The Simplehuman pedal bin is great for small to medium households, with a generous 45l capacity. I found this to be plenty for around two weeks’ worth of non-recyclable rubbish.

I have the simple human 3rd top row, and couldn’t be happier.the separate lids for trash and recycling keep the smell down. But if you can’t recycle that’s a no brained for you then. I do think Kohler is typically more sturdy than simple human though.

They work okay. They just always sag down when the garbage is half full from the weight because they don’t seem to be tight enough at the top to hold.

I just got one of these, and the lid does not hold the trash bag in place to keep it from sliding or even falling into the interior can. I tried the Simplehuman N size bag that came with the trash can, and I thought it would fit nice and tight to the can but it doesn't.
