Bought 1 because we were in need of a "dog proof" garbgage can and it had the best reviews for this type of problem. We now own 2! Each worth every penny spent just to come home every day not to find garbage strewn around the house. Will never buy any other brand again! Closes quietly. Works smoothly. Wipes clean and stays clean with minimal fingerprints/smudges. The removable inner bucket is great! Makes cleaning a breeze. Absolutely LOVE the stay open feature...use it daily while doing chores or a lot of cooking. Would love a small one for our bathrooms.
