Honestly when I first got it I was very unimpressed. I then took all the stickers off and got to know it and it is really well made and very simple and intuitive, yes intuitive. The lid when it auto lowers is quiet and smooth and it can be locked when kids or animals are around as well as having the option of opening the lid by hand. I especially luv the back bar that sits up against the wall so the lid will never hit the wall because you aren’t playing guessing guess. Furthermore for as lightweight as it is, it is stable which really impresses me. The standard 13 gallon bag fits snuggly on without coming off the top lip in the bucket. The price is great the one this replaced had a bigger price tag. And lastly, I need you to sit down for this one. I got the indigo blue,,, AND IT MATCHES MY BLUE HYACINTH MACAW,,,mic drop GREAT PRODUCT Review: Inexpensive trashcan with impressive features - I never thought I'd get excited over a trash can, but I love this can. For the past several years, I have been using a very expensive electric / battery powered touchless stainless steel tall kitchen can. It worked great for the first few years, and then gradually over time, the lid had more trouble rising and stayed up for only a couple of seconds, so I decided I was going to go low tech this time and buy a can that had a foot pedal. If you are reading this review, you are doing exactly what I did. I wanted a decent can at a reasonable price that got good reviews from people not paid or incentivized by the manufacturer to review them. I paid full price for this can, which I bought from desertcart, and my opinion is totally unbiased. I wish I had bought this can earlier. It's light weight, but sturdy. The only negative I found was what others experienced: you have to really press down to get the lid to lock on to the can, but it's doable with little fuss as long as you understand that. It's the only assembly required. The can came in a really large box with a lot of packing material, which was wasteful. It also came with the lid propped on the top of the can -- just not attached. It seems like it would be easy for the manufacturer to just attach the lid at the factory if it is going to be shipped with the lid on top of it instead of having a lot of reviewers complain about problems they encountered attaching the lid. Easy fix and the only negative. The can comes with a supply of bags made to fit and you can order more from the manufacturer, but the great news is that any standard 13 gallon tall kitchen garbage bag will work just fine. For some reason, I thought there was a ring or rim to secure and cover the bags, but there is not. The fit is tight enough and secure enough that you just turn the top of the bag over the rim of the can and it easily holds in place, and you really can't see the bag because most of it is covered by the lip of the lid. To open the can, press the foot pedal. The lid will stay open several seconds and then slowly close by itself. If you want the lid to stay open, pull it open by hand instead of using the foot pedal, and then close it manually when you are ready. Easy. This can will not sit flush with the wall because there is a small bumper in the back that allows for the space needed for the lid to open fully, so be aware of that when making location decisions based on size. You'll need to allow a couple of inches of clearance from the wall. I have a large puppy who is interested in everything, including the trash. My favorite thing about this can is that you can lock the lid shut. Push the silver locking mechanism toward the back of the can to lock and pull it toward you to unlock. The lock will hold even if you tip the can over. Now, I don't have to worry about my dog getting into the trash anymore. The matte finish on the can means no fingerprints (or nose prints), so you won't be constantly wiping it down. I wish I had bought this can years ago. ## Features - silent close lid: Our patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close. - lock the lid shut: A slide lock securely locks the lid to help keep pets and curious children from getting into the rubbish. - semi-round shape: Space efficient semi-round shape is great for high-traffic areas. - stay-open lid: The lid stays open for as long as you like – perfect for longer chores. - large capacity: Ideal for large families or busy households. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004P6B7KW | | Additional Features | Quiet Close | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,125 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #18 in Kitchen Waste Bins | | Brand | simplehuman | | Brand Name | simplehuman | | Capacity | 50 liters | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 29,058 Reviews | | Finish Type | Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00838810011158 | | Included Components | 1 Trash Can | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14.4"L x 18.7"W x 26.2"H | | Item Type Name | Trash Can | | Item Weight | 7.9 pounds | | Manufacturer | simplehuman | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Opening Mechanism | Step-On | | Recommended Uses For Product | Kitchen | | Room Type | Kitchen | | Shape | Semi-Circular | | UPC | 838810011158 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 5 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** simplehuman - **Capacity:** 50 liters - **Color:** Gray - **Finish Type:** Steel - **Material:** Plastic - **Opening Mechanism:** Step-On - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Kitchen - **Room Type:** Kitchen - **Shape:** Semi-Circular - **Special Feature:** Quiet Close ## Images ![simplehuman 50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can with Secure Slide Lock, Grey Plastic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dOrOLr90L.jpg) ![simplehuman 50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can with Secure Slide Lock, Grey Plastic - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jCfIvYlhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are custom fit liners?** A: Our custom fit liners are specially designed to fit our cans perfectly without bunching, slipping, or unsightly bag overhang, creating a cleaner, more polished look for your space. **Q: Which custom fit liners work with these cans?** A: The 50L Plastic Step Can uses Code P **Q: Is the odorsorb pod compatible with this model?** A: Yes, each of these cans comes with the odorsorb pod holder and a trial pod.

Keeps your dog out of the garbage! *by J***. on March 11, 2026* Finally! My dog can no longer get in my trash can! My dog is very smart. She can open cupboards, doors, etc. Which was a problem because she ate out of the garbage can constantly. No matter where we put it! It was the worst! Out of desperation, we bought this trash can, drawn to the locking lid feature. We were not disappointed! She can’t get in the can at all. It’s so sturdy and heavy duty, she can’t knock it over or get the lid open. We don’t even use the locking feature, and she still can’t get in. I literally don’t worry about her getting in the garbage at all anymore! No matter how appealing the garbage is that I put in the trash, I know she won’t get it. 100% worth it! My quality of life has improved drastically! haha But even if you don’t have a dog problem, this is a great garbage can. The foot pedal is awesome, it’s super durable, it contains smells, cleans easily, doesn’t stain, holds garbage bags well, and is the perfect size for staying out of the way up against a wall but still being a good size. Look no further for a great garbage can! ## Frequently Bought Together - simplehuman 50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can with Secure Slide Lock, Grey Plastic - Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, Lavender & Sweet Vanilla Scent, 13 Gallon, 80 Count - simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, Grey Plastic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/6907520-simplehuman-50-liter-13-gallon-semi-round-kitchen-step-trash](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/6907520-simplehuman-50-liter-13-gallon-semi-round-kitchen-step-trash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
