My partner & I needed a bigger trash can for our kitchen & this was the most affordable one at this size. Plus, it came with a bonus feature I didn't realize until opening it. There are two sized rims at the top of the trash can so you can easily use a bigger or smaller trash bag without them tearing. This is perfect for us as we don't always have the bigger sized trash bags we like. It also kind of vaccuum seals because of the way the lid is shaped. If you lightly push on the top of the lid it will seal itself keeping all the odors inside. Great trash can all around.
