It seems silly to get excited about a trash can, but when I moved I had to have a new one - stainless. It looks nice sitting out by the cabinet and holds everything, no doors to open just step on the foot lever. I can't imagine my kitchen without one of these trash cans!

Bought 1 because we were in need of a "dog proof" garbgage can and it had the best reviews for this type of problem. We now own 2! Each worth every penny spent just to come home every day not to find garbage strewn around the house. Will never buy any other brand again! Closes quietly. Works smoothly. Wipes clean and stays clean with minimal fingerprints/smudges. The removable inner bucket is great! Makes cleaning a breeze. Absolutely LOVE the stay open feature...use it daily while doing chores or a lot of cooking. Would love a small one for our bathrooms.

We purchase two (2) 45-L Butter-Fly units for our new home. One (1) for trash and one(1) for re-cycling. The ease of use with the step-on opening and the slowwww closing top doors is great. The units fit under the overhang of the counter-top and allow us to put items in without having to pull out from underneath. This is a FIVE STAR Product.

It is very convenient. I use it everyday (many times). The size is great; fits a lot of trash in one bag. Looks great in our kitchen; very streamlined. We'll have it for a long time.

we redid our kitchen and I needed a slim trashcan that matched the stainless appliances. this trashcan fit the bill. it's perfect. it's strong and solid, holds the food odors in, and has special features to help you with some tasks. it may be an expensive one but the designers really thought of the little things and it's very sturdy and well-made.

I love the butterfly feature. I have new granite.The other trash cans would not work because of height restrictions. It matches all my stainless steel appliances.

I have been looking for a kitchen trash can that was BEAGLE PROOF! I have definitely found it with your trash can. It looks nice in my kitchen, it is easy to keep clean and best of all my Beagle can't knock it over or open up the top. The butterfly design is ingenious! Not only does this design keep him out, I'm pretty sure it keeps most of the scent from escaping. He doesn't seem to notice if we put items in the trash can that would normally cause him to be sniffing in the air trying to figure out where it is located. I would highly recommend this trash can to all dog owners! Thanks to Simple Human, I no longer have a problem of my dog getting into the trash! One less worry on my plate. Thank you!

This is my second trash can like this. Love the elongated style, fits great at end of kitchen counter and looks good too. The hydrolic quiet closing of the lid is great, no clanking shut. The first one I had, the hydrolics on the lid did wear out after about 8 years, and after nine years one of the lid flaps wouldn't shut correctly. But I liked it enough to purchase another new one. There is a ten year warranty, so this time I have saved the warranty paperwork in case it wears out early again. A trash can is not something that guests would typically comment on; however, this is an attractive trash can, the butterfly lid flaps are unusual, and the trash can always draws compliments!

Extremely well made,solid, perfect size, fits all 13 gallon trash bags, fits in perfectly with the stainless steel appliances, attention to detail from rubber footing to hiding the actual garbage bag this can is expensive but worth every penny in quality, style and ease of use.

Robust construction (after all, they offer a decade long warranty). Easy to change bags, well thought out (bag doesn't cause air pockets preventing full seating).

I researched this trashcan and found favorable reviews, so I bought it. When I received it, I thought, "Ok, I don't see what all the fuss is." Initially the lid didn't close all the way and that perturbed me. But after a day of thinking that I got a raw deal, I closely looked at the can and found that it does not work well on thick carpet (which it was on). Once I fixed it by putting a solid piece under it...I found Heaven! The lid closes perfectly. It is in the kitchen and is used constantly. It is the perfect size. If you forgot to order trash bags from simplehuman, no problem...tall garbage bags bought at any store works too. I also love the "tilt" feature for taking the bag out and putting the new one in...genius. It is the perfect size, shape, and color. If I ever need another one, I will definitely come to simplehuman! I don't know what it is, but I love this trashcan!!!

Works very well. Just what I was looking for. Pretty much pet proof and easy to use. Well designed

Great design and quality. We use this throughout the entire day and functions perfectly. Simplehuman designed this product with the user in mind.

This trash can is sleek and compact and works perfectly in my space. I love it! It's worth every penny I spent on it. :)

My 18-year old under-counter trash compactor died and I pulled it out and wanted a trash can to go under the counter in that cabinet slot. Every can on the market but this one had a single flip-up lid which when opened, was too tall to fit under the granite. Either that, or those other butterfly cans had to be oriented sideways for the motion detector to activate the butterfly lid and therefore wouldn’t fit in my 15 inch wide slot. This can fits the 15" wide cabinet hole perfectly, is absolutely silent, and does seal in trash odors by the perfection of fit between the two lid halves. Though I haven’t tried an electronic opening can I think I prefer the manual pedal because I can open it more quickly than first waving my hand and waiting for the mechanism; I just step and throw. The lids silently close pretty soon after opened, so odors stay in the can. I wouldn’t change a thing about that part of the design. Looks, function, ergonomics; it’s all there. What this can needs though is an optional accessory wheel trolley with a lever to push the wheels down, thus lifting the can off the ground. When this can is full it can not be slid without some serious scraping across our floor tile, so I have to put one hand on either side and clamshell-lift the whole can bodily out of the under-cabinet slot. It's pretty tough job for a man, and my wife simply can't do it. I'd happily pay another $40 for an accessory lever-lift wheel dolly but since that isn't offered I have to continue straining my shoulders and back when this LARGE capacity can gets full. I love that capacity, the quiet lid motion, the contoured stainless look, the low-profile sloped pedal shape, etc - everything. It just needs wheels which can be pushed down when you have to move it.

Purchased after careful research bc two dogs (boxer and rat terrier) were turning over regularly kitchen cans. Have had simple human butterfly trashcan - largest size for a month with no turned over trashcans. Love it and will be purchasing another for our 2nd home.
