Out of the box yesterday, ready to use.  I can't believe how beautiful it is ... The directions say to let the can get to half full before you compact, so I haven't really "used" it yet, but the step-on lid opener works great, and closes without a sound.  The inner can lets you tuck your trash bag round it so it doesn't show at all when lid is closed.  Next ... accumulate enough trash to actually use it!  How can trash be so exciting!  Whoever invented this is a genius.
