SIMPLI-MAGIC 60 Liter / 16 Gallon Rectangular Hands-Free Dual Compartment Recycling Kitchen Step Trash Can with Soft-Close Lid, Brushed Stainless Steel

Simple to use. Quality was good. It hold the bag not so well though.

I want to start by saying there are many reviewers who expressed their disappointment in the poor packaging this item came in, causing dents or scratches to the can. Ours was well packaged in a heavy duty cardboard box, each of the four corners were wrapped in Styrofoam, so there were no dents or marks on the can. It is quite long, to accommodate the two compartments, but it is narrower than the previous can we had so it fits in the same space. The lids open easily with the foot pedal, only a light press needed and the lids do not fly open to hit the wall, they open gently and easily, they also have a slow close. You can also hold them open for easier access during cooking or cleaning, you just need to give the lids a light push, while they are already open and they will stay open, just tap the foot pedal and they will close again. Others have expressed not liking the company logo on the top of each lid, they have bought stickers deafferenting the trash compartment from the recyclable one, since we do not put our recyclables in a plastic bag, not allowed in our municipality, the bright green bin is easily identified so we didn't cover the logos. We haven't been bothered by the logos. Highly recommended even with the high cost.

It’s nice garbage can. My only negative is I think it’s should have come with sample garbage bags and the deodorizer

I recently started using the SIMPLI-MAGIC 60 Liter / 16 Gallon Rectangular container for organizing various items around the house, and it’s been a real lifesaver. With its sturdy construction and generous capacity, it makes storing everything from tools to seasonal decorations effortless. The rectangular design is perfect for maximizing space, fitting neatly into tight corners or stacking with other containers. Plus, its durable build ensures it can handle regular use without showing much wear. Overall, it's a practical and reliable storage solution that has truly simplified my organization game.

The media could not be loaded. I added the decals which I’m obsessed with! But these trash cans look so good, best price I found and they are the perfect size for my kitchen. They work well, great quality and easy to clean

Tried this out because I wanted to save a couple bucks rather than buying from a bigger brand that’s slightly more expensive and that I knew you had to buy their bags.I assumed this SimpliMagic allowed you to put in regular garbage bags since there is no specific bag code like the other bins out there. However, immediately I noticed that regular trash bags bunch up, fall down, or just don’t stay.Some people have mentioned not using a bag at all which is guess is fine for the recyclables side (make sure to rinse and dry glass and cans well) but it wouldn’t do this for the side with regular trash. Sure, the insert bin pulls out but layers of rotting caked up food in the nooks and crannies of that thing is a no-go for me.Lastly, the design is just kind of weird. It mentions a feature for the lid to stay open. I feel like the quality of the lid opening is then messed up because I did that once and now my lid doesn’t open all the way. Also, it often takes multiple times to get the insert to slide into the correct position for the lids to close.Alas, it’s just a trash bin but it’s a real bummer for the price point that it doesn’t do any of the things that I paid for it to do. If I’d known this, I would have paid more money to buy the original bin that it’s ripping off.

Strange when putting in garbage bags because then it won’t close all the way. It takes some maneuvering. But the mechanism that allows it to close slowly broke! The plastic bit broke so now it slams shut. I was shocked something at this price levelWould break like that in a matter of days.

We were delighted by the idea of this dual can. One side for trash, one side for recycling. The pros are that it looks much nicer than the original trash can with a seperate rycling can. The cons are many. The size of bag needed for the can are much more expensive. The regular bags we have always used in or previous cans can be used, but they make it difficult to close the top of the can becuase of the excess plastic material (they are larger bags (almost twice the size). We have tried many different ways to put the bags in the removeable bin, and still as soon as we throw something away, the bag comes away from the bin and spills into the plastic bin or the metal part of the bin. The side we use for recycling is difficult as well. In order to prevent the plastic bin from getting messy, sticky, dirty, etc, we have to line it with a bag. But we can't put plastic bags of any kind in our recycling, so we end up pouring it out of the bag and then throwing the bag we had lined our can with in the garbage. We can't reuse it because it gets little holes and tears in it from the recyclables, or the inside of the bag gets wet from the recycleables inside. We though about making sure all the recyclables are dry before putting them in the recycling side of the can, but aside from hand drying each item that was wet, the time and energy to do that is ridiculous. We also tried leaving them on our counter to dry but then the counter is cluttered. It is past the return time frame for us to return this bin, so we can't return it. I wish I had thought this purchase through before making it. I hate this can.
