I've had the Simple Human trash can for many years and it still functions perfectly and because the lid closes so efficiently and keeps odor in, it keeps the dog out of it. Well worth the price if you can swing it
Keeping the dog out of the van is worth it’s weight in gold!
@@Layput you're CLUELESS
DOGS ALWAYS CRAVE HUMANS FOODS
Does the trash bag go around the top of the can or is there an inside liner/rim?
I almost choked when the $180 was the winner
One day you will be mine, Simplehuman 13.2 Gallon Stainless Steel Rectangular Kitchen Step Trash Can.
I think they are hanging out in my Amazon wish list with these shows ideas! Thanks for always reviewing everyday items that make a difference in my home
I have the cheapo Sterilite but with a step for opening. Works great, and it was around $40 at Target.
I have a similar trash can with the footstep 👣 lid. The ease of use and ease of changing the bag makes it an all time favorite.
For $130.00 I think I will stick with the grocery sack hanging on pantry door. Cost price $ .00

So does my free plastic bag from the grocery store
Funnily enough, this review popped up in my feed 2 hours after my Simplehuman trash can broke. I bought it on sale at TJ Maxx about 15 years ago. I paid, if I remember correctly, about $60. It has worked faithfully all these years, and now has some problems with the hinge. My husband managed to fix it for the time being, but it's time to start looking for a deal on another one. My requirements for buying the first one were that it had to be wide enough to hold family-size meat trays from the supermarket, have a way to secure the bag inside, have a removable liner, and keep our Border Collie from getting into the trash. The bonus feature you didn't mention was the very handy little button that keeps the lid open when you slide it forward.
Our Simplehuman 55-Liter Rectangular Step Trash Can with Liner Pocket is definitely worth the money we paid for it. The pedal that opens the lid goes all the way across the bottom instead of being a small piece. It's a great design, and we've used it over two years with no problems at all.
Bob Sacamano I had a Nine Stars motion sensor can as well. The opening mechanism failed after ~2 years.
@@DrunkHoboBobo Sounds nice but we have a convenient recycling bin already in the garage.
I LOVE my Simple Human butterfly lid all-stainless can. It was quite a splurge, but feels so sturdy and it’s beautiful to look at.

Actually, just a real consumer who purchased the trash can with a 20% off coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Right??? When I got mine I just opened and closed it because the mechanisms are so smooth 😍
me at 7:30 PM: i should really try going to bed early tonight
me at 3:00 AM:
Hi! Love this channel!! I am looking for a popcorn air popper and would like to see this in an upcoming equipment review.
I can back the recommendation on this one. I got sick of replacing the cheap plastic ones when the foot pedal inevitably broke, so I decided to see if you get what you pay for in trash cans. I got this on sale plus a 20% off coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond. That was 10 years ago, and it still works like it's brand new, and I never have to fuss with it. Like any pedal-operated can, it does get pushed backward over time, but since it's fairly heavy, it doesn't do it as fast; I usually just move it back into place when I take out the trash. It is ridiculously overpriced at retail, but find it on sale and it's worth it.
i still have my 39 year old rubbermaid plastic step on peddle lid comes up trash can. i use a box cutter to cut up cardboard for recycling on top. is still works like a champ
Unfortunately, they don't make them like they did 39 years ago. I can't tell you how many Rubbermaid and Sterilite plastic step-on cans I replaced before I got sick of the irony of filling up the landfill with trash cans.
I came to greece and everyone thought i was crazy to put a trash can in a barrel and ship it over!! I’m sending this video to all the people who said I was nuts! I have the simple human rectangular size Q... worth every penny !!!
I cannot in a million years imagine spending nearly $200 on a kitchen trash can. I would say even $30 is splurging.
Danielle Anderson I'd spend $200 on a roast, a trash can....no more than $50, I'd say.
@@michelleadams5609 a roast?? You can buy a half a cow for that price.
Honestly, after buying an IKEA trash can that I absolutely hate, I'd probably splurge. I've never been happy with any trash can I've ever owned.
I have the simple human it was a wedding gift in 1991 still going strong. I am a kitchen manager for Chili’s and this can is great. I have the simple human auto open doesn’t work but it’s good in my backyard kitchen.
I have a $30 sensor opening trash can and I have owned it for 6 years. It has 4 AA batteries and still has the original ones in it. I love it because I can crack eggs and not touch the lid. I would not even know why I would replace it. If it ever did stop working it still has a spot to manually open and close it. As a standard 13gal container I empty it once a week without any smell and I think it's been an excellent purchase.
