This is a nice trashcan.   It fits the space in my kitchen perfectly.  In the past, I purchased cans that open electronically.  They were a pain.  Everytime you walked by them, they opened until the batteries ran out.  And, the battery holder top would get lost.  I like this step on can much better.  The 8 gallon per side capacity is small, but typical of a dual can.  I am really pleased with this purchase.
