Love it! Had cans before with lids that opened by stepping on a pedal, but they never worked right. The hinge would disconnect. Swing lids become too dirty. I didn't want a "no-touch" because figured they would break and they are pricey. This open top is so simple and convenient. So far the dog has not gotten into it unlike the swing lid. It is tall and the top creates an extra barrier. It has a slim design and looks nice--got the black top. Normal trash bag fits fine. So glad I picked this design.
