I have a Simple Human wall mounted paper towel holder and some other kitchen products that have lasted many, many years and still look new. Simple Human is a brand that has proven itself in my home. But were their trashcans worth the extra money? YES!!! Athough it's just a trashcan, it came in a nice box with packing material to protect it and an information card about the product features. Amazon also packs this into their own box with cushioning. Thanks Amazon! Soon as I opened it, I knew this trashcan was special! It's solid, weighted and not going to be going anywhere. It's base is protective and won't mar my wood floors. I bought an open design as everyone in my home is too impatient to wait for a lid to open, and I didn't have much room or want moving parts. My model has a rim cover that comes off, there is an inner pail that lifts out so you can just carry that part to be emptied OR you can use trash liners. The plastic pail can be washed or sprayed with Lysol for extra sanitizing. It comes with a sample pack of 25 custom-fit liners in a pop-up dispenser bag. I love these liners! I know, I know...it's just a dang trash bag. I thought it was a gimmick but they really have features I appreciate. They fit tightly over the edge of the inner pail - so when you put the rim cover back on, it covers the bag perfectly. No bag hanging over the edge, bunching-up, or my biggest pet peeve - falling back inside. It's not going to budge until you remove it. The trashbag also conforms to the inner shape of the can as well, more open space = less bag changes. Sanitary. You'll see! The bags are durable, have a drawstring and are available on Amazon. Just refer to the Letter Size that's made for your model, mine is an "F". If you don't want to purchase custom liners - just use whatever bag fits best, it'll still hold trash! The outer trashcan itself is really high-end, solid construction, great looking and contemporary - not trendy. It will easily last a decade or two which offsets it's initial cost . I got the brushed chrome finish which really does resist fingerprints. The narrow rectangle shape fits perfectly next to a bathroom sink or toilet. I almost feel bad calling it a 'trashcan' as it's so astheticically pleasing. Now I want to upgrade all my trashcans with the Simple Human brand! *PLEASE READ THE DIMENSIONS! This is not a kitchen-sized trashcan nor is it big enough for recycling or bulky items - unless you empty it often. It's slim and perfect for bathrooms, under desks or compact areas. I purchased the non-recycling model and it's perfect for my bathroom! Read more

I've been using the simplehuman 10 Liter Profile Open Trash Can in Brushed Stainless Steel for quite some time now, and it continues to impress me with its durability and style. The brushed stainless steel finish adds a touch of elegance to my bathroom decor, and its slim profile fits perfectly in the limited space available. Despite using it for an extended period, the paint and stainless steel surface have held up well, showing no signs of chipping or wear. The open-top design remains convenient for quick and easy disposal of small bathroom waste. The 10-liter capacity strikes a perfect balance, providing enough space for everyday use without taking up excessive room. One of the standout features of this trash can is its stability. The heavy base and strong construction ensure that it stays in place, even when disposing of heavier items. The rim securely holds the trash bag, preventing any spills or messes. Over time, I've noticed that the brushed stainless steel surface does require regular cleaning to keep it looking pristine, but this is a minor maintenance consideration for such an aesthetically pleasing addition to my bathroom. In summary, the simplehuman 10L Profile Open Trash Can has been a reliable and stylish companion in my bathroom. Its durable construction, sleek design, and user-friendly functionality make it a smart investment for any bathroom space. If you're in search of a long-lasting and attractive trash can, I can confidently recommend this one. Read more

I like the look of this item. I have it in my vintage bath, but I feel it could "go" anywhere. I would consider another one for a bedroom if I wanted to spend the money. I do feel that the price is mostly based on the brand name, however. I wish the price were lower. I think it COULD be lower. I have no evidence that this item is hand-crafted or even made in the USA...nothing to warrant the price tag. If you have a "thing" about symmetry like I kinda do, be aware that the top, black plastic section is not symmetrical. One side has about a 1" border, the other has about 2.5" sloped inward. I am not sure why. I think that is unnecessary and just provides a ledge for dust/fuzz to gather. Also, there is a very evident seam from top to bottom on one of the narrow ends. I aim to use the (free) plastic grocery bags as liners. Sometimes they work, sometimes they fall in. My can arrived with a tiny ping where it must have banged against something in shipping, but as it was in the lower corner and this is a bathroom trash can, I wasn't upset about it. My kitten gives it a very good rating, as he decided this was meant as a sleeping-box for him. It's sturdy enough that it didn't tip over while he was using it as a bed, so that's a plus. I don't know if it's the shape of the can itself or of the top, but my Pug has not tried to bury his face in it, either. So that's another plus. It does not fit in that narrow space between my toilet and my wall, but I have an old house, so I knew it fitting was a gamble, no deduction due to that. Reasons for not giving it 5 stars: Expensive for what you get, bag holding system sucks, top is weirdly asymmetrical for no reason, large seam runs down one of the narrow sides, meaning you must place it with that side to the back always, and taking the top off to empty it is awkward and often results in tipping the can or spilling the trash...but that might just be me!
