I like this trash can because they ACTUALLY designed it for human needs. There are many simplehuman design knock-off cans out there these days, and laughably, none of them fix the issues with the simplehuman can... except this can.1. You can't open the lids manually without the foot pedal. What if the pedal mechanism breaks? What if your positioned where it's awkward for you to reach the food pedal? Etc.. This trash can fixes that with the very subtle indentation on the otherwise inset lid, and it's easy enough to open that way, it's just big enough that you won't hurt your fingers trying to grasp under the lid to open it.2. You can lock the lid up in place without taking the entire top up, so the bag stays in place. SimpleHuman failed here.3. BAGS. SimpleHuman is running a racket and takin big $$ from everyone who buys their crap with their custom bags. NO, it is not necessary to have custom fit bags, just make a trash can that fits 90% of 13 gallon bags, PLEASE. I'm using Heafty 13 gallon and they work just fine on this can, no slipping experiences so far! They even have a little slot on the back of the hard liner to tuck in excess bag rim (this could be designed a little better but its sufficient)4. There is a hard can liner, so if your trash bag leaks liquid, you can remove the hard liner and wash that easily without having to try to was the entire can with lid still attached.5. Odor control. Can't say how well the carbon filters work yet but it's well designed.6. Flat back trash can can be placed right up against the wall.That's a lot of issues with the SimpleHuman "designed for humans" product! What a racket! This trash can is a savior!Complaints -1. The hard liner handles are not the best, sometimes get stuck a little when you slide them back down into place after changing the trash, but they do the job.2. The whole can rocks/moves a bit - they need to put some pads on the bottom or give it a little more bottom weight, then it would feel very solid and not quite as cheap. Not a deal breaker at all, 0 impact on usability.3. They could punch a couple holes in the hard can liner so that full trash bags can be pulled out easier instead of having that suction that makes it hard to pull bags out. If they add these holes, they should be a couple inches off the bottom of the hard liner so liquids don't leak out the bottom, and also be shaped like upward facing vents, so liquid could not escape out by running down the inside of the can. Even better, run/drill holes from the top of the hard liner to the very bottom inside the hard liner in the four corners. That way liquid would have to come from the very top of the can to get in there which is basically impossible, and you can still have the holes at the very bottom of the can for the air flow.They almost have a perfect trash can here.
