I've had the Simple Human trash can for many years and it still functions perfectly and because the lid closes so efficiently and keeps odor in, it keeps the dog out of it. Well worth the price if you can swing it
Our Simplehuman 55-Liter Rectangular Step Trash Can with Liner Pocket is definitely worth the money we paid for it. The pedal that opens the lid goes all the way across the bottom instead of being a small piece. It's a great design, and we've used it over two years with no problems at all.
Funnily enough, this review popped up in my feed 2 hours after my Simplehuman trash can broke. I bought it on sale at TJ Maxx about 15 years ago. I paid, if I remember correctly, about $60. It has worked faithfully all these years, and now has some problems with the hinge. My husband managed to fix it for the time being, but it's time to start looking for a deal on another one. My requirements for buying the first one were that it had to be wide enough to hold family-size meat trays from the supermarket, have a way to secure the bag inside, have a removable liner, and keep our Border Collie from getting into the trash. The bonus feature you didn't mention was the very handy little button that keeps the lid open when you slide it forward.

People keep saying this, but ATK has been doing both styles of reviews for _years_ now. This isn't new, it's the style they use(d) in almost every episode of the PBS show. They've been putting up what appears to be the PBS shows broken up into the separate segments instead of the full episode to fit better with RUclips's algorithms, hence these standalone equipment and food tests.
Lisa still appears on the gadget reviews every now and then or when the justification for a product relies heavily on scientific explanations. This is just a trash can.
I think they are hanging out in my Amazon wish list with these shows ideas! Thanks for always reviewing everyday items that make a difference in my home
i still have my 39 year old rubbermaid plastic step on peddle lid comes up trash can. i use a box cutter to cut up cardboard for recycling on top. is still works like a champ
Unfortunately, they don't make them like they did 39 years ago. I can't tell you how many Rubbermaid and Sterilite plastic step-on cans I replaced before I got sick of the irony of filling up the landfill with trash cans.
I have the simple human it was a wedding gift in 1991 still going strong. I am a kitchen manager for Chili’s and this can is great. I have the simple human auto open doesn’t work but it’s good in my backyard kitchen.
I came to greece and everyone thought i was crazy to put a trash can in a barrel and ship it over!! I’m sending this video to all the people who said I was nuts! I have the simple human rectangular size Q... worth every penny !!!
I have a $30 sensor opening trash can and I have owned it for 6 years. It has 4 AA batteries and still has the original ones in it. I love it because I can crack eggs and not touch the lid. I would not even know why I would replace it. If it ever did stop working it still has a spot to manually open and close it. As a standard 13gal container I empty it once a week without any smell and I think it's been an excellent purchase.
My mother is now talking to my father about collecting trash, showing how a married couple maintains a home they own. She is dismantling my bedroom, perhaps to investigate my night-time self-talk.
I can back the recommendation on this one. I got sick of replacing the cheap plastic ones when the foot pedal inevitably broke, so I decided to see if you get what you pay for in trash cans. I got this on sale plus a 20% off coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond. That was 10 years ago, and it still works like it's brand new, and I never have to fuss with it. Like any pedal-operated can, it does get pushed backward over time, but since it's fairly heavy, it doesn't do it as fast; I usually just move it back into place when I take out the trash. It is ridiculously overpriced at retail, but find it on sale and it's worth it.
We had simplehuman trashcans at my old ice cream shop and they are fantastic. There's other pros they didn't mention. 10 year warranty. If the can broke (was always the step to open function with the general public using it) I could take it to Bed Bath & Beyond for a free replacement and they handled the warranty claim. The liners. They sell trash bags that are perfectly sized for the cans. You don't have to deal with standard grocery store bags being too big and slipping down in the can. They're a little pricier, but worth it imo. Bed Bath & Beyond used to have their $29/year membership (RIP) that gave you 20% off all purchases and that paid for itself in trash bags for my store.
I just toss my trash out the window into the back of my neighbors Mustang. He lost his license after a road rage incident after realizing he'd blown $180 on a hunk of recycled tuna cans to store his bong. So, until someone tells him about IKEA having everything to solve that problem for twenty bucks no one's gonna care.
After 10+ years of heavy use, my Polder Wink can broke. I’m sorry they don’t make these anymore. I’m not a big fan of the flip up lid variety, but want an enclosed can. And since I typically have both hands full, need a foot petal. These reviews come in handy.

I have a rectangular Kohler trash can. Love it. AND it takes ANY liner. Perfect size for paper grocery bags so NO PLASTIC BAGS! Yay ! Oh, and affordable.
you didn't even try the good touchless cans....I have the simple human one and I love it. works without fail....they even have a voice controlled one too
The Brabantia one wins hands down. I really dislike those that have a foot pedal. They didn't really discuss the ease of removing the trash bag which is a shame.
