I LOVE this bin - we bought it at the beginning of Feb. 2012 and it is perfect for myself and daughter. As we recycle it takes a while to fill the bin up; we're vegetarian and so no meat goes in the bin and veg refuse goes in compost, so the bin does not start to smell.The plus points for us are: the wheels - I really like being able to move it around the kitchen-diner easily.The lid mechanism - you can fully open the lid when it is next to a table and sweep all bits into bin without any falling on the floor (good if you are creative). You also don't have to touch the lid to open the bin if your hands are covered with flour or earth (foot-pedal)and then the lid closes itself automatically with a very nice action.We just use black bin liners and when it is full we put it in the wheelie-bin - no problemsThe only negative is: that the bottom of the bin is not flat and so I dread the day when a bin-bag breaks, but because there is very little heavy rubbish put in the bin now (due to recycling) and also there is very little damp rubbish and so if it did explode then it probably wouldn't be a problem at all.Things you should consider, but which don't bother me: the black bin liner hangs over the edge as there is no inner bin.The lid is quite big and so if you want it to go under a counter you need to factor in the dimensions, so that it can open enough to get rubbish into it.I think there was something a bit tricky about putting the lid on when we received the bin, but I recall you just have to get it in position and push/squeeze blinkin' hard - after that bit of exertion it is all plain sailing.We have the back of the bin against the wall and as the lid goes up it rubs against the wall at the back, which has not made a mark on the wall yet, but possibly will in time. It's nothing a touch-up of paint can't fix and so not a big issue for me.I was initially a bit concerned about it's look, but I actually find it unobtrusive and unusual looking.Another positive that I've just realised is that the bin lid never gets dirty - that maybe because it's a pedal, but I think it is also because the bin's opening is soooooo big, which is another reason you should consider whether you put it under the counter or not.I think the bin design could be improved by having some kind of handle on the front to allow one to pull it out in order to empty it and manoeuvre it, but I can live without that. You would have to pull it out by the lock if it was under the counter.

We previously had a larger 60L SimpleHuman bin, and that has served us well for over 10 years. The only thing that broke in the 10 years was the closing clasp (due to normal wear), but even that was no problem because you are supplied with spares.60L is a bit big for a couple with no children in the house, so we wanted something considerably smaller with the same quality, and this bin looks to be perfect.This 40L bin is up to the usual SimpleHuman quality, and has a nice damped lid action. It is double lined, having an inner plastic bucket, so is waterproof (and pretty airtight) for the person who is going to throw in soggy items, food or perishables into it.Downsides?No handle on the inner bin.Not a problem for me as this is a small bin so doesn’t warrant it. The outer bin’s lid hinge doubles as a handle (it has a recessed area for your fingers to go so you can lift the whole bin up without coming into contact with the potentially dirty bits, and for the more fastidious, allows you to clean the outer shell without putting fingerprints on it).Cost. Supermarket own brands now do SimpleHuman copies for much cheaper. I’ll leave it to you to decide whether they are built to the same quality and will last 10 years! (We had two 60L Asda bins for our office kitchen at work, and the lid of one of them went after only 3 months, so my impression is that the copies are not designed for the same lifetime).The damped close action may be a bit much for some, especially the kitchen cook who is constantly throwing bits and pieces into the bin (although most cooks tend to have a waste bowl on the cooking surface for this, so possibly only an issue if you are doing it wrong!).Who would buy this?Anyone looking for a second, smaller bin (home office, bathroom, upstairs landing).The green household looking for two kitchen bins for waste/recyclables or waste/compostable. The fact that you can choose the bin colour is helpful here!The small family or couple looking for a smaller bin (one of the perks of the kids finally flying the roost!).Overall, a nice bin from the quality end of the market. Built to last, and looks nice (especially if you match the colour with the rest of the room).I have used this bin for 6 months before reviewing it.

