A while ago, I confessed that I spent a small fortune on a trash can — and had no regrets about it. Commenters were split on whether this was a smart investment or an extravagance, and no wonder: A quick Amazon search reveals you can just as easily spend under $20 or over $200 on a trash can, with plenty of options in between. So why would you shell out the big bucks? Good question!

I probably spend more time than the average person thinking about trash cans. To be fair, it’s part of my job! But I do not spend as much time thinking about trash cans as Dave Wolbert, head of business development and R&D for SimpleHuman, the company behind my own pricey trash can habit. It’s almost all of his job! So I got him on the phone to discuss. (Note: I reached out to several other brands of similarly priced trash cans, but they didn’t respond by press time.)

Here’s why these premium trash cans are so darn expensive.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
