Simplehuman designs minimal, functional products for your home.

Simplehuman products, especially their trash cans, are well-regarded for their sleek and durable design, easy-to-use functionality, and quality. However, the brand is often criticized for its poor customer service and expensive products, including the cost of replacement bags.

I really like their garbage can designs/systems. The bags are a bit expensive, but luckily the company has been around long enough that the shapes/sizes are duped/replicated by other sellers. I love the cans themselves, I purchase liners/bags from other companies because the margin is noticeable and there isn't a perceptible difference in quality.

I’ve had my simplehuman trashcan for 5 years now and it’s in great condition. I don’t like their smaller home goods like sponge caddies because the size is awkward and I dont like how my scrub daddy sits in it

There are so many things that I love about Simplehuman's products - in my dream world, I live in a SimpleHuman optimized home. 

Some of my favorites from their line:
- Trash Cans: their step can trash cans are so high quality. They live forever. Mine has lived through multiple moves (and we all know how moving bangs stuff up). Only "con" here is that you have to use their fancy trashbags, because their liner inserts are weirdly shaped. I found an off-brand company that sells them on Amazon for cheaper though, so that's my hack to make life easier. 
- Sensor Mirror: One of those weird simple pleasures. Wireless and if you have it turned on/charged, it lights up when you approach. Great for tweezing, perfecting your eyeliner, etc.
- Sensor Soap Dispenser: I hate cleaning the gross sticky soap that accumulates on the side of your hand-pump soap dispensers and dish soap dispenser. This totally alleviates that frustration and keeps things looking clean in my kitchen/bathrooms. 

TLDR: Their stuff isn't cheap, but it truly does live forever, optimizes some of life's little inconveniences, and can help you live more sustainably! 

Only docking one star for the fact that trashcan liners can be somewhat of a pain. 


Great ergonomic products. Function well, look good. Only knock against them is the price of replacement trash bags which can be astronomical. Fortunately other manufacturers produce the same sizes. 

Very nice products I have a few of their garbage cans. Fairly high quality 

Have seen various products over the years, but I will tout their trash bins as top tier. Be mindful of their sizing, because they try to force you to use their brand of garbage bag. I do use regular garbage bags, but I have tried three different size bins, and some fit nicer than others. They stay clean, and last the daily use.

My wife made fun of me for buying a SimpleHuman garbage can. I had read the reviews and when I saw it at Target, I put a garbage can in my cart. Needless to say, the garbage can was a hit! My wife loves it now too 😀

Got the double side-by-side trash can.   Generally solid. Only two primary issues.  First, the smaller side, which we use for recycling, is pretty small. It fills up to fast, so we have to empty it too often. We opted to keep a paper grocery bag next to it instead to cut down on trips to the big container in the garage.  Second, the lid gets stuck in the up position for no apparent reason. Not a huge issue, but a little problematic when it happens at night and whatever is in there starts to smell overnight. Not the most pleasant odor first thing in the morning.

I love this brand so much that I went and got the garbage can. It’s so well built, sturdy, don’t rust and solid. I’m happy to say I own 2 shower caddies, a pet food container and a garbage can that rarely smells thanks to the pods. They’re worth the money hands down .
