Review on πŸ—‘οΈ Brushed Stainless Steel 10L / 2.6 Gallon Profile Open Trash Can by simplehuman by Cordany Grissom

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slightly misleading but well built, aesthetic and price

I deducted a star because I think this bin is somewhat misleading, intentional or not. Based on the one image shown, one would assume that the stainless steel plating would continue seamlessly around the entire circumference of the vessel, but this is not the case. On the side of the can that is not visible in the photo, the metal is very visible. It's not a deal breaker or even close, but I'd still like to know about this pre-purchase and it could easily be shown with more than one photo (which always seems a bit iffy when buying online). Another thing is that it's just the size of the glass. Nothing in the photo shows relative size, so just think about how small 10 liters really is and how much you appreciate having a bigger bin for less rubbish. Personally, I value style over size in this case, so I'm willing to make more junk to see how elegant this stainless steel vessel looks. Overall I would recommend this trash can. As far as custom bags go, they fit almost exactly, but not quite. The R earbuds are still too deep. You'll have to spend extra time filling the liner under the cap to hide it, whether you're buying a Simple Human custom R-Liner or another 10L liner from a cheaper brand. Personally, I'd also like the bags to be black, so once I run out of those not-so-custom tailored liners, I'll switch to another brand. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I don't think I'll ever go back to plastic trash cans.
