simplehumanDiaper Can with Odorsorb System (Odorsorb Pods and Odorsorb Liners), 18 Liter/ 4.8 Gallon, White Stainless Steel

I was using two 40L SimpleHuman "K" fit bins (one for trash; one for recyclables), though in my tiny kitchen they took up too much space. I have a low-waste home...no single-use items unless absolutely necessary, no paper towels, tissues, paper plates, boxed meals, wasteful consumerism, etc. so I didn't need to empty my bin weekly, but waiting until it was full caused odor issues.PROS: This dual 20L (40L total) "D" fit butterfly bin was a better fit so my trash would not get stinky. It will still take me nearly 2-weeks to fill each compartment. It takes up less space than the two bins, and the butterfly top keeps my rubbish from accidentally going out the side when I toss it in too quickly. The foot lever works awesome; it does not require a lot of pressure, but does not fly open easily, and has a quiet close feature. I am confident a dog could not easily get into the top...my dog is not a trash fiend but I like making sure he's safe anyway. The "stay open" lid is easy to adjust for when you need it open longer. I bought the custom fit liners and they have not leaked and they fit great. Being metal, I put my nephew's awesome artwork on a magnet on it.CONS: I have not yet been able to get the "bucket park" feature to work, and there doesn't seem to be anything for the inside bin to lean on to get it to stay while leaning forward, and have watched others' videos. Not sure the issue here but I will just have to remove the entire inner-bin to change the bag out. I do not believe you can attach the composter bin with this, though I would like to have that option.

Never thought I'd spend this much on trash cans, and my husband thought I had gone mad. However, once the 2 cans I ordered arrived securely packed in SimpleHuman boxes and also within larger Amazon boxes (they were massive packages!) and I set them up in the kitchen (one for recycling and one for garbage) we were both convinced I'd made the right purchase.The 13 gallon bags I buy in bulk from Costco or Sam's Club fit fine, but since each can came with 3 packages of sample bags (I think 2 or 3 bags per package), I'm using those for now. I've only had the cans a few days, but so far we really like them--and we only had to take the trash out ONCE in two days! We usually fill up our old can at least twice a day.The butterfly feature is the reason I purchased these particular cans, and the quiet close (they close slowly, they don't slap down!) is very nice. To change the bag, you only have to lift the back of the can and tilt it forward so that it stays propped up a bit, and pull the old bag out. No need to take out the entire plastic liner can. In other words, there is no lifting (other than the actual bag of trash). To keep the top open to peel carrots or whatnot, you just move the metal bars holding each side up into a little grooves and presto!--the can stays open for you.These have a 10 year warranty, for which I plan to register online. I purposely chose not to buy a motion sensor can because there seems to be too much chance it will fail. But these don't have any fancy mechanisms, as far as I can tell, so should hold up pretty well. The reviews seem to suggest this will be the case.The reason we replaced our little $10 plastic under-the-sink open trashcan is because the one year old cat we just adopted kept sneaking in the cabinet and dumping the trash all over the kitchen and dragging it out into the rest of the house! This TOTALLY solved our problem (though somewhat expensively--but that's neither here nor there!). And our recycling was going into an old plastic gallon ice cream tub and had to be taken out several times a day (and was gross to look at). Now we have this HUGE enclosed can and can put everything in there and take it out far less often. Everyone in the family is very happy with these can.So worth the money!!! If you are considering these and they fit your budget (I used birthday money, but I'm a little embarrassed to say this in my thank you note to mom :-), go for it. If all you are looking for is a trashcan, go to Walmart and spend $10-20. But if you want a trashcan that looks good, works really well, holds a lot, fits normal 13 gallon bags and will supposedly last for years, spend the extra bucks and be done with it. You'll be glad you did!
