I feel strange writing a review for a garbage can. The truth is it deserves a rave. It is a tall, stainless steel tower with a foot pedal that opens it when your hands are dripping non-disposal items such as peach pits. It doesn't get full of unsightly fingerprints; it holds a gracious plenty; and it looks really cool perched in the corner of my newly renovated kitchen. It is easy to remove the specially made bags, and they are easily ordered and much nicer than the grocery store variety. I highly recommend this can for sanitary, decorative look, and convenience reasons.
