I'm really happy with this purchase. I'm so glad I didn't get one with the 'step on' lever at the bottom or the motion detector lid.  I've had those before and they are really a hassle when trying to toss a handful of anything in the container. This garbage can is nice and tall and the opening kind of curves up so that what is inside is NOT showing. The only thing is it is difficult to get the full trash bag out.  This thing holds a lot and by the time it is full it is quite heavy and sometimes I have to get a little help from my husband or I'll sit down and wiggle the bag out. All in all……it is wonderful! It looks like it costs much more than it does!
