Who knew I could love a trash can!  I got the stainless steel - and what a difference from all other trash cans I have owned.  I doesn't take up much space but holds a lot, it is quiet and opens and closes like a charm (no struggling with the foot pedal, slow and easy closing), it seals the contents so there's no odor - what more could I ask.  After having other trash cans that continued to irritate for one reason or another, each time I use this one, I notice the difference.  The best!
