Ratings & Reviews for simplehuman Butterfly Lid Step Can, 30 Liter Brushed Steel Indoor Kitchen Step Trash Can

This is great!

This waste bin is built with clear quality and is a perfect size for us.

A nice upgrade.

Love the smooth quiet operation of the low profile butterfly lid.

Built better

Definitely built better than the one from 10 years ago that the lid holder broke.

It's fine, not as good as they once were.

The trash can works perfectly fine. However, the opening & closing doors are much looser than they were in past models. So there's some squeaking going on that's a bit annoying.

Great Trash Can!

Perfect for our game room, fits under the counter top, out of the way and looks good!

Works and looks great!

Fluid motion, sturdy, cleans up perfectly. The simplehuman liners are easy and sturdy, but store-bought 13 gal kitchen trash bags also work well (we've used both). Our last simplehuman step can was a hand-me-down that we used heavily for 16 years; it's been retired to the laundry room, but still works well after all these years and 4 interstate moves. I look forward to this one also lasting for years and years!

Cool Technology!

This is our second simplehuman can. We find the design a clean way to store recyclables and/or trash until pick-up day! Looks nice in the kitchen compared to hiding an open tub inside cabinet.

Usage Issues

I needed a smaller than normal trashcan due to a low countertop, so I thought the butterfly opening would be good. Two issues: 1. There are two lid stoppers in the back which are hard to get to, but each does basically the same thing so not sure why there are two. Regardless, the black rubber stopper came off and is lost the day we got it. 2. The step button to open the lids is very precise from the very front and is very sharp on the sides. So being barefoot, it hurts each time.

Replaced a similar can owned

Replaced a similar can owned for over fifteen years, great looking amazing quality

Too much packaging

Lovely product, but comes in a box double its size. Bad for the environment.

Very happy!

This is a great addition to our kitchen! It's nice to look at and so easy to use! Who knew that using a trash can could be such a pleasant experience?

I am very happy with

I am very happy with my 30L Butterfly Step Can. It is so functional and pretty. I will enjoy using it for many years to come!

Well designed, built to last

We’ve finally replaced our old simple human round step can (which still performs admirably, even after over 15 years of daily use) with thi one, which fits it the space better, and tends not to pivot like the round one does. It has a tight footprint, seals in odors, and the interior bucket keeps any mess from the mechanism. You can prop the lid open at need. Lid closure is slow and quiet. The opening is more narrow than we are accustomed to, and the ends of the flaps when open look a bit pointy,...

Great cans!

This is the second one I've bought. First one went 10 yrs before the plastic tab on the lid broke. New ones have metal tabs now. 👍

Love it

My new trash can is wonderful. I love how quiet it is.

Sleek

I love my new butterfly step can. It is sleek and functional. Best purchase I have made in a very long time.
