simplehuman50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can with Secure Slide Lock, Black Plastic

As a DIYer, I’m always on the lookout for practical and durable household items, and the simplehuman 50 Liter Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen.One of the best features is the secure slide lock. It keeps the lid firmly closed, which is a big plus since I have curious pets who love to explore. This lock feature has been a game changer, keeping everything tidy and preventing any messes.The step mechanism is smooth and reliable. A gentle press is all it takes to open the lid, and it closes quietly without any slamming. I really appreciate this as it adds a touch of convenience to everyday chores.What I like most is the generous capacity. At 13 gallons, it holds a lot without taking up too much space in the kitchen. The semi-round shape fits neatly against the wall, making it unobtrusive yet easily accessible.The black plastic construction is both durable and easy to clean. It’s resistant to smudges and fingerprints, which helps maintain a neat appearance with minimal effort. I’ve also found that the inner bucket makes changing liners quick and hassle-free.If there’s one minor gripe, it’s that the lid could open a bit wider. But this is a small issue compared to the numerous benefits this trash can offers.Using this trash can has streamlined my kitchen waste management. It’s efficient, sturdy, and the locking feature provides peace of mind. For anyone looking for a reliable kitchen trash can, this one ticks all the boxes.

This trash can has been a life saver for us. We adopted a dog that had been starved and neglected and needless to say, he is pretty obsessive about food, food smells, etc. He also has severe food allergies so he can't eat a morsel of something outside his strict diet. After he got into the trash a few weeks ago, we decided to try this trash can to keep him out of the garbage. So far, he hasn't gotten into the garbage with this can. Its well built, sturdy and reliable with the locking mechanism. Our traditional trash bags fit the can well and it is well made. Highly recommend this product to keep your trash locked. Is great for pets and children.

It’s been kicked, thrown down stairs, and knocked over countless times; yet it’s still just as functional now as it was when it first arrived. I don’t think I realized just how high quality simple human was before I bought it. I remember thinking it was a good price considering the functionality and aesthetics, and that maybe I could get 1-3 years out of it. But more than 5 years later, it’s still my daily (kitchen) trash can. That said, it does have scuffs, and some of the silver paint on locking mechanism has worn off some (probably from being kicked down the stairs a dozen times.) But for $50 this trash can is a steal for the quality. I know some will think that even $50 is too much for a trash can, but it’s certainly worth it. It’s ergonomic, it’s practical, and it always works as intended. It’s especially easy to clean too. Considering the build quality, functionality, and practicality of this trash can; I highly recommend it. It’s nice having such a well made trash can that is high quality, and that has a fashionable aesthetic. But best of all, is not having to concern yourself with taking the utmost care of it. You can just forget about it for 5 years, treat it extremely poorly, and it’ll still be working great. 👍I only reviewed this now after I began renovations on my home, and I decided to check the date when I’d bought the can out of curiosity. After realizing the quality of it, I decided to buy a new simple human trash can. It’s the slightly bigger (55L) matte black step can. The new step can was $200, but after the rough 5 years that this wonderful trash can has spent with me, and my family, I have enough confidence in the quality that the $200 will no doubt be worth it.

Love the size, the 13 gallon trash bag fits perfectly, easy to use and lid opens easily.

This was a very nice trashcan. I had to return it because I wanted it to go under a counter and my counter wasn't high enough to allow the lid to go all the way up. But other than that it was a good trash