What make/model is it? Some of us may want to look into buying one.
It really is a beautiful trash can
We had simplehuman trashcans at my old ice cream shop and they are fantastic. There's other pros they didn't mention. 10 year warranty. If the can broke (was always the step to open function with the general public using it) I could take it to Bed Bath & Beyond for a free replacement and they handled the warranty claim. The liners. They sell trash bags that are perfectly sized for the cans. You don't have to deal with standard grocery store bags being too big and slipping down in the can. They're a little pricier, but worth it imo. Bed Bath & Beyond used to have their $29/year membership (RIP) that gave you 20% off all purchases and that paid for itself in trash bags for my store.
Can you guys do a video on how to make French onion soup? Please?
After 10+ years of heavy use, my Polder Wink can broke. I’m sorry they don’t make these anymore. I’m not a big fan of the flip up lid variety, but want an enclosed can. And since I typically have both hands full, need a foot petal. These reviews come in handy.
I clicked this with an embarrassing speed. I hate my current trash can, but I can’t decide what I want.
Simple Human stuff is very nice, but changing that twice a day...when there trash bags are so expensive. I don't think so. I've considered them on many occasions until I went to Bed Bath and Beyond, saw the prices of the bags and couldn't believe it.
There has to be a happy medium right? I have a Tramontina (I forget how it's spelled) from Sam's Club that I've used for 2 years and it's gone through the ringer and still looks amazing. No fingerprints.
I love my SIMPLE HUMAN. They work. I also love their trash bags. They don’t rip & they fill the cans.
I cAnt find the 17.99 one on Amazon or ebay
Why the heck can't we get a divided trash can one side for de compost able things. Food scraps cabbage cores etc and the other side for plastic metal etc
you didn't even try the good touchless cans....I have the simple human one and I love it. works without fail....they even have a voice controlled one too
I have a rectangular Kohler trash can. Love it. AND it takes ANY liner. Perfect size for paper grocery bags so NO PLASTIC BAGS! Yay ! Oh, and affordable.
Making and shipping a paper bag generates more pollution than making and shipping a plastic bag. Quite a bit more.
Adam needs to pop his collar too. I wonder how the background chefs keep straight faces.
What are they supposed to be laughing at...Julia's collar? They're probably used to it by now.
I with they had tested more trashcans... like, can I get a nice metal trashcan for $100? Nope, $200 or settle for a $20 plastic one :/
200 dollars oh hell. Give me that 55 Gallon BRUTE can lol
I'm quite happy with my 5 year plus old Simple Human trash can - never a problem, ever.
The issue I see hear with the complicated, bulky trash bins are just that, they're not as versatile. I have a cheap plastic trash bin and although I wish it had a lid, especially during summer days, I also like that its convenient. If I need to take it away from the kitchen and move it around the house on the occasion that I'm cleaning trash from other rooms, I can. After considering the pricing, I think I'm okay with just replacing my now cracked plastic trash bin with the exact same kind.
Have you tried the Rubbermaid SlimJim?
The Brabantia one wins hands down. I really dislike those that have a foot pedal. They didn't really discuss the ease of removing the trash bag which is a shame.
I bought a Simple Human trash can too and I’m really pleased with it. It is just the right shape and size for my kitchen, performs well and feels like a quality product and I’d got so fed up with the cheap one that I’d had before. It might be expensive for a trash can, but it is something you use multiple times every day.
I just toss my trash out the window into the back of my neighbors Mustang. He lost his license after a road rage incident after realizing he'd blown $180 on a hunk of recycled tuna cans to store his bong. So, until someone tells him about IKEA having everything to solve that problem for twenty bucks no one's gonna care.
My Grandfather always said you will never be sorry if you buy good tools. You have your choice. The good but inexpensive Sterlight (?) plastic garbage can or the expensive $189.99 never have to buy another piece of quality equipment garbage can. I want the piece of quality equipment that will outlast me.
After watching this, I bought 50L size for $130-ish price. My regular 13 gallon bags are uncomfortably tight and 16 gallon is just too big. I figured out that SimpleHuman sells their proprietary sized bags, and they aren't cheap.
