Simplehuman

I've had a Simplehuman step trash can in my kitchen for several years now, and it still looks as good as it did when I got it. It's heavy duty and has survived several moves. It's expensive, but worth the money IMO.

The tiny crevices are hard to get food out of if something spills out of the garbage. I had to use a screwdriver once to unscrew the bottom and get coffee grounds out.

I've loved everything I've bought from Simple Human. My favorite have been the small trashcans with liners that fit (so you don't see the bag from the outside) and the motion sensor makeup mirror. Everything is so well thought-out when it comes to design and use.

Nothing

Amazing brand. Almost everything they put out is engineered to delight (yes, a trashcan CAN delight) and last for a long time. If I need something small/functional for our household I almost always check to see if Simplehuman has made it. Of the products I own, a large trash can (10+ years) has survived 3 cross-country moves, multiple small trash cans have adorned my house bathrooms for 5+ years (crucially keeping my troublesome dog out with their step open action), a motion sensor soap dispenser is still going strong after 3 years (I charge it about once every 4-6 weeks and have never had clogging despite using Dawn soap instead of their brand), and a pet food can has reliably kept my pup's food dry and safe for 5+ years.

I have a mini Simplehuman trash bin and it works great!

Pricing tends to lean on the higher side.

Our Simplehuman trash can has been a game changer (it feels hilarious to say that about a trash can, of all things!). My dog is the sneakiest at getting scraps of food from seemingly unreachable locations, but our Simplehuman stainless steel trash can has foiled her multiple times. The sleek metal and slim profile also keep it from being an eye sore, and I love the fingerprint-resistant design.

innovative products, but the product I have (automatic trashcan) had so many updates and was constantly not working, we returned it and now just used a push lever trashcan

Nice, clean, thoughtful, minimalist designs. Nicely made.

Price point can be a bit high.

For the most part a solid functional product. But they show wear after a while and are kinda expensive for what is, after all, just a trash can

Could use less rust and discoloration

I own or have used multiple products from here, and they seem well made, well thought out and generally "Huh, that's useful.." in nature.

Their proprietary trash bags and other items are far out in price, there are small issues with trash cans where exposed hinges get clutter in them and impact use.

The trashcan is such an upgrade from what I previously had.

An expensive investment
