simplehuman Slim Step Bathroom Can — 9L Stainless Steel Bin
Product description
What it is: a slim-profile step can designed for bathrooms, with a 9L (2.4 gallon) capacity and tall, narrow proportions to fit tight spaces while offering full-featured engineering.
Construction and durability: the pedal is all-steel and engineered to endure at least 150,000 presses — intended to perform for decades of daily use. The exterior is brushed stainless steel treated with a silver-ion coating to resist fingerprints and water spots while keeping the stainless look.
Quiet closing and hinge design: patented Lid Shox motion control provides a slow, silent lid descent so it won’t slam in quiet rooms. A concealed internal hinge allows the lid to open smoothly even when the can sits flush against a wall, eliminating the need for rear clearance.
Liner system and inner bucket: the built-in liner pocket holds spare Code R custom-fit liners inside the can, dispensing them one at a time for quick replacement. The removable inner bucket is molded from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and lifts out for straightforward emptying and rinsing, avoiding hard-to-clean corners and residue buildup.
Compatibility and extras: designed to work with Code R custom-fit liners (extra-thick, double-seamed to prevent bunching and slipping). The unit pairs form and function in a compact footprint and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Quiet operation and dependable
Works perfectly — quiet and consistent. I hesitated because it’s costly, but previous units have lasted, so I bought again. Built well and reliable, so I think it’s worth it.

Smartly thought out for bathrooms
This is my second unit from the brand. Compact enough for a tight bathroom, and the design hides the bag edge rather than letting it drape over the rim. The internal stash for spare bags is really handy. Simple concept, but the small design touches improve daily use.

High-end quality for a premium product
Sleek appearance and excellent build. It’s more expensive than some competitors, but I chose it because of the quality and feel.

Not inexpensive, but well made and attractive
Performs flawlessly. I use the matching Code R bags — they tuck inside the compartment and fit without slipping. Bought it to keep my small dogs out of the bathroom trash; the pedal works smoothly, the lid seals, and it looks sharp. Small but holds a week or two of typical bathroom waste. Worth it for the build quality.

Sleek and controls odors
One of the better bathroom bins I’ve owned. Durable, stays clean, and I like the white finish I chose.

High quality and functional lid
Typical durability from this maker — many of their products outlast many years. The lid opens wide to about 90 degrees so trash drops in cleanly instead of bouncing off a half-open lid.

Small and discreet but holds more than expected
Very pleased with this purchase. It hides away neatly yet holds more than I thought. Solid construction and feels like it will last a long time.

Stylish slim pedal bin
A stylish, slim pedal bin with high build quality; not inexpensive but worth it. The anti-fingerprint finish is a nice touch—no greasy marks visible. Looks like the product photos.

Stylish, compact, very practical
I purchased two of these and am very pleased. The stainless finish and clean lines are far more elegant than typical bathroom bins. Size fits corners yet still works for everyday use. I use the brand bags and they fit exactly—no slipping or messy overhang. A nice balance of looks and function.

Good overall but I’d like other lid styles
I own several of this brand’s cans and quality is consistently high. These are nice, though I wish the smaller size offered a butterfly-style lid. Capacity is modest, but the dimensions are useful.

Tiny but a perfect fit for my space
Was surprised at how small it is out of the box, but it fits my tiny bathroom perfectly. Smooth pedal action and a damped slow close. The internal spare-bag compartment is a thoughtful addition. Not cheap, but clearly well designed and made.
