Product Review

Made of durable stainless steel, this slim-profile 8-gallon waste can makes for a nice addition to a kitchen or office where space is a premium. The innovative lid opens from the center like a butterfly for the lowest possible clearance under low counter tops and an extra wide opening. A rotary damper gives the lid a slow, quiet close, and the hinge is completely flat to allow the can to fit flush against the wall. A simple slide switch allows for keeping the lid open for longer chores.

The lid opens by stepping on the solid-steel platform pedal--convenient for when your hands are full or you want to keep them clean and germ-free. Other highlights include an integrated toe kick for easier access to the pedal, a fingerprint-proof finish that decreases smudges and keeps the steel looking shiny and new, and a non-skid base. In addition, the can offers a dent-proof plastic inner bucket and a smartbucket bag-change system that eliminates messy bag overhang and makes it easier to take out the trash. This trash can measures 17-4/5 by 10-2/5 by 26-5/16 inches and has a 30-1/2-inch height with the lid opened. It is designed to be used with standard trash bags (13-gallon size) or simplehuman can liners (size H) for a perfect fit. Backed by a 10-year warranty.
