58L Rectangular Pedal

Why I Bought It My kitchen was getting cluttered with separate bins for trash and recycling, and I wanted something efficient that would let me sort waste without having multiple separate containers taking up space. The simplehuman CW2025 promised a dual-compartment solution, a strong pedal, and a clean stainless finish, exactly what I was looking for. Setup / First Impressions It arrived fully assembled, which was great — no instructions or time lost putting pieces together. The stainless steel has a brushed finish with a fingerprint-proof coating, which keeps it looking tidy even after lots of use. The dual compartments are well-matched: 34 L for general trash, 24 L for recycling, so I don’t have to empty the recycling side super often. The liner pocket inside is clever, I can stash a roll of liners right in the bin so changing bags is quick and less messy. Pedal feels sturdy, lid closes quietly, and overall it looks premium in my kitchen. Performance / Quality In everyday use this bin works very well. The pedal is wide and feels durable; even with daily stomping (kids, cooking, etc.) it seems solid and doesn’t squeak or wobble. Lid “soft-close” is a big plus — no loud bangs or slams. The liner rim holds bags neatly without overhanging or slipping in, which keeps things looking clean. On the downside: because it’s large and dual compartment, it takes up quite some floor space (Width ~22", Depth ~14.2", Height ~25.8") so it’s best suited to a decent sized kitchen, not a tiny one. Also, the stainless steel finish is good at resisting fingerprints, but you can still see smudges if you touch it directly or with wet hands. Pros ✔️ Dual compartments mean trash + recycling in one tidy unit ✔️ Solid build (steel pedal, durable materials) and a 10-year warranty gives confidence in longevity ✔️ Fingerprint-proof brushed stainless steel keeps the exterior looking clean most of the time ✔️ Liner pocket is very handy — no more rummaging for bags ✔️ Quiet lid close (“lidshox” or “lid shox” tech) is a relief compared to bins that slam Cons ❌ Large footprint — takes up quite a bit of space, so not ideal for very small kitchens or tight corners ❌ Still needs occasional cleaning of the stainless steel; the “fingerprint-proof” coating helps but doesn’t make it totally immune ❌ The recycling compartment is smaller (24 L) so if you generate a lot of recyclables, you’ll empty that side more often Final Verdict If you have the space, this is an excellent bin for combining functionality, appearance, and durability. It handles daily trash and recycling well, feels premium, and keeps things tidy. For someone who wants a high quality kitchen bin and doesn’t mind the size, it’s a great investment. If space is tight, you’ll want to measure carefully before committing.

This bin is elegant and so practical. It is sturdy and has a very nice opening action. Fingerprints are non existent and where there have been some spills or drips, it cleans up perfectly. We have to use sacks for our recycled items and have more of this than the household waste bin, so we have the plastic bin for household, using the bags by Simplehuman and place a cherry sack in the other compartment for recycled waste. Having read reviews of this product, I note that other people say the bags, while being a bit more expensive than supermarket liners, are well worth the money and to be able to place the replenishment in the bin itself, reduces the need to store in a drawer. I have purchased more of these liners and am so glad I did.

Absolutely in love with my new bin (how tragic). So chic, and - most importantly - my dog can't operate the foot pedal and therefore no longer gets in! It really is beautifully made and I like the deodoriser, though no idea if it is effective. Was worried it would be too small, as we previously had 2 x 50L bins, but actually it's much better as it's easier to empty regularly withough lugging a 10 tonne bin bag outside.

Love it... this dual bin - recycling and rubbish, seems very strong - and heavy! I struggled getting it out of the box and lifting it. I was replacing a smaller Simple Human dual bin which was still great, but I wanted the one you can hook a food recycling bin on to it's side. The lid is very quiet - in fact I cannot hear it falling at all. It seems like it will last a long time as it is sturdy.

This may sound daft, but it is a lovely looking bin! Actually though, it sits in view all of the time so you want it to look good. It came quickly and as it’s quite pricey I had to provide a one time code. It comes with 10 bags and a sample pod that disguises any smells. The pedal mechanism for opening the bin is intelligent and seems pretty robust so far - there’s electronic to wrong. It comes with a 10 year warranty so if anything does go wrong with the mechanism, support is there. The top of the bin hides the bag and top of the recycling caddy and this and the lid are both soft close. It does sit an inch or so away from the wall as the bags are stored on the back and can be pulled through the general waste side so the bin doesn’t need to be moved every time you replace a bag. I’m going to order the food caddy that can be added to the side as it looks good but at the time of writing this review it is out of stock. It has a coating that has so far been resistant to fingerprints as advertised. All in all, so far I like it, it is thoughtfully designed and I would definitely recommend it. I know it’s expensive but you get what you pay for.

