This was a long awaited purchase. We owned another simplehuman trash can for many years, and loved it, but it eventually wore down and began to creak, so we needed a replacement. We wanted to upgrade to the sensor and since we recycle too, this trash can was perfect for us. Guests are always amazed that the can is voice activated, and the dimensions work perfectly for our space. Highly recommend. Only wish the can came with a set of recycle bags and a place for them to hang on the recycling compartment.
