Beautiful design, easy and reliable function. We are a military family and we bought our first simple human trash can 13 years ago. It weathered 5 moves including two international moves beautifully. The only reason we bought a new kitchen trash can was because a piece of the plastic lid finally broke off which let out occasional smells and let in occasional bugs (no thanks!) My sister-in-law thought I was crazy to spend so much on a trash can 13 years ago but as long as this new can performs as well as the last, I'll be brand loyal when it comes to kitchen trash cans! Thanks for making a durable and good looking product.
