Know before you buy
You can open the lid by saying 'open can' or by simply waving your hand over the sensor area. The lid will stay open as long as you are near the sensor and will close automatically once you move away.
The 58-liter capacity is split into two compartments, allowing you to separate trash and recyclables in one footprint. While the exact split is designed for standard kitchen waste, the removable buckets make it easy to manage both streams independently.
While you can use standard bags, this model is designed for Simplehuman custom-fit liners. These bags are tailored to fit the buckets perfectly without bunching, and the integrated liner pocket allows you to store and dispense them directly from the can.
The included odor-absorbing pod is designed to neutralize smells before they escape the bin. It is a replaceable filter that helps keep your kitchen area fresh, especially when dealing with food waste.
Yes, the exterior features a fingerprint-proof coating that resists smudges and smears. A quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth is usually all that is needed to keep the surface looking polished.
The motor is engineered for whisper-quiet operation. It opens and closes smoothly without the loud mechanical clicking sounds often found in cheaper automatic trash cans.
