After going through multiple plastic trash cans and the tops breaking off, I decided to invest in a better one. While I still have a hard time justifying such an expensive trash can, it really is nicely made. I like how it is slender and does not stick out like more square trash cans. The inner plastic bin is great for easy bag removal and you don’t see a plastic bag hanging on the outside edges! While it is suggested you buy their special bags, regular tall kitchen bags fit with no problem. Overall, I am happy with the design and function after a month of use.
