I really like this garbage/recycling can. The step pedals look like they'd be flimsy, but they're actually not. All the moving parts are connected by and made of metal, so I don't think I'll have to worry about them breaking. And the cans are a good size for what I need. It's just the two of us, so it really suits our needs. If you're a large family, the cans might be a bit on the small size. I still use reagular tall kitchen bags, but I always have left over space in the bag when the can is full. And it's easy to clean! I just bring the whole cans out when I take out the trash and hose them out. Very convenient! 

Pros: Good value, no assembly, efficient 
Cons: Might not be suitable for large families
