40L Butterfly Pedal Recycling Bin

I was looking for a new kitchen bin and already knew of the reputation of Simplehuman. After a little research I quickly decided to invest in the 30L butterfly pedal bin. Arriving quickly I was surprised at how compact the unit is (smaller than I expected in comparison to the photo's however for me this is not a negative) I was so pleased to see that the stainless steel finish truly is finger print proof! I really do not like stainless steel products as it marks and scratches so easily and is a nightmare to keep clean. Thankfully this is not something I need to worry about with this bin! The bin itself is very smart and discreet and you really can see the quality in every aspect. The unit is lightweight yet robust and easy to handle. The bin is functional as the butterfly lids allow full access to the can (unlike my previous Typhoon Capsule pedal bin which had a tiny opening making it difficult to scrape plates etc) I like the way in which smaller details have been thought of such as the soft close function and how you can prop the lids open for longer use and bag changes. There is even a built in rest enabling you to tilt the plastic bucket at an angle allowing for easier bag changes. I have also purchased the Simplehum can liners and will continue to do so. They fit perfectly and ensure no liner is seen when the lids are closed. Not only that but they are strong and well constructed with reinforced seams and useful tie handles. I am the kind of person who will invest in a quality item and if you are looking for a new kitchen bin that will not only function perfectly and look great in your kitchen then look no further; you've just found it!

My bin was delivered this morning, it is absolutely beautiful & perfect too. Very well made & a bag of bin liners included which I wasn't expecting so nice surprise. Looks very smart in our bathroom. Quite a lot of money for a bin but definitely worth it and it has a 10 year warranty. I am very pleased with my purchase. I can certainly recommend Simple Human.

we needed to upgrade in the kitchen and really searched for a quality smallish bin, this one is superb. Not cheap but well worth it. Well made, foot operated, fits in a small space, closes itself slowly - no noise.

The best bins you can buy. My last Simplehuman lasted 15 years and we only changed it as the shape did not fit the new property bin location, they are solid made out of premium stainless and may be expensive however they are made to last.

It looks as good as a bin can, it is beautifully finished, the silent, cushioned mechanism wows every time I press the pedal... no hideous metallic clang! Its useful deep but narrow shape perfectly fits the space I have in the kitchen and provides loads of rooms for days of kitchen rubbish (as well as anything else anyone wants to jetisson when passing—kitchen bins can fill fast!). It is also very convenient to empty—especially if you use the Simplehuman bags). This is actually the second of these we have owned. Its near-identical predecessor did a fantastic job for 20 years but, being the painted version, eventually became a little too scratched by the children and the hinge finally dislocated—after about 70,000 pedal presses! There is no cooler bin to have. It may be a little pricey but it's worth every penny.

This bin is excellent for the space I have - it fits and opens under the counter but is not so low that I have to bend to use it. It is quite large but has a slim profile so doesn't dominate and there's enough room to get a good quantity of both rubbish and recycling into each bin. A wheel at the back would be useful as it's slightly cumbersome to move. The bin bags provided (10) fit well and are sturdy. I am very pleased with the bin but would note that it came with a dent in the side (annoyingly, the side that is visible in the room!). The packaging wasn't damaged at all and the bin was well protected within the box so I can only assume, as other reviewers have commented, that this dent happened in the factory and that it was sent out like that. I'm not going to return it because it seems likely that any replacement might also be dented and it is largely a cosmetic fault. However, this is an expensive item and it should be in perfect condition when sent out and I'm disappointed. I've only had it a week so can't speak to its durability but the only bin to have survived the staff room in my workplace for more than a year is a simplehuman one so I have hopes that this one will last a long time.

Great design. We have the 30ltr capacity. With the butterfly lid you can keep it under a worktop and have plenty of room to use it.

It’s a very good-quality bin; just be aware that the 45L size is quite big and a bit heavy too.

Excellent product at a great price. Fast delivery. Great communication

El contenedor de basura es elegante, práctico, se ve de calidad! Super útil para espacios reducidos donde poner un bote es además de útil, hasta decorativo. Y su sistema de cierre de la tapa, genial, no se azota y cierra poco a poco! Vale el precio pagado.

Buen tamaño y funcionalidad

I waited 3 years to buy this can, and I couldn't be more happy with it. It's beautiful and functional. I FINALLY have a trash bin is not a point of shame in my kitchen! It's pretty much a work of art, only better because it serves a purpose! The soft-close lid gives you enough time to drop in whatever refuse you need to, without having to keep your foot on the step. The butterfly lid closes flush with the can, leaving no leverage for dogs to be able to nose into the can—a problem we've had with every other trash can. No more having to remember to orient the can in a certain direction before leaving home in order to keep the dogs out. The interior plastic can lifts out easily and smoothly. The matching can liners fit the plastic can liner perfectly. As with any product, how satisfied you will be with the product depends on what you were looking for. One 1-star reviewer complained that this can doesn't contain odors, but nothing in the product description makes any claim that the can WOULD contain odors. That said, it does so far better than my old trash can did. If you regularly have stinky trash that you know will be sitting around for a few days before you remove it, you should exercise the same caution as you would with any other large can, and not put stinky stuff into it until you're ready to take out the trash. OR, buy a smaller can that forces you to take out the trash more frequently—this can comes in several sizes and this one is the largest-capacity model. Simple common sense. I don't clean out leftovers from my fridge until the trash is ready to go out anyway. This product is the answer to everything I hate about dealing with my trash, and could only be improved upon if it took out the trash itself. It comes with a 10 year warranty, and I'm sure I will have this can for longer than that—or a replacement if this one fails. I saved up for this to be able to afford the luxury, and it is worth ever penny. You won't be sorry you made this purchase. CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTE: the customer service for this vendor was incredible. I ordered my can, and it arrived slightly dented, even though the packaging was completely in tact. I groaned and was so disappointed, thinking that the return process was going to be such a pain in the butt. I even considered just living with the dent, except it was on the side that would not be facing a wall, and I paid so much for it I really felt I should have a new can in perfect condition. When I got on to Amazon and initiated the return/exchange process it was COMPLETELY PAINLESS! I stated what was wrong. I had the option of exchanging or returning with options to have a driver bring a label to my house and pick up the return! (Or to drop off someplace if I preferred.) And I didn't have to wait for my returned item to arrive before they sent a new one. I received my replacement can the next DAY! And the driver that dropped it off picked up my return and hauled it away. For an exchange, it was the most painless and convenient exchange I've ever had to deal with.

Bello esteticamente... di ottima qualità....funzionale.... peccato un' ammaccatura laterale... dovrebbero proteggerlo di più nell'imballo....