Simple Human stuff is very nice, but changing that twice a day...when there trash bags are so expensive. I don't think so. I've considered them on many occasions until I went to Bed Bath and Beyond, saw the prices of the bags and couldn't believe it. There has to be a happy medium right? I have a Tramontina (I forget how it's spelled) from Sam's Club that I've used for 2 years and it's gone through the ringer and still looks amazing. No fingerprints.
The issue I see hear with the complicated, bulky trash bins are just that, they're not as versatile. I have a cheap plastic trash bin and although I wish it had a lid, especially during summer days, I also like that its convenient. If I need to take it away from the kitchen and move it around the house on the occasion that I'm cleaning trash from other rooms, I can. After considering the pricing, I think I'm okay with just replacing my now cracked plastic trash bin with the exact same kind.
Now, my mother is emptying the trash can. She is likely checking up on my vaping and my mood after I had a meal. I have to think critically about how women in STEM perceive men in STEM's moods before and after they eat. She hopes I am happy after I eat, and that I quit vaping some day.
@@richardkoo7869 There are only two types of people who will buy a $180 trash can. The people who send their personal assistant over to pick it up and the people who will retire broke.
My mother-in-law got me one for Christmas. Who the fuck gives a garbage can as a gift, right? It's the best garbage can I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, I'd never pay $180 for a can but this this thing is great.
My Grandfather always said you will never be sorry if you buy good tools. You have your choice. The good but inexpensive Sterlight (?) plastic garbage can or the expensive $189.99 never have to buy another piece of quality equipment garbage can. I want the piece of quality equipment that will outlast me.
Who the hell pays $185 for a kitchen trash can lol. Call me crazy but i’d rather just get the cheap sterilite and deal with the extra work of having to open it by hand. But tbh i found a good stainless steel can at home depot by their store brand for 35 dollars. Looks good and works good
I bought a Simple Human trash can too and I’m really pleased with it. It is just the right shape and size for my kitchen, performs well and feels like a quality product and I’d got so fed up with the cheap one that I’d had before. It might be expensive for a trash can, but it is something you use multiple times every day.
That simple human looks way too pretty and beautiful to put trash in - I worry that the trash bag would be visible at the top and ruin the clean lines of such a nice modern design…
After watching this, I bought 50L size for $130-ish price. My regular 13 gallon bags are uncomfortably tight and 16 gallon is just too big. I figured out that SimpleHuman sells their proprietary sized bags, and they aren't cheap.
It should also be obvious how to use it. I am a dog-walker and use a lot of other people's trash cans. I can't always figure out how to open kitchen trash cans to throw away paper towels after washing my hands. Trust me, dog owners, you want me to be able to wash my hands.
Nope, don’t like foot pedal ones anymore. The only thing their “winner” has over the other foot pedal cans is the fact that the sides are straight. The sides of the cans that angle up towards the lid are hideous. Step on that pedal a couple of times and the bottom of the can scoots back to the wall. Eventually the lid won’t open because the wall prohibits it. Annoys me something fierce!
I recently replaced the round SS Step trash can I had for maybe 8 years for $40 at a discount store. I got this plastic Simple Human one on Amazon, available in a few colors for $49.99. It's great! smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004P6B7KW/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Why would anyone use any of these trashcans? Why even buy one with a lid? I don't have time to mess with a lid - it just gets in the way. If I put something that smells bad in it, I take the trash out that night, rather than try to hide the odor
The federal government learned many years ago that the best trash cans are those which is all metal and won't burn anything around it. The plastic ones will help spread a fire, and also the partial metal/plastic ones.
You got it from amazon right? Their returns are pretty easy, try to get them to replace it with another one and they probably will, might have better luck and just got a dud the first time.
The pedal eventually broke on mine. It is not worth it after all. Never would I buy it again. It still looked fine but wouldn't close all the way; stinking up the whole place. Costco has better options.
Garbage is garbage. I take my across the street and throw it in the garbage corral as I have it. I live in a Condo so I don’t ave to have garbage in my house.
Uhh, throwing scraps into your bin? That's just crazy talk, I feed all mine to chippy (my wonderful potbelly pig). I'm sure ATK could sponsor quite a few piggies with all their trimmings and leftovers. Only things that need the bin are certain plastics that I can't easily recycle or junk mail. Requires a couple extra bins but it's worth it imo. Also since I don't throw away anything that rots, I don't need a bin with a lid that costs over 100 damn dollars!
I don't like to put a lid on my trash can, it gets in the way. I have had the same plastic can for over 20 years probably paid less than 10 bucks for it.
But you have to buy special garbage bags for it, they are usually round... And isn't it bad if it's completely sealed. Yes, it doesn't smell but water from vegetables can't evaporate. And if it can breathe, it won't smell...
You CAN'T be serious!! Anyone who'd pay close to $200 bloody dollars~TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!! FOR A TRASH CAN!! shouldn't be allowed to have money, as they have NO idea what to do with it and should give it to those who would NEVER pay $200 for a trash can! I just can't imagine. Really? And yet there they are in comments below~paying $200 for a trash can. It beggars belief! I've been using the same trash can since the '70's. It's plastic. It's white. It holds a garbage bag. I clean it frequently. It cost about 8 bucks and still "works". What the hell else do you need it for. Since when have bragging rights become what you use as a trash can. This world hurts my head.