I don't often leave reviews but I spent so long looking for a decent kitchen bin that I'm inclined to do so. This is a nice bin! Looks good, it's slim so fits neatly next to cupboards without taking up a lot of space width wise. The depth is great for scraping food from plates - easy to drag out of it's space as there are wheels at the back, lift the lid (by hand if you wish - it stays open) and there's plenty of room, unlike round bins which I find awkward, then nudge the lid shut and it soft closes. Nice big solid pedal which is easy to use and controllable if you don't want the lid to lift all the way. The lift / soft close mechanism also seems to be vastly superior to other bins and doesn't feel as though it will break easily,if at all. Bin liners - buy the SimpleHuman ones. They are not really any more expensive, possibly cheaper, than buying decent quality liners from the supermarket and these are designed to fit, which they do, perfectly. The liner's are also unexpectedly strong, so no tearing so far and I've found that I no longer need to use black bin liners for the wheelie bin as the SimpleHuman ones are strong enough as they are and tie shut firmly. All in all probably more economical than the old bin with 'ordinary liners'. The lock is a great idea if you have pets that think they can get into the kitchen bin. It's a solid lock and there's no way my dogs can break in. I suppose the only slight criticism is that the lock can be awkward to use, but then if it was easy it would defeat the object! We tend to use the lock at night if the bin's getting full for peace of mind - avoiding the possibility of a mess in the morning! Lastly, a word about the hinges - as some have found, it's quite tough to get the plastic hinges to click into place. I just lined them up and went for it - press hard and it's done. Someone on here suggests using a drop of washing up liquid to help them click into place which is an excellent idea. Sounds like I work for SimpleHuman which I don't - just a satisfied customer!

I'd been shopping for step-on waste baskets because I needed firmly closing lids, due to my dogs' fascination with the contents from ordinary waste baskets without lids. I found these simplehuman 1.2 gallon compact step ons with lids at a great price, so I then read the reviews to see if they were worth the price. Nearly all of the reviewers were very pleased with them, however, many complained of them tipping over too easily because they were so light weight. Since they obviously needed more weight and balance in the bottoms of the cans, I set out to find the perfect fix. Having searched at home for anything that would work and finding nothing, I then thought about placing magnets or something similar under the plastic can liner,having a small diameter and weight, and whatever it was had to be thin enough or the lid would not close properly. Finding that fix was no easy task! Finally, barbell weights came to mind, the smaller light weight type, and voila~!! I found it! The "fix" that works for me is a Weider 2.5 lb. Workout Weight Hammertone Plate that fits the round bottom of the can perfectly, and is thin enough to not disrupt the mechanism of the lid opening and closing. They were on Ebay for $3 each, and I got one for each of the simplehuman step ons for each of our bathrooms. The weights were a perfect fit in every way, and not once has either can tipped over or even moved! The lids open and close properly every time. I'm extremely pleased with these step ons, and have zero complaints. I no longer have to kindly remind our guests to PLEASE close the bathroom door when exiting, and best of all, I've had to clean up zero disgusting shredded trash everywhere, and the doors now remain open ~ unless occupied, of course! ❤️?

I bought this to fit alongside my fridge as it looked more space efficient than a traditional round bin. It fit perfectly despite needing to be a little way away from the wall so that the lid hinges had room to operate.The bin comes fully assembled apart from the lid, which you need to attach. You thread a little metal rod into some central holes to enable the pedal part to work but the difficult part is knocking the hinges into place! You have to press some plastic bits onto each other & despite being fairly strong & extremely determined, I had to ask my husband to do it. He ended up straddling the bin in its normal upright position with the lid in the closed position.He whacked them into place with the heel of his hand.Now up & running, I'm really pleased with it. The pedal opens the lid smoothly, and it then closes slowly & smoothly too. If you want the lid to stay open for a while, you just push it back slightly beyond 90 degrees and it stays open. Also handy is the pet safe closure option which is quick and easy to use.The bin is very lightweight but has stayed in place on my laminate floor. It has wheels at the back which you can use to move the bin around if need be.Feels good quality & has a 5 year warranty. If you look at the Simplehuman website, where you need to register your product, the customer service reviews with regard to replacement parts are second to none. All very reassuring.Finally, the sticky labels on the bin peel off cleanly, without the irritation of bits of label backing being left behind - something that drives me mad!Recommended.

