Simplehuman Butterfly Step Can

The butterfly lid splits in the center and opens outward, which requires less vertical clearance than a traditional hinged lid. This makes it an ideal choice if you plan to tuck the trash can under a low countertop or inside a tight cabinet space.

Yes, the stainless steel is treated with a silver-ion coating that is specifically designed to resist smudges and fingerprints. While it isn't completely immune to heavy handling, it significantly reduces the need for constant wiping compared to standard stainless steel.

While you can technically use standard grocery bags, the can is engineered for Simplehuman's custom-fit liners. These liners are designed to fit the exact dimensions of the bin, ensuring they stay hidden under the lid and don't bunch up or slip into the trash.

Yes, the unit uses patented 'lid shox' technology. This dampens the motion of the lid, ensuring it closes in a slow, controlled, and quiet manner rather than slamming shut.

The pedal is constructed from robust steel and has been rigorously tested to withstand over 150,000 steps. It is built to handle the daily wear and tear of a high-traffic kitchen environment for years.
