simplehuman 45L Rectangular Step Can — Brushed Stainless with Grey Lid, Lid Shox® Silent Close & Liner Pocket

The simplehuman 45L rectangular step can is a durable, space-saving kitchen trash can with a liner rim system, built-in liner pocket, Lid Shox® silent close, and a heavy-duty pedal engineered for long life.

This stainless steel step can is designed to maximize usable interior space and make everyday trash tasks quicker and cleaner. Rather than an inner bucket, the liner rim holds the bag out of sight, while the integrated liner pocket dispenses replacement bags stored inside the can. Patented Lid Shox® technology prevents noisy slams, and a reinforced steel pedal is rated for 150,000 steps for years of reliable use. The finish resists fingerprints and comes with an odorsorb® pod for odor control and a 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.

How does the liner rim system change trash bag handling?

The liner rim eliminates the traditional inner bucket by clamping the bag to the top rim, which increases usable capacity and keeps liners hidden for a neater look. Removing and replacing bags is faster because the rim secures the bag without folds or overhangs, and Code M custom-fit liners are designed specifically for this shape.

• Creates about 25% more interior space than bucket-style cans
• Bag stays concealed and clipped in place for a tidy appearance
• Simplifies liner changes—no bucket to lift or clean
• Works best with Code M custom-fit liners for a snug fit

Will the lid be noisy in a busy kitchen?

The can uses simplehuman’s Lid Shox® motion control to guide the lid to a slow, quiet close every time, preventing loud slams when you drop a bag or move around the kitchen. The lid also locks open for longer chores, so it stays out of the way during meal prep or when emptying recycling.

• Patented motion-control mechanism for silent closing
• Holds open hands-free for extended tasks
• Reduces startle noise for households with children or pets
• Engineered to remain smooth over long-term use

How durable is the pedal and overall construction?

The pedal is a reinforced steel design rated for 150,000 steps, which translates to decades of regular use even in busy kitchens. The body is stainless steel with a fingerprint-resistant finish and a plastic lid that resists wear; simplehuman also backs the can with a 10-year warranty for mechanical components.

• 150,000-step steel pedal—tested for long-term reliability
• Brushed stainless exterior with silver-ion coating to resist marks
• Sturdy plastic lid engineered to work with Lid Shox®
• 10-year warranty covers manufacturing defects

What convenience features help with liners and odors?

An internal liner pocket stores a 20-pack of Code M liners and dispenses them one at a time, so replacement bags are always on hand. The can ships with an odorsorb® pod for up to 45 days of odor reduction; pairing with Code M custom-fit liners prevents slipping or messy overhang.

• Built-in liner pocket holds and dispenses 20 Code M liners
• Complimentary odorsorb® pod helps control odors for 45 days
• Code M liners are extra-thick and double-seamed for strength
• No bag overhang or bunching with the liner rim system

Who this is for: This simplehuman 45L rectangular step can is ideal for households seeking a tidy, high-capacity kitchen can with quiet operation and minimal maintenance. It fits kitchens where counter-to-floor space efficiency matters, families who value durability and noise reduction, and anyone who prefers built-in liner storage to avoid chasing boxes of trash bags. For best results, use with simplehuman Code M liners and the included odorsorb® pod.
