we had a brabantia slim before this - it was noisy and herky-jerky to open and close (and pedal only for opening), and the liner was always getting stuck on the inner carry handle when we tried to pull a full bag out of the bin. this simplehuman is a dream - it's the perfect size for a 2-4 person household, it stays clean easily, it's easy to get the bags in and out, and it's silent and smooth to operate. Love. It.

Anyone finding fault with this - like it can't withstand the charge of a 140 pound Rottweiler - is not being realistic. For the price my black model is a very high functioning, durable, handsome and highly efficient addition to the kitchen. You claim problems with it being less stable from being knocked over, than a metal can costing twice as much? Then use some ingenuity - I back my container up against a couple of bricks and a two by four and it doesn't move an inch when i hit the pedal. the shape of the can also gets the most out of a 13 gal kitchen bag. the width of the container makes scraping larger dishes and pans into it very easy. the metal accents are really handsome and make cleaning those surfaces easier. first time i ever got excited about a kitchen garbage can. i give less than 5 stars to the deodorizer pad, reviewed elsewhere, because the cardboard sleeve becomes degraded and messy to handle.

Well made. Easy to use. Would like it to be a bit larger however.

Handsome, functional, easy to clean and sturdy. In a word awesome!
