simplehuman 30 Liter / 8 Gallon Under Counter Kitchen Cabinet Pull-Out Trash Can, Heavy-Duty Steel Frame

I seldom write reviews but this product warrants the effort. After we did some minor kitchen renovations I found that I now had the room in my tiny kitchen to tuck the trash can into a cabinet and began to research what was out there for in-cabinet trash cans - both locally and online. Ultimately, after reading the reviews here and comparing that information to similar products that I saw in local stores, I decided to go with this SimpleHuman model. Since I already owned a SimpleHuman freestanding trash can (the half circle shaped floor model) I can already attest to how well made Simple Human products are; and I also already had confidence in ordering from Amazon after years of doing so. Additionally, all my current can has ever needed is a quick wipe with a damp sponge. My grandchildren love the pedal in front of it so it has taken a beating and the lift mechanism just keeps on going. I had concerns about other reviewers experiences with the slide out not coming far enough out to clear the drawer above it so I carefully measured. This was of particular concern to me as we have newly painted cabinets with replacement drawer fronts that I didn't want to nick, also, I elected to have brushed nickel bar shaped drawer pulls that extend out a full 1-1/2 inches more which added to the nail biting decision :). My cabinet is a standard one with an opening of approx 14 inches wide and 21 inches in height and 23" inches deep so I knew it would fit properly. I crossed my fingers, placed the order, and waited for UPS. When I pulled it from the box, I was happy to note the sturdy frame and knew I had made the right choice. The installation was pretty painless, too. The directions are written plainly and clearly which is a joy - just grab your tape measure, drill to make pilot holes, and screwdriver, and decide where you want the unit placed in your cabinet. I elected to have it sit a little to the right (not centered) which gave me room for a small organizer on the left wall and still plenty of room to freely operate the slideout. I keep fresh trash bags under the under bag in the can so they are readily available. The directions tell you that due to the unit's curved handle, you need to place it a minimum of 2 inches behind the front lip of the cabinet which I did - although, you can install it much further back if that works for you. My unit clears the drawer and bar pull very neatly. No need to pull the entire can out to pull the trash bag out. The supply of 13 gallon trash bags that we bought at Costco fit the can perfectly (bag does NOT slip down at all) (of course, it's SimpleHuman) so we haven't wasted what we already purchased. I've never been happier and I'm somewhat amused that a trash can has been such a major difference in our lives. Now if we can only stop walking past the cabinet where the new can is, to the spot where the old can used to be with a handful of trash we'd be in great shape, lol. This was money very well spent and our old freestanding can (after a good scrubbing) is now gracing our daughter's home. The little ones are thrilled ...

While I originally thought that paying $80 or so for an under-counter trash bin was extravagant (my last one cost me $50), after installing it and using it for a few weeks I now think it was money well spent. This trash bin is the smoothest-operating bin I have ever had, it fits better in the space under my sink than my last one (similar trash capacity), which had to be installed at an angle to clear a water line & valve (this one sits nice and square), and generally has a more substantial "feel" to it (subjective, I know). Even when full, it still takes little effort to pull it out or push it back. Just a 1-finger tug or push. Capacity was important to me, and this one is perfectly adequate (at least the same as my previous bin) and, although it came with a starter pack of simplehuman's type K bags (which are very good trash bags, I discovered), it readily takes the standard white 13 gallon kitchen trash bags that I buy in bulk from the shopping club. Installation was relatively easy; unlike my previous bin, this one has the slides at the bottom held together by welded cross-braces, so they are always parallel and the only measurements needed are for front and side clearances (shown in the simple instructions provided, but also just common sense). This bottom frame is screwed to the cabinet floor by 8 Phillips-head wood screws (2 at each corner), which might be overkill when 4 screws may have been sufficient, but the 8 screws make for very sturdy installation. In my case, it was necessary to pre-drill the holes for the screws in the cabinet wood floor, otherwise they're just too tight trying to screw them into the wood (the screws provided are a substantial size), so having a power drill available may be handy. Drill bit size is not very critical, as long as it is a smaller diameter than the screw threads. To sum up, it looks nice, fits well, and is well-built, so I'm very happy with my purchase.