The bin isn't cheap but feels very sturdy and well made. I've bought numerous cheaper pedal bins and have always found they end up breaking easily due to poor design and always end up stinking/rusting from inside. We've had our bin 6 months and it still looks as good as when we first bought it. The hidden bin liner holder insider makes it perfect and easy to switch bins out, rather than faffing looking for the bags under the sink. Nice and clean design and despite the costly price tag it's well worth it

It’s a bin .... which took me 8 months to talk myself into buying ...even after I’d ordered it I worried that I had wasted my money. Thankfully when it arrived and I started using it I felt better about the choice. Yes it’s a LOT of money to spend on a bin. But it does what I wanted -handles significant amount of recycling and also takes a decent amount of ordinary rubbish. So it frees up my kitchen side from constant cluttering of plastics/glass/cans and atips the husband from moaning about the daily recycling runs with his arms full in and out of the house. I happily take the recycling bin out now - easy peasy and love that I only need to do this twice a week not every 3 hours :) the anti fingerprint cover on the stainless steel bin is amazing it really is. I have a few simple human products and love every one of them! So this has nothing disappointed me. Just hoping it lasts as long as the price tag justifies -but optimistic that it will. Love the bin and wish I had bought it sooner - hope it helps x

We've only had this for a short time, but already it seems well worth the money. It's big, but no bigger than having two separate bins for recycling and landfill. And it looks a lot better than having two bins. It's also easy to clean - the fingerprint free coating is good, but it's not as fingerprint free as it's described - you can still get prints on it, they are just less noticeable and easy to remove. The recycling part can be removed and has a handle which makes emptying much simpler, it's also easy to clean and so far it's made taking out the recycling a lot less messy. We're happy with it, so i'd be likely to buy another one if we needed it.

Bellissimo design, prodotto di estrema qualità e funzionalità

The thought of buying a $200 trash can kind of turned my stomach a bit but I was also tired of nice looking trash cans that wore out quickly or ugly dirty plastic ones that had no sense of style. Instead of having a nice dinner with the wife out on the town or buying some rare records I'd had my eye on, I used a bit of extra income to buy a really nice trash can. And I am thrilled with it! This review is actually for the SECOND can of this size I bought. Last year around this time I procured the can for our kitchen and just recently bought this one for my mother. It is great because it has a nice soft close lid that doesn't spring open when you don't want it to. It is brushed metal so it looks good in just about any kitchen. We live in a mid-century modern ranch with high ceilings and an open concept while my mother lives in an early 90's suburban home that has never been updated, and in neither location does this guy look out of place. It is quietly unassuming. Another feature I love is the built in bag holder for the trash. While it specifically houses Simplehuman-branded bags, I am a fan of these custom bags even though they cost a bit more. They fit the cans well and are exceptionally sturdy, so again, I feel I am getting value in quality even though I am paying a bit more. We are a house of two and only fill two bags a week, tops, and my mother is a widow who will probably only fill a bag every 10 days. The recycling tote is excellent. While we live in a city with mandated recycling and a dedicated recycling trash can we keep in our garage, we just fill it up and dump the recycling right into the rollout bin in the garage and do not use the blue bags, but the tote had a handle on it like a bucket so it is an easy process of removing and putting it back. I actually wish the recycling bin was larger as we fill that up every other day, so it is constantly full. My mother on the other hand, lives in a city where recycling is optional, so I got her the SImplehuman blue bags that fit this can and she likes it because it does not get too full or heavy for her to take out on trash night on her own, but likes that she is able to recycle with out it being a messy pain. Clearly this is a versatile trash can even in these two environments. I never thought I'd be telling friends and family to plop down $200 on a trash can, but over the past year, I continually have. It is a really well made and thought out product and worth the money! (Note: Picture is of my year old trashcan in my kitchen)

Très belle poubelle, vraiment solide et pratique. J'avais dans un premier temps acheté la klarstein XL, mais elle est arrivée cabossée. Je l'ai donc renvoyé mais j'ai pu comparer la qualité des deux poubelles et la Emsa et clairement un cran au dessus. Même les sacs poubelles de la marque sont d'excellentes qualités. Seul bémol le prix, 200€ ça commence à faire cher pour une poubelle !!! Heureusement pour ce prix elle est garantie 10 ans.

We love this garbage and recycling container. It is well made and has some weight to it. The lid is great how it opens and how it gently comes back down. The foot pedal is very sturdy. Great way it opens to remove the buckets or re-bag the garbage bin. Very clean looking when placed in the kitchen no recycles falling all over the place. It is a little pricey but well worth it. We love it!

写真で見ると燃えるゴミの容量がフレキシブルに拡大できるように見えて購入したところ、しっかり燃えるゴミと燃えないゴミ（缶、ガラスボトル等）の部分が別れておりました。最初は戸惑いましたが、家内も市指定ゴミ袋を４０Lと３０Lに使い分けをして試しに使用していますが問題なく現状使用出来ております。見た目のスッキリ感とペダルでの蓋の開け閉めが非常に静かで心地よく今まで手で燃えるゴミ、燃えないゴミの蓋の開け閉めをしていたのでストレスフリーとなりました。購入して良かったです。
