Is $169.99 a good price for this can?

It is the best new price among the 5 stores listing it as of November 6, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range. That makes it a reasonable time to buy if you want this model.

What liners does it use?

It takes simplehuman Code J custom-fit liners, and a 20-pack stores in the liner pocket inside the can. Generic bags work but will not fit as neatly.

About the simplehuman 45 Liter Semi-Round Sensor Trash Can

Using touch-free technology, this can opens automatically with just a wave of your hand so throwing trash away is quick, efficient and hassle-free. Smart motion sensor adapts to you and the surrounding environment — no false triggers, no unexpected lid closures. An innovative liner pocket stores and dispenses liners from inside the can for a faster liner change. Liner rim lifts up for easy access to the liner, then closes to grip and keep it neatly out of sight. ADA-compliant. Code J custom fit liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience. Liner refill packs store easily in this can's liner pocket.
