Today we're looking at the Simplehuman Sensor Touchless Trash Can — proof that people will, in fact, review a garbage can. But is it worth it? Let's be honest.
It's a stainless motion-sensor bin that opens hands-free, with a sturdy build, a liner pocket that holds custom-fit bags, and Simplehuman's reputation for lids that don't rattle or break.
The genuine strength is the sensor and the build. An editor praises the adaptive sensor that avoids opening unnecessarily, and owners consistently note it simply lasts — the lid mechanism outlives the cheap cans people replace yearly.
The honest caveat is the price and the proprietary bags. At one-seventy it's a serious splurge for a trash can, and it nudges you toward Simplehuman's own liners, which cost more than generic.
This is for kitchens where the trash can is high-traffic and you're tired of replacing flimsy ones. Clean and family-safe.
My verdict? Worth it — eighty-five out of a hundred. Absurd on paper, genuinely nice to live with. That's Penny's take. See you at the next one.