Who the hell pays $185 for a kitchen trash can lol. Call me crazy but i’d rather just get the cheap sterilite and deal with the extra work of having to open it by hand. But tbh i found a good stainless steel can at home depot by their store brand for 35 dollars. Looks good and works good
You didnt review the Simple Human Automatic Can...? It's bar far the best!
Try polish trashcans
Great info but very pricey
Why did they replace Lisa with Adam?
Missing Lisa...
What the hell happened with the other Equipment review lady? 😑😑😑😑
Maybe she only does cooking equipment. He’s vintage...I like him and Jack Bishop.
She is not an equipment reviews lady. She is a gadget tester. She's never done "equipment reviews". Adam has been doing them since the very first show they ever aired.
@@joeymama4666
She's done cutting boards, blenders, food processors, skillets, Dutch ovens, knives and quite a few other non gadget items.
@@lordgarion514
Do you think I'm lying? They're still not equipment reviews. Look her up on the website. She is the "gadget guru". Like I said, Adam has always done the equipment reviews right from the very beginning of the show. Lisa has not. She has another big job, as some kind of highfalutin editor, so she only occasionally does her gadget gig on the air.
@@joeymama4666
No, I don't think you're lying, but I know for a fact that you're wrong.
Yes, she is called the gadget guru. No, skillets and blenders are not gadgets......stop talking stupid.
The foot pedal mechanism on my simple human broke after a couple months.
You got it from amazon right? Their returns are pretty easy, try to get them to replace it with another one and they probably will, might have better luck and just got a dud the first time.
I miss the old style of reviews where the lady just explained all their tests and was very sciency and to the point. These guys are cringy
This comment should have more upvotes. This format is very dated and honestly the ooooo's and ahhhhhh's were a bit much. They're just garbage cans lady.
Ya where'd that lady went
Lisa. She was legit.
People keep saying this, but ATK has been doing both styles of reviews for _years_ now. This isn't new, it's the style they use(d) in almost every episode of the PBS show. They've been putting up what appears to be the PBS shows broken up into the separate segments instead of the full episode to fit better with CZcams's algorithms, hence these standalone equipment and food tests.
Lisa still appears on the gadget reviews every now and then or when the justification for a product relies heavily on scientific explanations. This is just a trash can.
Ignore anyone in comments talking about Simple Human trash cans, they're obviously fake commenters plugging a product
It should also be obvious how to use it. I am a dog-walker and use a lot of other people's trash cans. I can't always figure out how to open kitchen trash cans to throw away paper towels after washing my hands. Trust me, dog owners, you want me to be able to wash my hands.
I recently replaced the round SS Step trash can I had for maybe 8 years for $40 at a discount store. I got this plastic Simple Human one on Amazon, available in a few colors for $49.99. It's great!

That simple human looks way too pretty and beautiful to put trash in - I worry that the trash bag would be visible at the top and ruin the clean lines of such a nice modern design…
Nope, don’t like foot pedal ones anymore. The only thing their “winner” has over the other foot pedal cans is the fact that the sides are straight. The sides of the cans that angle up towards the lid are hideous. Step on that pedal a couple of times and the bottom of the can scoots back to the wall. Eventually the lid won’t open because the wall prohibits it. Annoys me something fierce!
The pedal eventually broke on mine. It is not worth it after all. Never would I buy it again. It still looked fine but wouldn't close all the way; stinking up the whole place. Costco has better options.
Why would anyone use any of these trashcans? Why even buy one with a lid? I don't have time to mess with a lid - it just gets in the way. If I put something that smells bad in it, I take the trash out that night, rather than try to hide the odor
Uhh, throwing scraps into your bin? That's just crazy talk, I feed all mine to chippy (my wonderful potbelly pig). I'm sure ATK could sponsor quite a few piggies with all their trimmings and leftovers.
Only things that need the bin are certain plastics that I can't easily recycle or junk mail. Requires a couple extra bins but it's worth it imo.
Also since I don't throw away anything that rots, I don't need a bin with a lid that costs over 100 damn dollars!
The federal government learned many years ago that the best trash cans are those which is all metal and won't burn anything around it. The plastic ones will help spread a fire, and also the partial metal/plastic ones.
My grandma used a Galvanized Ash bucket as long as I can remember.
Garbage is garbage. I take my across the street and throw it in the garbage corral as I have it. I live in a Condo so I don’t ave to have garbage in my house.
hai
$10 is the max im spending for a trash can. yall just make no sense
Holy cow! The practiced folksiness is making my eyes bleed!
