great company

we purchased this can almost 5 years ago. Kid abuse ie. opening with stuff on the can etc. caused wear and tear on the lid where it connected. We emailed the company to buy another lid and they sent us a replacement free of cost! Not even shipping...wow what a great company with amazing customer service! When these kids move out I will buy one of their higher end cans! Simple Human gets kudos for customer service!

I did not have problems with this trash can and used it for almost a year and a half before I moved out of my roommate's place. I loved this trash can and am buying one for my new place.
We had two dogs that loved trash and neither of them could get into it. The lid and pedal worked just fine while we had it. No complaints at all. Bags fit nicely.

Did not like this simplehuman slim trash can

We found this kitchen trash can to be poorly made as far as the step on mechanism. The lid does not open all the way when you step on the lever. When you step all the way down on it , the lid stays open . Also found the can to walk /move on tile floor because of the large wheels on the back of the can. So I am constantly placing it away from the wall so lid can open . The lid finally fell off and won't stay on when can is opened. I am returning it.

Does not keep pets out

We purchased this on Saturday because it had a lid that locked. It's Thursday and our 25lb blind dog has managed to open it three times. Each time we made sure it was securely locked, even knocking it over to check, and tried different locations. So we either have a genius dog or this item is not worth half the cost--that is if you want a locked trash can.

problem with lid

I purchased this trash can about 6 months ago and it worked fine for about 4 months. Now every time I step on the release the lid comes off the hinges. Two adults live in my home and we do not abuse or mishandle the trash can in anyway. Also the can is very difficult to wash out if the inside gets dirty as the water runs out of the base by the wheels. Definitely would not purchase again.

I have had this trash can for 2 years now and even though I have had the same problem as the first review, I know that it's because of children. My can got to the point where the lid would come off the hinges whenever you step on it but between my children and family and friend's children it stopped working. The lid closes slowly so a lot times children and even some adults like to "force" it shut and I believe this wore out the little mechanism at the bottom of the can that controls the lid and latch. Also, I had several people over that would stomp it open and it got to a point then where the lid would pop off. So as long as it's being taken care of it's a very good trash can and should last a long while. Unfortunately for mine it was rough handled a lot so my next one will have to be more durable ;)

Great Trash Can!

This is the best trash can we've ever owned. We've had it over a year, and it still works perfectly. I love that it closes slowly so it doesn't slam, and the lock feature is great to keep the babies, cats, and dog out of the trash. I also love the matte finish of the black and grey. They look much nicer than a stainless steel trash can with fingerprints! With it being much lighter and having wheels, it's so easy to move to the fridge when I'm cleaning it out, or to the oven to clean up as I cook!

I've had this in my kitchen can for a year, no problems. Very durable, cleans very easily, and it locks too...so the dogs have no chance of gaining entry to it! My teenager actually hates the fact that the lid closes so slowly, but I love it when I am cooking. I'm planning to get another one (black) to use as a recycle can..since the one I currently have is too small for my kitchen.

I've had this trash can for a year now and it still works great. It fits perfectly in the space I needed it to. It still looks great, works great, and has been a good buy for our family. I can see if you have smaller children they may have the tendency to want to play with it because the top closes slowly...honestly my older kids did this when we first got it! But I'm buying another one for my brother for Christmas because he loved mine so much.

Trash can worked great for the first few months, but after some useage the plastic top started to come off it's hingers when you stepped on the opener. The top can be pushed back down, but doesn't last long before it comes back off its hingers.
