Love it. Wish I had purchased this one first.

I bought this particular can because the lid opened in the middle, therefore, not banging the lid into my counter top! It works great, looks good, and doesn't slide across the floor when one steps on the lever to open it.

Who gets excited about a garbage bin?

I did! My newly designed small kitchen design didn’t have room for garbage and recycling and this butterfly unit was perfect. It’s hidden in the corner. Easy open with your feet. It’s quite close and love the butterfly top open design which minimizes the height of the opened lid. I bought the Simplehuman correct sized bags and they are worth it!!! Love the newest and hard working appliance in my kitchen.

Sleek, Stylish, and Functional

This garbage can manages to incorporate being sleek, stylish, and functional all in one slim design. I love that it has the recycler inside, which makes my life so much easier and keeps my kitchen counter cleaner as well. The butterfly lid is so quiet. I should have bought this garbage can years ago.

New Trashcan

Very happy with our new dual compartment butterfly step can. I was afraid the trash compartment would not be big enough, but it more than adequately holds all our garbage. The recycle bin is so convenient. I have not always been happy with Simple Human purchases but this one proved to be a great purchase

Very Satisfied

I purchased this after buying one from a different company. The quality of this one is so much better than the one I got before, and the cost was just a little more.

Excellent Trash Can But Bags Could Be Better

The look, use, minimal space, and utility of this trash can are excellent! I’m very happy with this purchase. The only flag I have is the custom D trash bags that are not nearly as easy to put on as they should. So I keep having to take the individual bins out of the can in order to get the custom bags correctly over the handles.

The perfect garbage can.

I set out to find a can that could separate out recycling from garbage and that was a little shorter to go under a window sill. I was not too confident that I'd find the perfect thing, and. . . behold. . . the perfect garbage can revealed itself. I worried that the top would be loud or annoying, but everything is top simplehuman quality and it both fits and works perfectly. Worth every penny.

Great upgrade!

I bought this model to replace a previous dual model and I love this one more. The butterfly design helps trash deposits easier. Also easier to clean.