This is starting to be the simple human ad channel....for crying out loud there are other trash cans out there that are just as reliable as simple human with good build quality for much less price....anyone else noticing this!?!? They name dropped simple human almost all the time ..they didn't even say which won or lost the smell test? What was the point of that section!?!
Please stop talking, you should not comment without doing a bit of research. Now unfortunately there is no link to the project testing article in the videos description, what is there is a link to is the ATK website, it's actually the SECOND link (wow very little scrolling), click that link, this next step is a complicated one so pay attention, then in the search bar type "trash cans" or something related to that, from there you will find the article where they describe the test and scrolling down a bit more gives you a chart of sorts with the name, price, pros and cons of each product tested, just like every other products test. "But wait" you say to yourself, "I cannot see this read this article", yes like every company ATK needs money so to read the article you must pay a monthly fee. These aren't ad's, don't be ignorant, if "simple human" comes up so much then they must make good products. ATK is not paid to do these tests by companies if they were then no one would watch these, they stay impartial by having support from their subscribers, the paying kind not the YT kind.
@Braumeister Don't be ignorant ATK is produced in Boston and these aren't segments made for YT ATK makes this for TV then upload clips to YT. If you want full episodes you gotta get TV or become a paid subscriber on their website.
@Braumeister Nope, Daniel's right. This is a segment from an episode of their long-running PBS show. They produce another one called Cook's Country, and this year they've been uploading both to RUclips after a while. The last month or so, they seem to be splitting them up into one video per segment instead of per episode.
I've had the Simple Human trash can for many years and it still functions perfectly and because the lid closes so efficiently and keeps odor in, it keeps the dog out of it. Well worth the price if you can swing it
Keeping the dog out of the van is worth it’s weight in gold!
@@Layput you're CLUELESS

Does the trash bag go around the top of the can or is there an inside liner/rim?
I have the cheapo Sterilite but with a step for opening. Works great, and it was around $40 at Target.
One day you will be mine, Simplehuman 13.2 Gallon Stainless Steel Rectangular Kitchen Step Trash Can.

But you have to buy special garbage bags for it, they are usually round...
And isn't it bad if it's completely sealed. Yes, it doesn't smell but water from vegetables can't evaporate. And if it can breathe, it won't smell...
Nope, I use regular old bulk price Glad trash bags in mine. I've also used the Kirkland's brand in it.
Rubbish bins...
Jesus.
pov: you're at a kpop consert
These never last long. I wish they did a lifespan test. Mine broke after 2 years. Bit expensive for only 2 years
True, there are certain things that need to be tested over time to see how well they hold up.
Is this video just as useless as their last one with the towel holder?
This is so corny.
You CAN'T be serious!! Anyone who'd pay close to $200 bloody dollars~TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!! FOR A TRASH CAN!! shouldn't be allowed to have money, as they have NO idea what to do with it and should give it to those who would NEVER pay $200 for a trash can! I just can't imagine. Really? And yet there they are in comments below~paying $200 for a trash can. It beggars belief!
I've been using the same trash can since the '70's. It's plastic. It's white. It holds a garbage bag. I clean it frequently. It cost about 8 bucks and still "works". What the hell else do you need it for.
Since when have bragging rights become what you use as a trash can. This world hurts my head.
hai
This is starting to be the simple human ad channel....for crying out loud there are other trash cans out there that are just as reliable as simple human with good build quality for much less price....anyone else noticing this!?!? They name dropped simple human almost all the time ..they didn't even say which won or lost the smell test? What was the point of that section!?!
See that's what someone that hasn't used a SImple Human bin would say.
Please stop talking, you should not comment without doing a bit of research. Now unfortunately there is no link to the project testing article in the videos description, what is there is a link to is the ATK website, it's actually the SECOND link (wow very little scrolling), click that link, this next step is a complicated one so pay attention, then in the search bar type "trash cans" or something related to that, from there you will find the article where they describe the test and scrolling down a bit more gives you a chart of sorts with the name, price, pros and cons of each product tested, just like every other products test. "But wait" you say to yourself, "I cannot see this read this article", yes like every company ATK needs money so to read the article you must pay a monthly fee. These aren't ad's, don't be ignorant, if "simple human" comes up so much then they must make good products. ATK is not paid to do these tests by companies if they were then no one would watch these, they stay impartial by having support from their subscribers, the paying kind not the YT kind.
@Braumeister Don't be ignorant ATK is produced in Boston and these aren't segments made for YT ATK makes this for TV then upload clips to YT. If you want full episodes you gotta get TV or become a paid subscriber on their website.
@Braumeister Nope, Daniel's right. This is a segment from an episode of their long-running PBS show. They produce another one called Cook's Country, and this year they've been uploading both to RUclips after a while. The last month or so, they seem to be splitting them up into one video per segment instead of per episode.
