Review: Expensive but worth every penny! - I was looking for a new kitchen bin and already knew of the reputation of Simplehuman. After a little research I quickly decided to invest in the 30L butterfly pedal bin. Arriving quickly I was surprised at how compact the unit is (smaller than I expected in comparison to the photo's however for me this is not a negative) I was so pleased to see that the stainless steel finish truly is finger print proof! I really do not like stainless steel products as it marks and scratches so easily and is a nightmare to keep clean. Thankfully this is not something I need to worry about with this bin! The bin itself is very smart and discreet and you really can see the quality in every aspect. The unit is lightweight yet robust and easy to handle. The bin is functional as the butterfly lids allow full access to the can (unlike my previous Typhoon Capsule pedal bin which had a tiny opening making it difficult to scrape plates etc) I like the way in which smaller details have been thought of such as the soft close function and how you can prop the lids open for longer use and bag changes. There is even a built in rest enabling you to tilt the plastic bucket at an angle allowing for easier bag changes. I have also purchased the Simplehum can liners and will continue to do so. They fit perfectly and ensure no liner is seen when the lids are closed. Not only that but they are strong and well constructed with reinforced seams and useful tie handles. I am the kind of person who will invest in a quality item and if you are looking for a new kitchen bin that will not only function perfectly and look great in your kitchen then look no further; you've just found it!
Review: Should be superhuman not simplehuman because their bins have super build quality and design - Delivered on time and in perfect condition as usual by desertcart. I cannot recommend this bin enough. This is my third from Simplehuman. They have all been outstanding but I needed to switch from my old two compartment recycler to a single compartment bin and this seemed to fit the bill. Now its arrived It looks better in person than in the photos. The perfect size for an average sized UK kitchen. It has lots of interesting design elements such as the curved lid with its discrete embossed logo that make it look chic The lid opening action is smooth with soft close. It feels sturdy and has wonderful functionality such as the simple lid hold open mechanism and internal step to raise the inner compartment speeding up liner changes. It is ready to go from the box with no set up required and comes with 10 bin liners (size H) to keep you going. I've always found the superhuman liners designed for the bins fit the best with no sagging so I am glad they sent these. Highly recommend, I don't think there is a better bin on the market for my needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple Human Butterfly bathroom bin
*by H***N on 14 February 2026*

My bin was delivered this morning, it is absolutely beautiful & perfect too. Very well made & a bag of bin liners included which I wasn't expecting so nice surprise. Looks very smart in our bathroom. Quite a lot of money for a bin but definitely worth it and it has a 10 year warranty. I am very pleased with my purchase. I can certainly recommend Simple Human.
