I love this trash can! That seems like a strange thing to say about something that holds your garbage, but let me tell you--it's legit! It's the perfect kitchen trash can size that fits normal 13-gallon bags. It's sturdy steel! The lid isn't heavy and is easy to get on and off, and there's a removable plastic ring inside to hold the bag in place better. Best of all? It opens with the WAVE of your HAND. I've placed it next to an outlet so it's got easy power access and I'm just amazed at how well it works. The sensor isn't too sensitive, but it's responsive when your hand is near. I love not having to touch the dirty can or step on a pedal to open it! This can is replacing a plastic step-pedal can that slid backwards every time I used it to the point that it rubbed a mark on the wall behind it. NO MORE. The lid on this can opens smoothly and at a measured pace, and the can is weighty enough to stay put. I just LOVE it.
