Yes, the price may be more than I ever thought i'd pay for a trash can, but the extra cash is worth it. When I had to replace my plastic Simple Human can, it only made sense to step up and purchase this one. It's heavier than plastic, making it less likely to tip over during occasional mishap. The trashbags The store-bought trashbags I already had for the old can also fit this can perfectly. Whatever makes my life easier in the kitchen is worth the cost.
