxes.

This bin is elegant and so practical. It is sturdy and has a very nice opening action. Fingerprints are non existent and where there have been some spills or drips, it cleans up perfectly. We have to use sacks for our recycled items and have more of this than the household waste bin, so we have the plastic bin for household, using the bags by Simplehuman and place a cherry sack in the other compartment for recycled waste. Having read reviews of this product, I note that other people say the bags, while being a bit more expensive than supermarket liners, are well worth the money and to be able to place the replenishment in the bin itself, reduces the need to store in a drawer.

It’s a bin. A pricey one. I got it cuz it was copper and I can store the bags in the bin (storage issues) but it’s bigger than I pictured it from the measurements so it’s more like a buddy in the kitchen ‘scuse me pal, comin’ past’ (storage issues). However, I was away on lockdown and forgot I’d left some food in the bin. Didn’t realise til I opened the thing to throw something else away and nearly threw up in it...So very good at containing stinky food items. Don’t do like me tho and nearly break it after putting the recycling box back in the wrong way round and trying to close the lid on it. It’s very sturdy tho so I did no damage despite being a heavy handed oaf

We've only had this for a short time, but already it seems well worth the money.It's big, but no bigger than having two separate bins for recycling and landfill. And it looks a lot better than having two bins. It's also easy to clean - the fingerprint free coating is good, but it's not as fingerprint free as it's described - you can still get prints on it, they are just less noticeable and easy to remove.The recycling part can be removed and has a handle which makes emptying much simpler, it's also easy to clean and so far it's made taking out the recycling a lot less messy.We're happy with it, so i'd be likely to buy another one if we needed it.

What can I say. Very classy waste bin...sounds ridiculous I know but its lovely. I'm almost frightened to use it, due to the price. I thought I would take the plunge after seeing this bin at a reduced price on Amazon. In the past I have paid £20.00 for cheaper metal bins and they dent very easily, so have ended up throwing them away after a year or so. The lid is soft close which is nice and when closed fits inside a small rim . Hopefully, this will stop my greedy whipped trying to climb into the bin after food! I bought the Rose Gold bin but there are different colours to choose from, the bronze one looks nice too. Hmmm, now where can I put another!

This is an amzing bin as it is totally silent. if one push hard on the pedal, there may be a very slight noise at opening . it is absolutely silent when closing.We live in the kitchen all day long with kids so it was important to minimize all external noisePositive aspects (45ltr Bin) : wide pedal; Silent, silent and silent; compact against the wall;; stable; if needed to stay open for a while, i use the "second opening" (for changing bags). Quite pricey but there is nothing with this rectangular shap, 45lt ish and silent without a sensor.

I love this bin so much! Lots of room, looks sleek. Separates our rubbish and recycling nicely. Design means it doesn't scratch the wall behind. It has a little built in caddy for spare bin bags ( I usually refuse to buy the simplehuman bags as they are so expensive but have decided that this bin deserves them!). I also prefer a pedal to touch or electric opening for hygiene reasons and practicality. I never thought I could fall in love with a bin - until this one came into my life!
