smell away
over all this is a good trash can. I bought mainly to help eliminate the smell of trash in my kitchen. Being able to hide it under the sink (or in any cabinet) gets the job done. The only thing I found wrong with it was the size. Most trash bags you buy at the grocery store are too big which means you have to buy them more frequently and you're emptying the containers more often. But at the same time it forces family members to take larger trash items directly outside.

Great can, if a bit small.
The convenience of having your trash and recycling together is great, though the combo results in small space for trash. It's only a minor inconvenience and you empty the trash less when you recycle anyway. Also, I use the recycling can just for bottles/cans that need to be rinsed and have a separate, larger bin for paper products. If you need a space saver, this will work great. But if you have room, I'd purchase 2 separate cans.

Wonderful product
This was just the perfect size to fit into a cabinet by my sink. I can just pull it out while doing dishes and washing recycling containers to throw them in. I don't have to walk back across the kitchen or to the garage to throw things bit by bit away.

stuck with lousy recycler
the quality of the product is top notch and the concept-idea is great, however the design is quite poor. the size of the "recycling can" is way too small to be useful, throw 2 half gallon cartons in there and good luck fitting anything else. I always also have a lot of trouble pulling out the trash bag of whichever can is behind, since the top edge of the kitchen cabinet will get on the way as the rolling system won't bring the cans completely out for overhead clearance. I'd much rather get the single sliding pull out can product and at least have one useful bigger can for regular trash, but my boyfriend threw away the packaging before I had the chance to give this double-can version a try for a couple of days, otherwise I'd have returned it!
note from simplehuman
Thanks for posting your review. If you contact our customer service team, we'd be happy to send you the larger bin. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Fit for Purpose
The pull-out recycler is a good product in that it fits in a small space and offers trash and recycling containers. For whatever reason, the track does not roll smoothly and requires a little extra effort to pull all the way out to access the recyling container. Given the small size, both containers need to be emptied daily, which actually keeps the odor down. As I am sure what most did, we use the smaller blue can for trash, and the larger black can for recycle.
