This is the easiest to use trash system I've ever seen!! After 5 years I still have not had one single bag leak or Break apart. The oval shaped unit is perfect for the kitchen where you don't want to give up a lot of space.The step lid opener Works perfectly, never allowing the liner to slip inside. The Brushed stainless steel body makes for easy cleaning with some stainless steel Polish. Couldn't be better thank you very much, Louis.
