simplehuman 6 Liter / 1.6 Gallon Compact Plastic Round Bathroom Step Trash Can, Black

TL;DR: Great as a bathroom trash, and as an outdoor dog poop collector. Love it. Note that it is NOT DOG PROOF.I bought this trash can to use outside for my daily dog-poop-pickup. It is perfect for this use. I searched all over in various stores and on amazon for something that would be good for this purpose, and this is it. I keep it outside in the backyard, but somewhat sheltered from the sun and rain. It is able to fit plastic grocery bags, which are perfect to collect the poop and then pull out and toss the whole bag in the larger garbage can when it's full.The foot pedal makes the poop-picking-up process easy, like when you have a large shovel-full (gross) and you don't have an extra hand to open the lid, and you're hurrying as fast as you can to dump it in there so you can stop holding your breath (haha). The can feels sturdy, like it will last. Sure, it isn't as heavy duty as the trash cans that are provided by the trash service, but good enough for general home use. The lid definitely keeps the SMELL INSIDE THE CAN, which is soooo important. Man, when that lid is opened, it is like death... ugh. Luckily the lid drops quickly once you release the foot pedal. The lid is not heavy at all, but it is heavy enough to close quickly and completely without needing to touch it or close it harder. Some other trash cans I've dealt with in the past have really flimsy-closing lids, and you would have to press them again to close them all the way, and those other ones definitely don't keep smells inside; that is NOT the case with this trash can.One thing worth mentioning; This can is NOT DOG PROOF. If you know that your dog is one that likes to mess with things, this can would NOT keep them out. The lid IS ABLE TO OPEN WITHOUT PRESSING THE FOOT PEDAL. A dog could likely get his nose on the lid and open it. Or could tip it over and the contents (gross) would spill all over. My dog doesn't mess with things (so glad), so this is not a factor for me.I will definitely be buying more of this trash can in the future. If I ever have to replace my backyard one, and more for the bathrooms around my house. I was NOT PAID for my review; it is just a good product that I feel deserves rightful recognition.

Love this so much I've purchased three. One for the bathroom. One for the bedroom. One for the lanai. Looks good. Easy to clean. Pedal works everytime. The bags fit perfectly.

Such a great product. Looks nice, works well. Nice size inside it. Lid is quiet on open and close.

Smaller than expected but definitely durable and good looking. Would have got 5 stars if the price was a bit cheaper. Great can for the bathroom though

I love this garbage can for my bathroom. I’ve had it for 2+ years now. Only thing I don’t like is that you can’t open the lid with your hand and it’ll stay open. It just closes no matter what you do. Annoying to change the bag when the lid won’t stay open.

Great little trash can for the bathroom. Nicely made and has an insert that can be removed and cleaned. The step works nicely that opens the lid. Highly recommend.

This is a perfect bathroom trashcan. I was looking for a trashcan with a lid that was also a nice white color so it didn't seem too out of place in the bathroom. It seems like a lot of the good small trashcans with lids are either silver or black. This one looks great in the bathroom!The 6 liter size is perfect for bathroom duty as it can hold all your usual bathroom trash (tissues, floss, wrappers, etc.) for several days or more (depending on how many people you have using the bathroom) without overflowing.The top does not "soft close" like some larger Simplehuman trashcans, but since the body and top are plastic instead of metal there isn't much noise when it closes. If you really don't want to have any noise at all you can simply use your foot to control the speed of the lid.The trashcan stays in place when you use the foot pedal and does not slide or pivot towards your foot. Some other trashcans I tried in the store had quirks where they would either try to tip over towards you, or for some reason the interior basket would actually rise up when the lid opened. This one works just like you'd expect and doesn't move or do anything strange when the lid opens.I especially like the removable interior basket. It's simple to just pull the basket out and remove the liner. The Simplehuman liners are great since they fit the edge of the basket perfectly without any excess slack that might cause the bag to either fall into the basket or stick out beyond the lid. Using the official liners adds a little bit of ongoing cost, but in my opinion it's worth it as the trashcan is really designed to work best with the exact sized liners and my frustrations after fighting with oversized bags is one of the reasons I went with Simplehuman to begin with.I own one of the larger Simplehuman trashcans for my kitchen so I was familiar with the brand's quality and the ease of use that the special liners combined with the trashcan provides. This smaller trashcan lives up to the Simplehuman reputation.

I like everything about it...size to sturdy, good design, inner bucket, good seal, easy to open/close, good value.
