I absolutely LOVE this! Crazy I know to love a garage can but I am a bit of a germaphobe and I’ve always had issues with touching the garbage can!!!Most thought I was nuts to spend this kind of money but those and the family are all now in agreement it’s a great thing!! We’ve got friends and neighbors now weighing the benefits! The random opening is not an issue not sure if it’s picking up things we say or what but this doesn’t bother us a bit! Again I just love this thing and the 2 cans in 1 is a huge plus!!!!
