Firstly, this is a great trash can. It looks nice, is built well, and it is a great way to get rid of those nasty grocery bags. The arms that you wrap the bag handles around really hold the bags in place. I have never been able to stuff so much trash into old grocery bags as you can with this device.
Now that being said, the unit is a bit large. You need quite a bit of space under your cabinet for this thing to work. We actually have to open the second door slightly in order to reclose the cabinet door but it is something that we are willing to live with in order to hide our trash can under the counter and recycle those bags.
I don't know why, but I thought that this thing was an over the door type install like a different (cheaper) model sold on Amazon. There was nothing in the pictures or literature to make me think this, but for some reason I did. This was a slight problem for me and it could be for other users. In order for the bin to work properly, it must be installed about2.5 inches from the edge of the door. Since the screw holes are about 2.5 inches further in, that meant that I needed to put screw holes about 5 inches from the inside of my cabinet and about 8 inches from the top of my cabinet door for the top set of holes. There is a lower set of holes about 6 inches below that. For me, and others who have cheaper cabinet doors, that meant the holes were to go through a flimsy piece of 1/16" plywood. Needless to say, the screw would have stuck out of the front of the cabinet by all most 3/4". We went to the hardware store and bought a cheap piece of pine molding, about .5"X 36", cut it in half and screwed these to the cabinet frame where the screws would land (the frame around the cabinet is closer to 3/4" thick). And it works great. The extra trouble was definitely worth the convenience. I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone who has the room under their sink to put it in.
I'm also going to plead with Simple Human to make an over the cabinet door install for those of us who may get in trouble with a land lord for drilling into cabinet doors.
