Sleek & Functional
I owned the Grocery Bag Can originally for a couple years and thought it was the best designed can until the Profile can came along. The Profile Open Can improves on it by hiding the messy overhang at the top, which is most visible at all times. However, there are 2 problems with this. First, the plastic inside can is necessary for the invisible bag lip function, but while it would appear that it is simple to slip grocery bags in, functionally it isn't as easy to hide all of the edges with one go. Also, when the top metal lid is slipped on, it poofs some bag edges out as well. The second problem of this can is that it doesn't have any handles for either the lid or the can, making it slightly awkward when changing bags. In this respect, the Grocery Bag Can is much more functional while the Profile can looks sleeker. You gain some, you lose some.