We took a chance and purchased this open box instead of new, which saved us money. Aside from the box itself being a little beaten up, the trash can and base/pull-out mechanism appeared to be new. Installation was easy, and we are very pleased with the quality, build and functionality of this unit. Of note, we had a previous version of this unit that lasted several years so we have trust in this brand. With the new unit, I like that there are eight screws to secure the base to the bottom of the cabinet. The older version only had four screws, which is probably why the base of the unit eventually pulled away from the bottom of the cabinet, causing it to bend and break apart.

I am very happy with the simplehuman Under-Counter Pulll-Out Trash Can (30 liter). I had bought two of these a number of years ago when I lived in a different house, and had only one pull-out trash can from the cabinet manufacturer. I bought one simplehuman pull-out trash can to supplement our existing built-in pull-out trash can; we re-purposed the existing pull-out for recycling, and used the new simplehuman pull-out for trash. The simplehuman pull-out proved far superior to the cabinet maker's product in every way. I bought another to install in our laundry room for trash as well. They have lasted through many years of two kids and two adults using them regularly, especially the one used for trash in the kitchen. Now we have moved on to another house, which again had a built-in unit used for trash, and no recycling. I bought and installed a new simplehuman pull-out trash can which we are using for recycling. It appears to be every bit as solid as the previous two were, and I expect many many years of service from this product. Installation is simple. Test fitting the installation was necessary in my new installation due to a tight space with an Insinkerator on one side, and a protruding cabinet hinge on the other. I skewed the unit ever so slightly to accommodate both. I took the advice of another reviewer, and set the front-to-back position by closing the cabinet door on the entire unit before I fastened it to the bottom of the cabinet in order to get the front as close to the cabinet door as possible. I then placed it back about 1/16" of an inch from that position. However, the design of the rails on the unit I received makes that precaution unnecessary if your concern is whether the trash can can be easily removed from the holder after installation; the rails have an extra extension position that places the trash can well out of the vertical plane of the cabinetry so that it can be easily removed. My original simplehuman pull-outs (purchased many years ago) did not have this extra extension capability, and it was necessary for me to tilt the cans slightly as I pulled them out so that they would clear the cabinetry. My new unit came with a pack of 10 bags from simplehuman; I don't know if I buy replacements once these are used; we have found that the Glad Force-flex 13 gallon tall kitchen trash bags fit nicely in these simplehuman trash cans and are easy to buy in large quantities from our local warehouse store. It IS pricey, but since it performs so well and lasts so long it seems worth the cost to me.

I’m honestly so impressed with this stash can. Installation was incredibly easy—took just minutes and didn’t require any hassle at all. It fits perfectly and looks clean and discreet, which is exactly what I needed. Living in a smaller apartment, space and subtlety are everything, and this checks both boxes. It’s also perfect for people with dogs who have figured out how to open regular trash cans—since this one hides neatly under the sink, it keeps everything out of reach. I really wish I had found this years ago—it would’ve saved me so much time and frustration. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple, smart storage solution that blends right in!

After fighting my old trashcan for years I broke down and purchased this. I have had this since September 2025 and have enjoyed using it every day since. (I *mostly* installed it myself and my brother-in-law put in the last three screws because my replacement knees and hips do not bend like my original ones.) The ball bearing tracks guarantee a smooth glide in and out of the cabinet. Overall this is very well made and well worth the price. On a side note, I use regular Glad trash bags because they fit just fine in this trash can. If you are in the market for a new one cabinet trash can tis is highly recommended. don't

I guess I ordered the same one that I had already installed. The one I had is 10 years old and I could feel the bearings were definitely bad and was hard to push in. I got this one to replace it and it was easy to install and works perfectly, very smooth, and its very sturdy for what I needed. I guess I didnt really need the trash can, so it would be nice if they had an option without the trash can. Overall though, I would recommend this one for its ease of installation, good quality.

We installed two of these side by side under the kitchen island, 1 for trash and 1 for recycle. They fit perfectly and work very smoothly. Super easy to install, just mark your drill holes and use the included screws to anchor the base. The units are actually pre-assembled, so you only need to anchor the base. Each base comes with 8 screws but we just used 4 screws for each unit as they anchored snugly w/4. We eliminated two free standing cans w/this system and freed up a lot of floor space around our kitchen island. Highly recommend.
