Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

BEWARE: The product description/pictures for this trash can carefully and deliberately leave out critical information and images. Originally bought and 4 star rated the simplehuman 6 liter/1.6 gal "trash can". It's attractive, inside as well as outside, with smooth, rounded surfaces AND a removable bucket that cleverly fits inside the "can" so you don't have to use plastic garbage bags. Just remove the bucket, dump the contents in the recycling/whatever and, if there's ever a mess, rise it with hot water in the sink. My only compliant is, at 1.6 gallons, its capacity is a tad small. Liking the brand, I bought this slightly larger model without carefully reading the product description first - my bad. I didn't realize that this product lacks a removable bucket and all the internal and external mechanical elements are readily visible. This, in turn, is why they ever so carefully explain and push the need to buy unique, and expensive, custom sized garbage bags. Bag sizes that you can only buy from simplehuman at a cost of almost 15 cents/bag or about $15 per 100! Last, since the metal rods and operating mechanisms that lift the lid are fully visible from the rear, you can only attractively position this product in a limited number of ways. Before buying this particular product make very sure that you have reviewed the product descriptions, pictures, and ratings. I would not but this again, but it's not worth the hassle to return.
