This Trash Can Saved Our Marriage, May 20, 2009
Not long ago, my husband and I adopted a sweet-natured, very obedient stray dog and named him Jack Havoc. It soon became evident that his one weakness was the kitchen trash can. Try as we might, we couldn't break him of his infatuation with the slim curves, the hard plastic shell and the cornucopia of goodness held within.
We'd lay awake at night afraid that come morning we'd find a kitchen floor coated with coffee grounds and shredded ice cream cartons. We took turns standing guard each night, but alas as the dawn neared and our eyelids began to droop, inevitably Jack Havoc would rise again and our trash can would fall at his feet in surrender.
The lack of sleep led to bickering and resentment and soon my husband and I found ourselves seeking the help of professional counselors and pastors, but to no avail. Nothing could help the situation. All was lost.
Until we found the SimpleHuman CW1322 Slim Plastic 10-1/2-Gallon Step Can that is! Oh, we had hoped and prayed for such a day. We could barely contain ourselves as we placed our order on Amazon and waited for that 4-worded email: "Your Order Has Shipped." And then came the delivery day. Oh, the delivery day.
Every once in awhile, we turn the corner into the kitchen and still find Jack Havoc whispering sweet nothings to our SimpleHuman CW1322, but with its steel-accented slide-lock and lid shox technology, we no longer have to lose sleep at night worrying about spilled coffee-grounds.
Thank you, SimpleHuman! Thank you.

Better than any stainless steel waste can I've owned, October 11, 2008
Tired of cleaning a stainless waste bin? I was and this was the solution. It has faux steel accents which coordinate with my kitchen, yet, I am not constantly wiping handprints and accidental misses off the waste can. The air pump auto close mechanism like a dream and the locking device works great at keeping my 2 year and my smart lab out of the trash. It's slim profile lends itself to end of counter spaces or even near a kitchen island. 13 gal size is large enough so I am not constantly emptying and the wheels make it easily transported even when full.
I priced many waste bins with a plethora of questionable features and this one delivers practicality, functionality, and great design. Buy it!

This is a great trash can, May 14, 2008
This trash can is great. I live in a very small New York apartment (less than 400 sq ft) and the slender shape and white design fits seamlessly against the wall in my tiny kitchen, yet it's large enough to hold half a week's trash.
The lid is great too -- opens with foot pedal and closes slowly and quietly. Also has wheels in the back for easy transport.
I thought about getting a stainless steel, but this one is much more subtle.
Highly recommend.
