Quality metal construction. Odor protection is great other when changing out the bags (which is to be expected). Foot pedal works fine. The replacement bags gets loaded in from the top rather than the side as in previous models. This can make bag removal somewhat awkward as you have to physically hoist the bag of dirty diapers up and out. The other minor inconvenience is that you need to push the dirty diaper in with some force through the trap door. Older models would have a pocket to drop the diaper in then the trap door would open after releasing the foot pedal. 



I received this diaper pail from the Stellar Product Testing Panel
