About this item

  • MOTION SENSOR - Infrared fields sense the areas above and in front of the can so it opens automatically with just the wave of your hand.
  • FAST, SMOOTH AND WHISPER-QUIET - A precision motor and planetary gear system produces smooth, steady power — and you won't hear a thing.
  • NEAT AND EASY - The outer lid lifts up for easy access to the liner — no need to remove the top of the can or fumble with a bucket. When you're done, it closes over the liner to keep it neatly out of sight.
  • LINER POCKET - Keep liners where you need them. Dispense them one by one — no perforations or unraveling — from inside the can for a faster liner change.
  • CLEANER STAINLESS STEEL - simplehuman's invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and luster of the steel.

Product Description

Product Description

The simplehuman touch-free semi-round sensor bin opens automatically with just a wave of your hand so throwing rubbish away is quick, efficient and hassle-free. It has a motion sensor that is smart enough to adapt to you and the surrounding environment – no false triggers, no unexpected lid closures. This bin also features our innovative 'liner pocket,' which stores and dispenses liners from inside the bin for a faster liner change. The liner rim lifts up for easy access to the liner, then closes to grip and keep it neatly out of sight. An invisible nano-silver clear coat protects stainless steel from fingerprints and germs. The simplehuman code J liner refill packs store perfectly in this bin's liner pocket.

    It's a trash can! Om nom nom nom nom.
    Why on this beautiful green earth would anyone spend $150 on a garbage can? Because we can, I suppose. I like the look. Functionally, it's pretty solid. Sometimes I have to wave my hand around like an idiot to get it to open. Sometimes, if there's the slightest thing in the way of the lid when it closes, it gets mad and starts acting weird. I can tell there are some cheap plastic cogs in that motor assembly, but as long as you don't beat it up, keep it from lifting on its own, and allow proper clearance when it shuts, it seems to be alright. I'm kinda afraid it might roam the house at night and eat a child. The weirdly shaped garbage bags are slightly more expensive (even the amazon ones, though cheaper than the OEM bags) than traditional bags. Standard "tall" 13 gallon kitchen bags no not fair nicely with this can. They're too short. Your garbage will plummet to the bottom of the void, never to be recovered. I suppose you could put a spacer of sorts beneath a bag, but that would be silly. It's a nice can that functions well, and cleans easily.
