I am really impressed with this trash can.. I had one prior that bent up and we couldn't get the bag out and it was not a good one , this one however is such an improvment ! The insert slides right out so it can be emptied easily. My kids are much happier about taking out the trash now . 
The step button lifts the lid and let's if down slowly as not to slam it  . Also you can open it all the way up and it stays open for you for easy clean up. I have it under the edge of my island but the over hang hit it because of the way it opened do keep that in mind as it opens the long way . Fits normal. 13 gallon trash bags and they don't slide down at all.
