simplehuman Stainless Steel Butterfly Can Trash Bin

We've had this for about 2 months. It's a waste bin for the kitchen but it's one of the most beautiful, elegant, easy to clean objects in the house. £150 for a bin seems extravagant but I think in this case, you really do get what you pay for. The simplehuman bin liners that came with it are an excellent fit and very strong and although replacements are expensive, I'll most definitely buy them from simplehuman as there's just no comparison with generic bags from the supermarket. The bin itself is beautifully designed with small air gaps at the base of the "bucket" the bag sits in so you can expand the bag easily without it billowing out of place. The stainless steel exterior is very easy to wipe down if anything gets spilled onto it. There is a recess at the back of the bin (I think it's supposed to be used for hiding any excess liner but with this there is no excess) so you can lift it with one hand whilst you vacuum underneath with the other and there's an extra half inch or so of the base at the back so that it doesn't push right up against a wall so you can get your fingers into that recess easily. All in all I'd be hard pressed to find a better bin and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's in need of a new kitchen bin.

I struggled for years with cheap trash cans in my kitchen. The last one was white plastic, so cheaply made that the popup mechanism on the lid broke so it opened when the front pedal was depressed but didn't close itself. Forget about being hands-free! After the cheapo can slid out from my foot and fell over, I had had enough. I jumped on Amazon to find the best trash can I possibly could, and I was successful. This trash can simply rocks. It is heavy enough to stay in place. The soft-close lid works like a charm. The pedal is heavy-duty and will last a very long time. The whole inner plastic can is easy to work with and makes removing and replacing trash bags easy. Finally, it looks amazing! I never thought that my kitchen decor would be improved by a trash can, but this one did it. It it perfect? Close. There are a couple of things that could be improved. The lid-locking sliding button on my unit cannot be put into place by opening the lid all the way with the pedal and then sliding it into the locking position. I found that I have to slightly push the lid backward for the sliding lock to go fully into place. Then when the pedal is released, the lid stays fully out of the way when trash bags are removed and replaced. I also found that traditional trash bags from the store cannot fit onto the inner trash can without seriously stretching them. It takes some muscle. It means that children and the elderly may not be able to change the trash bag if using typical tall kitchen trash bags. I took the easy way out of this situation by ordering trash bags specifically for the trash can from the manufacturer (simplehuman). Because there are quite a few of the sample bags sent with the trash can, it took me weeks to run out of them. I found them to be quite superior to everyday trash bags because they are folded and not rolled, very easy to open and use, and they appear to be more durable than conventional trash bags. I am very satisfied with the trash bags and especially the trash can. This product is clearly more expensive than other trash cans, but it is very worth the cost and quite stylish. It may be one of the only utilitarian items in your kitchen that you frequently get compliments on.

Buen tamaño y funcionalidad

Me encanto, es igual que la foto. Creo que si es caro pero vale totalmente la pena, es muy sencillo separar la basura y le queda cualquier bolsa, sino quieres comprar las que requiere el bote, aunque después de utilizarlas son una buena opción. Se ve muy bien en la cocina y quedo perfecto en el espacio que tenia pensado.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. My kitchen is small so my trashcan was going to be visible. This is the perfect size and it looks classy. At first, I was worried that the garbage side would be too small but that hasn't been the case. I use the recyclable side the most and it is the larger of the two sides, so it works out great. I did not want an electronic gadget so I didn't get the kind that has a sensor. I know people with that kind of trashcan and the sensors seem to wear out. This is simple and functional and I am very happy with my purchase. It might be too small for a big family but it is perfect for my small one.