I stumbled across Simplehuman products whist looking for something online. I was shocked at some of their prices, wondering who would pay those prices for things like a bin !! Do these people have nothing better to spend their money on !!I recently had a new bathroom and needed to buy bits for it which included a bin.... This small bin seemed an ideal size.. intrigued by Simplehuman products and their (mad ?) prices i decided to give them a try based on great reviews people seem to leave for their products.. Being that this is small and I felt actually a very reasonable price - I ordered it.IMPRESSED? - VERY !This bin is just perfect...Its so easy to use and not a pain like other small bathroom bins I have had in the past !This little bin does not topple over at all in use... Impressed !!It is easy to clean - just a wipe over needed..Its holds lots considering its quite a small bin.There are special bins liners available for their bins but I am still considering whether I am willing to pay the price they sell at... for something that I will ultimately thrown away... ;-/ not sure...But I am happy, really happy ! I tried out Simplehuman products... I have since bought another of their bins and when my kitchen is done I will be investing again in their recycling type bins...My opinion is that they are a very good investment and possibly would last forever ! I would definitely recommend this.Thank you.

We've had a chrome bathroom bin for the last 10 years (and it had, had it's day). I wanted to keep to Simplehuman this time (like our kitchen 60 litre bin, and other Simplehuman items) as this brand is very reliable, I like it more than Brabantia. I paid £14.99 at Dunelm Mill however, but it's only £2 cheaper on here so no big deal. It is just what I wanted, the perfect size. Our last one was only a 3 litre so it was being emptied every day, two shampoo bottles and it was almost full.It has weight to it so it doesn't slide and move across the floor when you operate the foot pedal, like some bins do. That can be highly irritating. It has a very smooth opening and closing mechanism and it's silent.This bin looks smart and the foot pedal is a nice touch, so it doesn't look too bland; and adds that little bit of style to otherwise a boring white plastic bin. 6 litres is perfect and I shall not bother with the SH bin liners for this bin as a carrier bag suffices, and is cheaper. You don't see the bin liner anyway, it's well hidden. We buy (on subscription from Amazon) the 60 litre liners for our kitchen bin so if in the future I change my mind, I'd do the same for these.Happy purchase and recommended!

It says it is fingerprint-proof, and it truly is. I have to admit this was the key thing I considered when I bought this bin, and it totally served the purpose. What more, the bin is so sturdy, and pedal feels very solid. I have a feeling this one is going to stay a long time in my en-suite - the old one that we had to replace collapsed after 5 years. It was a £10 purchase from Next so I am not going to complain. This simplehuman bin is superb, it is heavy, and it is certainly expensive, but it is worth it.I would also recommend you get the 4.5L model if you plan to keep this in your bathroom that you use everyday. It is so much more convenient compared to a standard 3L, you don't have to change it every 3-4 days,you change it once every weekend, during your cleaning chores, it just makes life easier. and it's not that much more expensive compared to the 3 model.I wouldn't recommend the special liner though. Three samples came with the bin so I used them of course, but apart from being neater-looking and that they have a sealing feature they are merely a very expensive alternative to the standard small liners that you can get from Sainsbury's.

We wanted a bigger bin that was capable of storing our weekly recycling needs. We did have a smaller segmented bin that usually overflowed by collection day, and as the whole lot goes in one collection bin, separate compartments were not required.We already have a simplehuman butterfly bin for our general non recycling waste, and that have worked brilliantly for years, and still looks great.This black plastic bin has a tall and slim format that will hold a decent 40L. It fits pretty snuggly against the wall, and the footprint is no greater than the old bin.Assembly was fairly straight forward, but the lid did need a health whack from the heel of my hand to get it attached properly ...at least I will be safe in the knowledge that it won't come loose.I know that some people use these bins to store dry pet food ... and there is a decent lock on the lid that would stop any unwanted visits, again, it required a smart shove to lock. This model is also equipped with wheels, and that could be useful if you store heavy pet food in it.All in all, a decent looking, well constructed and big enough bin that should last years.

This is a very smart plastic bin - with a very annoying lid attachment. I could see how it attached but it took a little grease and a whole load of effort to fit. Once fitted, however, the slow, silent close is great and I've never had a bin that big that had a foot pedal before. In my excitement to buy the bin at a very reasonable price I only checked the height of the actual bin, not the height of the bin plus the open lid. As I have little room to spare the bin has to go under a worktop so I was cross with myself for looking at the hype about how well it slotted into small spaces without taking into account how high the lid would go.I can just about use the bin without removing it from its allotted space but it is very easy to wheel out should I need to fully open the lid. In conclusion, I am pleased with my purchase.A few days after buying the first bin, I decided I liked it so much that I'd buy a second one for holding items to be recycled. This time, with my earlier difficult lid experience, I was able to attach it in seconds. I've changed the rating to 5 stars as a consequence.

