Things to consider before Choosing a Trash Can
1. Customer's review and rating - this review should come from a Verified Purchase
2. Durability - you dont like to keep buying a new trash can every 5 to 10 years
3. Price - while cheap and simple are valuable words, you should consider the idea that expensive trash cans must be a lot better because there is more technology innovations on it
4. Type of trash can - while you may think that touchless trashcan, open can and step trash can have less difference between them, its likely not, once you purchase all 3 types you will learn each of the problems that comes with it.
5. Design, functionality and maintenance cost - this 3 aspects might get you confused by just looking at the pictures of a trash can.
6. Garbage waste capacity - 13 to 21 gallons of space is enough for a busy house
7. Covered Lid - the lid should open and close silently, the trash can should have a garbage bag with it, and a lid that will cover it from the public or kids and insects. Lid cover will make your house clean, safe and odorless.
Why pick a Stainless Steel Step Trash Can ?
Step Pedal Trash Can versus Touchless Trash can
A step trash can is almost the same as a touchless sensor-driven lid trash cans but without the problem of batteries and the common problem of lid opening and closing by itself. Step trashcan still provides the functionality of touchless germ-free trash can since you just need to step on it and the lid will enclose the garbage and smells inside the step trash can.
Step Pedal Trash Can versus Open Can
An open can don't enclose the garbage, it open so the bad odor can get around, its not good for kitchen garbage, if the dog or your kid accidentally hit it, the garbage will scatter around and so the germs with it.

simplehuman Butterfly Step Trash Can, Fingerprint-Proof Brushed Stainless Steel, 45 Liters /12.5 Gallons
Customers' Review on the 12.5 gallon stainless steel Step Trashcan
simplehuman Butterfly Step Trash Can fits a standard 13 gallon trash bag better than all others.
You let leave butterfly lid cover open
It is easy to pull the bag out of the can because there is an air hole at the bottom
Since the two doors will split open, it will require small space, and it wont hit your wall.
The metal step pedal is really strong and is a lot better than plastic pedals that have tendency of breaking or cracking.
The simple human butterfly step trash can is heavy, so its stay still, safe from dogs and kids, no need to worry when it hit.
Stainless steel looks great with the rest of the appliances around it, since its slim rectangular body, you can insert it in narrow spaces.
