It’s everything I expected, and now that I have had it for a bit, some of the unexpected. The motor is super quiet and smooth. I use batteries as there is not an outlet near my can placement. Despite the narrower than anticipated receptacles, it holds a lot, so I feel like I get good value for the specialty bags the can requires. It is also really nice to have the recycling container half of the can. It saves a lot of trips to the garage, where the curbside recycling can resides. The voice activation works great in a quiet setting, but not as well in a crowded dinner-table environment with conversations going on in the background. Kind of like a toddler version of a smart speaker, it will randomly open when it hears something approximating the “open can” command. All in all, It looks nice, it works well, and I am happy with my purchase decision.
