great investment
I purchased this trash can after a plastic one that I had broke. I use it in the kitchen and like the ability to keep the lid open all the time without using a foot pedal. It is very well made and is easy to clean. The size is great for us, we are a family of 5 and we only take out the trash 2 times a week. I have had quite a few comments from friends and family noting they liked my trash can and wanted one like it. I was sure to warn them against cheap imitations, you really get what you pay for when it comes to trash cans. I needed a trash can that could keep a small child as well as a dog out. One comment against it is getting plastic liner back in the proper way can be tricky until you get the hang of it.
