## Description

Product Description A mid-size butterfly trash can for the in-between rooms. simplehuman's 30L butterfly step can has a split-door lid that opens from the center for maximum vertical clearance under low overhead — perfect for laundry rooms, walk-in pantries, mudrooms, and mid-size kitchens.The slim, space-efficient shape fits in tight gaps where a standard step can won't. simplehuman's patented Lid Shox® technology controls the motion of both lids for a slow, silent close every time, and the strong steel pedal is engineered for 150,000 steps.The removable inner bucket is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and lifts out for easy disposal and cleaning.Better together with simplehuman's Code H custom fit liners. Backed by a 10-year warranty. Brand Story We design tools that help people become more efficient at home. Day to day life has room for improvement. That's the basic thinking behind simplehuman. Many activities in our daily routine are so basic that we take them for granted. Washing our hands, cleaning up after a meal, grooming and prepping our appearance. Through innovation and new technologies, we find ways to streamline these simple tasks. We call our products tools for efficient living.

Review: Mind-bogglingly expensive, and totally worth it - I had an earlier version of this can -- I think the only difference is that the older one had a black plastic lid. It cost an outrageous amount when I bought it about 8 years ago, but I'd forgotten how exorbitant these things are until the tabs on the lids broke off and we had to buy a new one.* It's far more expensive, and far more beautiful, than any trash can has a right to be. As much of a splurge as this is, it's so worth it if it's going anywhere where anyone will see it. Because let me tell you, this thing is gorgeous in person. The quality is as obvious not only when you look at it, but when you use it. It just doesn't make sense to furnish your kitchen beautifully, carefully select the countertop material, the faucet, the sink, etc, and then cheap out on a plastic monstrosity from Wally World that'll get stained in a gross rainbow of uncleanable browns after a few months of use. This lovely item will hold its beauty for at least 8 years of hard use -- ours certainly did -- and it works whisper-quietly, closing with surgical precision that muffles virtually all kitchen-waste stench. I do have one complaint. The item comes with sample "simplehuman" kitchen trash bags. They're lovely, but why on earth would I buy them when I can get excellent trash bags at Costco for a fraction of the price? Well, (they're probably hoping), because regular tall kitchen can bags are a little shallow for this can. They fit fine, but they're a bit "short-sheeted" -- they don't quite reach the bottom of the can. Nevertheless, they work okay, and that's what we use. Maybe you can recoup a bit of the exorbitant cost that way too... *After dealing with simplehuman recently to get replacement parts for an old item of theirs, I have since realized that I could probably have simply bought replacement lids and kept the old can, and saved a C-note. Oh well. Perhaps someone reading this can learn from my mistake.
Review: Expensive, but likely worth it - It's a garbage can and it's expensive. However, it is unique and excellent quality. Looks and performs better and smoother than anything similar. Completely pet proof since there is no lip for noses to get under to flip up to get access to the contents. This was the main reason we wanted to try this can. The lid is flush, fits perfectly, and there are little thoughtful details that you didn't know would be helpful. We also have the dry food dog can which was also expensive, but we never regretted our purchase. It has been a couple of years, and performs as it did from day one. Also very high quality, with thoughtful important details not available with similar products.

It's a garbage can and it's expensive. However, it is unique and excellent quality. Looks and performs better and smoother than anything similar.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's true, It's true, It really is dog- proof !!!!
*by A***N on February 28, 2012*

First, I must say that I almost never write product reviews but this trash can is amazing and has saved me from having to clean up after my dog every day or keeping the garbage can on a kitchen counter so that he couldn't get to it! I never wanted to spend over $ 100.00 for a garbage can, but I have to tell you it is worth every penny. I had ordered the 10 gallon model but found it was too big for a New York City sized kitchen, so I returned it and purchased the 8 gallon model, which is the perfect size for my kitchen. It is very attractive looking, sleek and modern and does not leave fingerprints. The butterfly mechanism opens very easily by the foot pedal and it's even a kick to watch it close so smoothly with no noise when you take your foot off the pedal. My dog can't figure out the pedal (he is a 25 lb. Shiba Inu), nor can he figure out how to open the can from the top. Also, it is heavy enough, that he can't knock it over. I suppose bigger dogs may try, but in that case I would buy the bigger model of this garbage can. I have owned it for three weeks and it's a joy to leave left-overs, papers, and other debris in the can until it is full and not worry that the contents will be dragged all over the kitchen and living room. All I can say folks, is that I am so pleased with this purchase and am thrilled it was able to solve the problem with my dogs "garbage hunting" habits. I say don't hesitate to purchase this, I don't think you will be sorry.
