simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, Black Plastic

The item arrived packaged well and on time or early. Assembly was very easy.This is a robust well made bin. No sharp edges or hazards that I can see. The surface texture is nice to the touch and the thickness of the plastic is more than adequate. It has a look and feel of quality.The bin stands very steady even when the edal is activated. I anticipate that it will last for a long time and I would buy it again.

Really amazing build quality and soft lid operation. The size is fairly large so make sure you check the measurements before you order. Check others review on how to easily fit the hinge cover.

Guter Mülleimer für die Küche...nicht zu riesig

J'ai tellement aimé cette poubelle que j'en suis à ma 4e. J'en offre et j'en mets aux 4 coins de la maison. Cette poubelle est très solide, design, commode. La pédale ne vous lâchera pas, le plastique est épais et de bonne qualité. Cette marque est très sérieuse et de très belle facture.

Just got my "Slim Jim" kitchen trash bin today, but so far I'm a happy camper! Bin was exactly as I expected and arrived with no damage. Was relieved that it also was pre-assembled as some people have reported problems with attaching the lid. Biggest challenge was figuring out how to unlock the "Pet Lock" on the lid. Don't know if mine was particularly snug or what, but it took a while to figure out how to disengage it. I'm not sure what I finally did that was successful after about five minutes of pushing,/pulling/prying this way and that.I got the "Stone" color. As others have noted, the color is definitely a light grey (kinda industrial), not beige/light tan. *Wish* the company *would* make an almond/off-white one or make this one in the "mocha" color they offer on other models. If you have brown cabinetry, biscuit appliances, etc., an off-white or brown shade would be more complementary.I didn't buy the SimpleHuman garbage bags that are designed for this unit. A white tall kitchen bin bag I already have two boxes of work fine.You do have to allow a couple inches clearance at the back so the hinged lid can open without rubbing against the wall. You also have to allow maybe 1/4" clearance on the side as if you put the bin next to an appliance/cabinetry the lid/unit is wider than the base and if you don't "scootch" the bin over a bit from a side wall, the lid won't clear. No biggie, unless the space you have available is very tight.PROS: Nice quality, pleasing design. Like the fact the bin has a foot pedal and an "auto-close" feature which means essentially the unit is "hands-free." With the pedal/hinge on the the narrow side you get maximum storage capacity, with a slim profile that fits into tighter spaces. Nice it has wheels on the back, but they are of no value/use to me. Ditto for the pet lock. Didn't have to pay an arm and a leg. Another unit I was looking at would have cost me over 100 bucks. (For a stupid kitchen trash bin!!!)CONS: Color selection. "Pet Lock" and lid/hinge "installation" can be tricky though I was lucky/figured it out.BOTTOM LINE: Good value for the money (at least to date). How durable it is in the long run remains to be seen, but so far I am very pleased. This one was attractive, priced right, had several features that are found on much more expensive models, and was of the right size/dimensions for my needs.UPDATE: The Stone (grey) color was really getting on my nerves from an aesthetic standpoint. Picked up a can of off-white spray paint designed to be used on plastics. Taped off the handle, hinges, wheels, pedals, etc. and went for it. Now I have a great trash can that now looks equally nice as it complements the floor, cabinets, appliances in my kitchen instead of sticking out like a sore thumb color-wise. Woo-hoo!!! Very, very, happy camper, now. :)
