We love our new trash can, it’s perfect! Aesthetically pleasing, roomy, easy to clean and the dog has yet to figure out how to open. The foot pedal is great. The lids close slowly on their own which isn’t a problem. Much better in my opinion than the battery operated cans that open on their own at the slightest motion (bad for dog owner) or not at all because the battery constantly dies. Overall very happy with this purchase!
