Product Description

Size: 13 Gallon

Amazon.com Product Description

Made of durable stainless steel, this rectangular 13-gallon waste can makes for a nice addition to any kitchen or office. Its lid opens by stepping on the solid-steel platform pedal--convenient for when your hands are full or you want to keep them clean and germ-free. Then, instead of slamming shut, its lid shox technology uses air-suspension shocks to close the lid in a slow, quiet, controlled manner. A simple slide switch allows for keeping the lid open for longer chores. Other highlights include an integrated toe kick for easier access to the pedal, a nonskid base to keep the can steady, a completely flat hinge that allows the can to fit flush against the wall, integrated wheels, and a fingerprint-proof finish that decreases smudges and keeps the steel looking shiny and new. In addition, the can offers a dent-proof plastic inner bucket and a smartbucket bag-change system that eliminates messy bag overhang and makes it easier to take out the trash. The waste can measures 12-4/5 by 19-1/2 by 26 inches (35 inches with the lid open) and carries a 10-year limited warranty.

strong Go ahead, turn this can upside down. You'll see there's a solid steel beam that runs from the tip of the pedal all the way to the back of the can for maximum durability. How durable? Well, we've tested our pedals to last over 150,000 steps--that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.   silent No more clangs, bangs or lids slamming shut. This step can is equipped with our patented lid shox technology to control the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close.

hide excess bag The bag tuck opening tucks away excess bag so it stays neatly out of sight.   internal hinge The flat back and internal hinge allow you to place this can right up against the wall.   stay-open lid Keep the lid open whenever you need it--great for long chores. non-skid base The non-skid base has rubber pads that are gentle on floors and keep the can steady.

4.0 out of 5 stars easy solution to holding the inner bag, July 23, 2004

This review is from: simplehuman Rectangular Step Trash Can, Fingerprint-Proof Brushed Stainless Steel, 50 Liters /13 Gallons (Kitchen)

i used to have the same problem of holding the bag on the inner can: i couldn't find a rubber band big enough.

then, i had a moment of trash-can inspiration: i just tied a string to each end of a sturdy rubber band and adjusted the length so i could stretch the string / rubber band loop around the top of the inner can. i tied another small piece of string from the loop to the edge of the inner can's handle so it'd stay nearby while emptying it.

this works very well for me.

This review is from: simplehuman Rectangular Step Trash Can, Fingerprint-Proof Brushed Stainless Steel, 50 Liters /13 Gallons (Kitchen)

Overall, I'm happy with this. It's beautiful (which is something to say about a trash can) and it keeps the smells in and the ants out, but it has two problems. Although the inner can is removable so you can put the bag on the can and then in the casing, there is no band to keep the bag in place so when you put the can in the casing, the bag tends to get pushed off the can. I end up having to shove it back in around the can which is a pain. If I can find a rubber band big enough, I'll use that, but in the meantime, it's somewhat frustrating when changing the bag. The only other issue is the little piece which can be used to hold the top open is a tiny piece of metal which sits on the end of a rod - no screw or cap to hold it in place - which means it routinely falls off. For this much money, I would have liked a bit more functionality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an OUTSTANDING trashcan!!!!, November 11, 2005

By 

brandyng (Kennesaw, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this trashcan from Lowe's (for the same price) one night after going over it in my mind for MONTHS why one would EVER spend so money on a trashcan. Well, let me tell you: It's worth every single penny. The size, quality, color, mechanics of it (the lid slowly closes once you take your foot off of the pedal) are great, and it's easy for me to clean. I'd buy this thing all over again- but much, much sooner than it took me this time. lol I highly recommend it!

By the way, you don't have to buy the trashbags made by simplehuman for this size trashcan. You can just use tall kitchen trashbags.
