I love this trash can! I never new what life could be like with a touchless trash can, and now that I do I'm never going back! Though there are occasions where the open/close buttons are helpful too. The size is great too, you can make it fit wherever you need, and it's sleek looking and will fade into the background of any kitchen. I had seen trash cans in stores that looked similar and much cheaper, but upon closer impression they were missing many of the great things like can, which uses batteries as an alternative to being plugged in, thank god, because who wants to find an outlet for a trash can. And it looks really nice, not a cheap stainless steel like a lot in stores, etc. It's great, get it!
