Product Description A great value for any kitchen, the rectangular plastic step can has features unprecedented for a plastic can: simplehuman's proprietary lid shox™ for a smooth, quiet close and a slide lock that keeps the lid shut from curious pets and kids. A steel-accented pedal adds durability, and an integrated handle makes the can easy to move. Available in black and white. Use Sure-fit Liner K. Reviews My last trash can was an expensive, stainless can with an inner liner, and foot pedal. It was pretty much rendered worthless when a little cheap plastic piece in the foot pedal broke. That can was a chore to do everything. Getting the bag in, was a pain. Keeping the bag from coming loose and falling into the can, was a pain. Getting the bag out, was the biggest pain. And whenever you used it, it would snap open and shut like a trap door, with a reverberating metal clang. This can, is everything that can was not. Ease of use is the name of the game. Bag goes in with ease, and stays locked in firmly. Nice large opening is actuated by a wide, sturdy foot pedal that closes softly. It's so nice to have things that just work, and work well. Cutting down on everyday aggravation really adds up. One minor issue is that being so light, it will tend to "walk" a bit. Once it gets backed against the wall, it get's off balance, as well as slaps the wall with the lid. Sticking a little box or spacer of some sort behind it fixes that problem. I've got 2 med-large dogs, but they are trained not to be dumpster divers, so no problems there. It's worth the price I paid for it. It has a locking lid to keep the baby out. It's not very heavy to keep itself planted to the ground, but it works very nicely compared to other plastic step cans. Very handsome looking trash can for the kitchen. The step mechanism for opening/closing the trash lid is quiet. Makes no sound at all. Ample opening for throwing away items that are messy or larger. Any liners will work. Very sturdy. I would definitely recommend this trash can. Good price also. I endured a metal kitchen waste receptacle for seven years. It was round. Have you ever hated a purchase and nevertheless lived with it for years when you didn't have to? Immediately it rusted all over the inside, especially right under the lid. Also, the small round receptacle never properly accommodated the plastic kitchen garbage bags that I got at the big box store. There is nothing to dislike about this Simplehuman Step Can. It's plastic so you can keep it clean and never see rust. Now I don't like to harm the environment, but I found plastic to be superior to steel for a kitchen waste can. You can hit it with ammonia or even bleach if you're really serious. Plastic is easier to keep clean and there won't be rust. This receptacle is rectangular as are the plastic waste bags you'll buy, a perfect match. A rectangular shape is also better than round for the intended purpose. This receptacle is lightweight, big without requiring different plastic bags than the common ones available in huge containers at the big box store. As for the way it opens and closes, it's just right. The step mechanism is as simple as it gets and looks as if it will last for years. I didn't want a battery powered sensor to open the lid simply because I've heard they open too slowly. Also, I didn't want another item that requires me to change batteries. I think this is the perfect kitchen waste receptacle and highly recommend it, especially for the price. I cannot believe I endured an awful waste receptacle for so long. I wanted the real fancy automated, steel garbage cans but I settled for this cheaper plastic unit. Bottom line: It works well, it is sturdy, good looking and doesn't slam shut when closing. The capacity is enough for almost a weeks worth of trash even with daily cooking. BUY IT!
