It is reasonably priced, easy to clean, and tall kitchen bags fit perfectly into the garbage can—they open and close quietly.

Very pleased with this trash can! It is the perfect size for the area I am using. Top opens properly and has soft close. It also has back wheels which are great for pulling can out of the area to change trash bags. Spacious size inside. Priced really well! Shipping was fast! Highly recommend!

My pets are crazy good at getting into the garbage. The first day I brought it home. Left the kitchen gate open and went to the garage for a few hours.When I came back in the can was tipped over, and the bag was shredded, but it remained closed!

Love it. Great quality, rolls in and out of place. It's rectangular form and size allows me to fit it between my island and a counter. Which means I have more space and don't see it. The lock means the dog doesn't get into it either.

Couldn’t give it 5 stars because of For degree of difficulty getting the lid on. It seems like such a simple process for a “ simple human” ( sorry couldn’t control myself from the obvious LOL) but it isn’t. Spent an hour when I received it and still couldn’t get it on. There’s a hook where you put through a center hole , very easy, , and then there’s two loops you line up with two extenders to snap on to but they don’t snap on .Gave up and this morning I just tried again for an hour and then looked at the questions submitted about how to get the lid on. Most tried using a hammer. Some were successful and some were not. Thankfully after 15 minutes of banging with hammer on both sides , I got it to stay on. Yay! I love the sleekness of the design. I love the gray color. I love the wheels in the back to roll it. I love the push down lever which I’ve only used 10 times so far but it seems sturdy.. Works well! The size is perfect for me. I had a round one before which was very difficult getting the bags in and out. I used store-bought brand on this one and it fits perfectly, so no more bags falling into the bottom of the can which was my pet peeve in the round one. I can update later but so far this seems like it will be perfect for me. So I would recommend you purchasing this if you have the patience to get a hammer and bang the lid on the back or a very strong person in your household.to push it down. One good thing about this is I am fairly confident the lid will never fall off. Oh and by the way by banging it I used a towel to hit the corners. There were no marks . This tells me that this is very durable. Really wish I could give it a five but the difficulty with the lid placement won’t allow me to do that, but like I said, I still do recommend it.

Got a dog that will get into the trash? My husband passed away, and he was much adored by my two Australian shepherds. Because I lived in such a remote location, I took up temporary residence on my son's farm in an apartment. My housekeeper remained at my main residence for three months, and my dogs loved her as well. The move to the farm was traumatic for them. They'd lost Dad and their beloved friend who had loved them so well. They became very aggressive about acting out, chewing on woodwork, tearing open overnight bags, and strewing garbage all over the place. I have one incredibly clever Aussie who can open any door he sets his mind to open, sometimes even when they are locked with a drop-down bolt. If I left them alone for even thirty minutes, I came home to kitchen garbage strewn from one end of the house to another.To be fair, these dogs had never done things like this until grief assailed them. But I knew I needed something bulletproof for my kitchen garbage while they adjusted to a whole new world. I found this Simple Human trash can, with a lock-down lid. I figured my clever dog would figure it out. But when it arrived, I even needed a trial session to figure it out. Once I did, it was easy to unlock. Boy, did it ever take care of the strewn trash! My Simple Human trash can might have been knocked over and pushed into the living room when I came home, but not one trace of garbage was outside of it. All I had to do was put the garbage can back where it belonged. No mess on the floor, period, and the can has no sharp edges to damage anything when it's shoved by a doggie nose.I stayed home all year, even so, making my necessary trips to town as brief as possible. My dogs needed one person who didn't leave, and they got over their grief in time. They had done nothing naughty for months. But then my housekeeper, dearly loved, unexpectedly found another job that better suited her, and not that long after, I had a prescheduled trip abroad to see my son. I knew it would hit my dogs hard when I suddenly disappeared and left them with a new caregiver, even though it had been over a year. And, oh, yes, they were naughty while I was away. I'm sure they felt frantic. The last anchor in their lives had vanished, and I was gone for a month. They'd been so good for so long that I didn't think to tell the new caregiver about the lock on the garbage can lid. She endured daily trash attacks while I was gone. When I got home, she and I made a trip into town together and left the dogs alone. Before we left, I locked the lid of this trash can. When we got home, it was pushed into another room, and my clever dog had figured out kind-of, sort-of how the lock worked. But all his efforts went for naught. The trash can will forever bear the marks of his teeth gouging the plastic and metal near the locking mechanism, but the trash can prevailed.My evaluation of this trash can:It holds nearly as much as a wider and more space-stealing trash can.Regular tall kitchen garbage bags fit it nicelyIt rolls around easily for sink-side tossing when you are peeling and dicing. The lid stands up for that, making it easy.It wipes down easily on the outside to keep it looking greatThe foot pedal lift works great for easy opening of the lidIt's very attractive, as trash cans goIt is stable and doesn't tip over unless a big dog tackles itI think a Rottie or Pit Bull could manage, with enough time, to chew part of the lid off, but it would require some time, and for most dogs, it is impervious to teeth. (Mine will always bear barely noticeable scars, right around the slide lock because my dog is so smart, but the can still looks nice.)My ending recommendation is that I've never owned a better, dog-proof trash can. I love it so much I even got one for my son.
