I am slightly embarrassed to love a garbage can so much. But this solved my problem of where to be able to put my garbage and recycling in my new beautiful kitchen. It is not an eyesore and holds enough to not have to take out the garbage every single day. 
I am using regular kitchen garbage bags with the drawstring top. They fit in fine without any exposure.  
I can't say it is worth the money because I am still blown away by how much These things cost, but it seems just as good as the simple human brand which costs even more.
