Just bought this bin and it's great.  Ideal for a tight space and the automatic lid is so useful as you don't need to have a hand free for emptying waste into the bin top.  Saves splashing food waste all around the rim of the bin which keeps it hygienic as well.  Highly recommend it.  Our dog found it amusing the first time it opened automatically - must have thought it was an alien or something! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
