We have a big family & needed a high quality trash can that could stand up to three kids!  Although a little more expensive than I would like to spend, this purchase was perfect for us.  The construction is solid and quite sturdy.  We like the quiet lid feature with a large oval opening.  We are also noticing that we are emptying the can less often due to its larger size.  I have read that regular trash bags can be used but haven’t tested that feature yet since we are still using the free sample custom bags it came with.  Overall, extremely pleased with the purchase & would recommend to anyone needing a larger-sized trash can.
