I love my new SimpleHuman trash can. It is so obedient and a real crowd pleaser. Oh and it makes my life easier, as well. It is attractive, unobtrusive and is quality construction which is a hallmark of SimpleHuman. Sure, it was as bit pricey. I could have purchased a plastic trash can for much less, but I love technology and this makes me happy. It was delivered "no assembly required" and I would recommend this to anyone interested in a clean, efficient kitchen. My husband "talks" to it but I can't tell you what he says. :-)
