simplehuman Hybrid Step Can 45L Rectangular Kitchen Trash Can — Black plastic with stainless liner rim & Lid Shox

This hybrid step can pairs the clean look of stainless where the bag is secured with the durability of a black plastic body where daily wear happens. It uses a rim system that grips the liner directly—no inner bucket—freeing up more capacity and simplifying bag changes. Built for frequent use, the pedal and soft-close lid are engineered to endure heavy kitchen traffic while keeping noise and bag overhang to a minimum.

How does the liner rim system make bag changes easier?

The stainless-steel liner rim flips up to hold a liner in place, then flips down to hide and secure it. This removes the need for an inner bucket and prevents bag overhang, so liners look neat and stay put between changes.

• Stainless rim grips liners directly for a clean, concealed fit.
• Flips open for quick liner placement and closes to hide the bag.
• Freed internal volume—about 25% more usable space than bucket models.
• No clumsy inner bucket to remove when emptying the can.

What makes the pedal and lid built to last in a busy kitchen?

The simplehuman steel pedal is engineered for at least 150,000 steps, designed to stand up to years of daily use. Lid Shox® motion control cushions the lid so it closes slowly and silently, eliminating slams even during hectic kitchen moments.

• 150,000-step tested steel pedal for long-lasting mechanical reliability.
• Patented Lid Shox® ensures a smooth, quiet close every time.
• Wide, stable base and weighted bottom resist tipping under pedal force.
• Durable materials suited for high-traffic household environments.

How does the built-in liner pocket improve convenience?

The integrated liner pocket stores a roll or pack of Code K liners inside the can, so you always have the right-sized bag on hand. Dispensing liners from the pocket is quick and prevents running out mid-change.

• Holds up to a 20-pack of custom-fit Code K liners inside the can.
• Dispenses liners one at a time for fast, mess-free replacements.
• Eliminates searching cabinets for replacement bags during trash changes.

Is the body material practical for everyday kitchen use?

The can’s black plastic shell is both dent-resistant and fingerprint-resistant, offering a low-maintenance finish that stands up to knocks and smudges. The hybrid approach places stainless steel where it enhances function while keeping the exterior resilient against daily bumps.

• Dent-proof plastic body resists impacts and maintains shape.
• Fingerprint-resistant surface reduces visible smudges and cleaning.
• Black finish blends with many kitchen palettes while hiding wear.
• Backed by a five-year warranty for added confidence.
