I really like it.  Actually, everyone in the family likes the ease of not messing with a lid.  What we had before was a swinging lid and as soon as the trash was 23rds full you could see all the trash anyway cause the lid was stuck.  The only way to add more trash was to take the whole lid off because the lid wouldnt swing anymore.  I was going to get a step lid but it seemed like all of them would hit the countertop overhang.  Anyway, now my preschool grandkids can actually throw things away.  I only gave this four stars though because of the price.  I do think its over priced.   I sprung for it because all the others I saw like this didnt have handles and I needed to be able to lift it easily.  I basically paid 50 more to have handles.