I want the lady tester back
what am I doing with my life...
I don't like to put a lid on my trash can, it gets in the way. I have had the same plastic can for over 20 years probably paid less than 10 bucks for it.
When atk recommends 20$ knives but 180 dollar trash cans. I can't with these people sometimes.
I am the best trash can for my kitchen
Jesus.
But you have to buy special garbage bags for it, they are usually round...
And isn't it bad if it's completely sealed. Yes, it doesn't smell but water from vegetables can't evaporate. And if it can breathe, it won't smell...
Nope, I use regular old bulk price Glad trash bags in mine. I've also used the Kirkland's brand in it.
Talk about throwing your money away literally for that trash can. No thanks.
If you actually buy a $180 trash can let me know. I'll come over to your house and smack some sense into you.
Not a bad way to use your tax refunds, just saying.
@@richardkoo7869 There are only two types of people who will buy a $180 trash can. The people who send their personal assistant over to pick it up and the people who will retire broke.
My mother-in-law got me one for Christmas. Who the fuck gives a garbage can as a gift, right?
It's the best garbage can I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, I'd never pay $180 for a can but this this thing is great.
i didnt have a choice, along with that four hundred dollar hair dryer she demanded to have .... but that damn ass ... boy i tell you what
@@randomsanwhich2 OH please like anyone is fucking you.
Rubbish bins...
Heirloom quality trash can. Spend the kids inheritance, pass it down to them.
These never last long. I wish they did a lifespan test. Mine broke after 2 years. Bit expensive for only 2 years
True, there are certain things that need to be tested over time to see how well they hold up.
pov: you're at a kpop consert
Should this feel like an infomercial? It kinda feels like an infomercial.
That's just how he sounds; he's always sounded like that in every episode I've seen him in. It's a very rehearsed style.
The scriptedness and tone of the speakers, especially the woman, was very grating....Offputting. And this also made me go #firstworldproblems
A lot of the trash you’re putting in those cans are things that should be going into the organic recycle bin. Not a real world test
This is so corny.
This is starting to be the simple human ad channel....for crying out loud there are other trash cans out there that are just as reliable as simple human with good build quality for much less price....anyone else noticing this!?!? They name dropped simple human almost all the time ..they didn't even say which won or lost the smell test? What was the point of that section!?!
See that's what someone that hasn't used a SImple Human bin would say.
Please stop talking, you should not comment without doing a bit of research. Now unfortunately there is no link to the project testing article in the videos description, what is there is a link to is the ATK website, it's actually the SECOND link (wow very little scrolling), click that link, this next step is a complicated one so pay attention, then in the search bar type "trash cans" or something related to that, from there you will find the article where they describe the test and scrolling down a bit more gives you a chart of sorts with the name, price, pros and cons of each product tested, just like every other products test. "But wait" you say to yourself, "I cannot see this read this article", yes like every company ATK needs money so to read the article you must pay a monthly fee. These aren't ad's, don't be ignorant, if "simple human" comes up so much then they must make good products. ATK is not paid to do these tests by companies if they were then no one would watch these, they stay impartial by having support from their subscribers, the paying kind not the YT kind.
@Braumeister Don't be ignorant ATK is produced in Boston and these aren't segments made for YT ATK makes this for TV then upload clips to YT. If you want full episodes you gotta get TV or become a paid subscriber on their website.
@Braumeister Nope, Daniel's right. This is a segment from an episode of their long-running PBS show. They produce another one called Cook's Country, and this year they've been uploading both to CZcams after a while. The last month or so, they seem to be splitting them up into one video per segment instead of per episode.
@@daniel26395
Thank you for explaining how they work. Lol but unfortunately some people will argue against facts till the cows come home.
Is this video just as useless as their last one with the towel holder?
You CAN'T be serious!! Anyone who'd pay close to $200 bloody dollars~TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!! FOR A TRASH CAN!! shouldn't be allowed to have money, as they have NO idea what to do with it and should give it to those who would NEVER pay $200 for a trash can! I just can't imagine. Really? And yet there they are in comments below~paying $200 for a trash can. It beggars belief!
I've been using the same trash can since the '70's. It's plastic. It's white. It holds a garbage bag. I clean it frequently. It cost about 8 bucks and still "works". What the hell else do you need it for.
Since when have bragging rights become what you use as a trash can. This world hurts my head.
