This is a great trash can. I use it for my bathroom. It adds a nice shine to my all white bathroom. I havent had any problems with the foot peddle since I got this about a year ago. I especially like that there is an inner plastic bin so you can install a trash bag onto. It makes cleaning the bin much easier too since you will largely only have to wipe down the metal exterior when needed. Bag installation is easy with the removal inner bin.