We've always had the 40L size bin in this brand and style has been excellent and the slimline design makes it easy to fit in a smallest of spaces in kitchen. We have downsized cos it seems to have smaller bags allows us to get that much more (and more easily) into the big wheelie bin outdoors, as small bags get into the crevices of the wheelie unlike the big bag that just lays plonked in an awkward position with spaces all round them. A must now as we have gone to annoying fortnightly bin collections. We would defo recommend this product and the brand, it also looks more stylish than standard kitchen bins. We bought Sosoon Bin Liners, 23-30 L - 90 Bags Wastebasket Rubbish Bags for £9.99 on Amazon.The bags fits very well and the quality is similar the quality we had previously purchased in the supermarket for our larger bin. It makes sense not to put super heavy items in, but all in all these bags seem to doing the job intended.

A bin is a bin. Or is it??My last bin was a cylindrical one with an inner bin which had a handle for easy removal. Easy? There was nothing easy about it! It would take two of us and the strength of Hercules to remove the full bin bag which would get wedged and attach itself like a limpet onto the inner bin. And while you were sweating buckets (no pun intended) trying to pull out the bin bag, it would constantly catch on the stupid handle, which would eventually cause the bag to rip mid extraction.THIS bin however is a dream. The bin bag goes in. You fill the bin bag. You pull it out when full and discard. Repeat process. No hassle. No mess. No superhuman strength and bulging biceps required.And no ripped bin bags with contents sprayed all over the kitchen floor. Also it’s super easy to keep clean.Yes the lid is a pain to fit but you can put the bulging biceps to good use for this. Buy this bin. You won’t be disappointed!

After reading some of the glowing reviews of this product I did think it was a little strange given that it is just a bin. But I went ahead and bought this because it was 1. lidded 2. on wheels and 3. small enough for our tiny kitchen space. I have to say I'm glad I did..Pros: - it does look a lot nicer than many other bins in the high street stores- the wheels are smooth and quiet- the slow closing lid is great especially with kids using it- and as others have said, you can just wheel this anywhere and drop peelings straight into it etc.- I have received compliments on this product by visitors- It is a little on the small side, but if you read the description properly you'd be pre-warned.However it is big enough for our family as we don't like food staying in the bin for too long anyway.Cons:- Not really a con but the lid is a bit tough to get on, just give it a big whack, it can withstand it!

First of all, it's a matt white plastic and not a slightly pearlescent white as it appears on my screen! I quite like the matt finish, as it is makes a nice contrast with my white, high gloss bathroom furniture.I purchased it because I was fed up with the clang my 3L stainless steel bin made, every time you closed the lid. And yes, this Simplehuman bin does close quietly - providing it has room at the back for the lid to open. But if is placed directly in front of a wall or other vertical surface that lacks a deep skirting board, the lid will hit against the wall :-( So if I put it in front of my rectangular, wooden laundry bin (where I had my stainless steel bin)instead of the lid clanging when it shuts - it bangs when it's opened! LOL. To get round that I have had to put it sideways on, which isn't ideal but at least it shouldn't get water marks and finger prints all over it all the time :-)

My old bin was an expensive chrome touch lid type which my border collie could open with her paw, so I've been searching for a bin which is reliably 'Toots Proof'. Spotted this one which claimed to be pet proof so decided to purchase as it was reasonably priced. It is a nice slim design & stands next to a tumble dryer under a work surface - it's height is about 2/3 that of the dryer so there is sufficient head room for opening. I have used a standard swing bin liner which fits fine. There are two wheels at the back which make moving easy. The soft close lid does what it says on the tin & the lid locks down by pushing the silver catch at the front. Now to the main question .... is it Toots Proof???well, yes it is!! She has investigated a few times & done her best to work out how to open it but it has defeated her!! Thank you Simplehuman for solving my problem.
