simplehuman80 Liter / 21.1 Gallon Extra Large Semi-Round Open Top Trash Can Commercial Grade Heavy Gauge Brushed Stainless Steel, ADA-Compliant

Nice appearance for an office or lobby. Cleans easily.

I originally ordered this from Amazon but it was delivered damaged - a giant dent along the curved surface. It was out of stock so I got it from a brick and mortar store that had sent me a 20% off coupon.*** FUNCTIONALITY ***I bought this for my kitchen and it looks great and it's nice and big. Initially I wondered about the open top - but then when I thought about most kitchen bins with lids I've had in my life the lid always ends up off or always open in a well used kitchen. The lid is about 6" tall above the top of the bag so you can't actually see the garbage unless you have way way overfilled the bin.*** BAGS ***They say you need their special P bags, but I think it's more practical to use the usual 50L bulk bags from somewhere like costco. They do fit and are still invisible but this size is generally not quite long enough and the bottom of the bag will be a couple of inches off the bottom of the can. If you really overfill it, it will drop down and detach the at the top.*** PRICE ***It's probably the most expensive garbage bin and I think these are more usually used in commercial uses like building bathrooms and lobbies. Generally I think they are used for non-stinky items and are changed every day. I think it's worth it - especially if you will use it for non-food items.*** CLEANING ***Here's where it loses a star. And it so easily could have solved this. If you spill anything inside it is a huge pain to clean. Not only will the spill be all over the inside of the stainless steel, but there are plenty of little crevices at the bottom the stainless where the plastic bottom attaches. Note that you can pop out the bottom - and you will need to. Even with the bottom off there are crevices in the steel body that catch scraps.It would have been so easy to put a thin hard plastic shell that slips inside between the steel and the bag. This could have been easily removed and cleaned. With that modification this bin would be perfect. I'm actually considering putting one of the supplied P bags in and taping it in as a liner then using another bag as the actual trash bag. For a $150 can this kind of thing should not be necessary.Overall I'm glad I bought it - but I wonder how often I'll have to clean it and how quickly that will sour my opinion.update after 6 years: I still love this trash can and I'm upgrading my 4 stars to 5 - I stand by my caveat about cleaning the inside - it's a PITA when it happens, but if this trash can isn't a 5 star one then I don't know which is. The large open top and smooth metal mouth makes it easy to push trash in off the counter. Even if you miss the lid it is very easy to clean. Overfilling with anything heavy (lots of bottles or anything very wet) if you don't use the official bags is still a real concern but I just know to empty a little early if I do this. It does need to be cleaned inside periodically but given that the bag usually stays firmly attached it isn't as much of an issue as I worried initially. I still strongly recommend this product. I'd love to see a version in a matte black.

I was debating myself whether or not we buy this or another Simplehuman product, Rectangular Step Trash Can, Fingerprint-Pro​of Brushed Stainless Steel, 50 liter/13 gallon. In fact, I placed an order for the rectangular one, but decided to cancel it and ordered this one. I think I made the right decision.Here are the things that I considered:1) Perfect HeightI realized that this can has a good height -- about 30 inches. That means I don't have to bend forward when I throw things in there. The rectangular one is much lower.: you would have to step on the pedal to open it and lean forward to put garbage in. It may be a minor thing, but if you are a tall person, it may make a difference.Also, we place it at the end of our kitchen island. The rectangular model's lid would hit the edge of our granite every time we open it, which could be annoying and damage the finish of the lid.2) Open-top DesignWe use this can as a recycle bin, i.e., it's for dry and no-odor causing items, so the open design doesn't bother us. It's actually better since a lot of our recycling trash are fairly large.3) Large VolumeIt's pretty large, but can fit 13-gallon regular tall kitchen bag. I tried a cheap superstore tall garbage bag, and it fits. The bottom of the bag doesn't touch the bottom of the can, but it's pretty close. That means you can pretty much use the maximum volume of the bag. Also, the nice tension of the stretched bag hold itself in the place unless you try to throw heavy thing down in there.4) AttractivenessThe finish is beautiful. The can came securely packed in a box. It's a trash can, but you wouldn't mind taking a picture of yourself beside it.5) No moving partsI still like the rectangular shape one with the lid, but the fact that it has moving parts, the lid and the pedal, could mean some issues down the road. Less or no moving part is always better. Again, for us, the purpose is to put recyclables in there. So, open-top design with no moving part works perfect for us.6) Semi-round shapeBecause we place it at the end of our kitchen island, which is a high traffic area, the gentle semi-round shape is more suited because it doesn't get in the way when we walk around the corner.In any case, I just got it today and are happy. I want to thank people who gave me specific information about the product. I'm gland that I chose this product.

Nice heavy duty trash can…that looks good!

This picture is from a year ago and it looks brand new. It has held up very well in a house with little kids in it. We just use normal garbage bags. The way the can is designed, you can sort of bunch up the bag within the lid and hide it. So there is no need to buy any special fitting bags. I know it's a bit pricy but I just got tired of cans with dings or some other issue.We have the simple human automatic soap dispense and it's also holding up very well as if it's brand new even though its two years old.I hope this helps someone. I know you can get something at Costco that looks similar but its not constructed any where near as well as this is.

I was desperate for a new kitchen trash can and this one fit all of my wants. I really do not understand why it has to cost so very much. The can itself is not super thick metal, and the one I got doesn't fit all the way into the bottom plastic piece that is detachable for cleaning. I tried pushing and molding it into place, but it just doesn't fit. The can itself still works very well as a trash can and the lid that hides the bag and is easily removed. My kids are able to take care of the kitchen trash with no problems at all. I agree with many other reviewers that for the extreme price of the product it should come with a hard plastic inner lining for easy cleaning. I mean, why charge so much for a trash can when you will continue to make money from the custom bags? A bit of highway robbery if you ask me, but I bought the product having read the other reviews, so I guess I can't complain too much.
