Ive had the can a couple of months and love it. It is large overall but I really dont mind. Thankfully it is sleek and fits In to my kitchen. I do use the voice sensor pretty regularly. This has been a game changer for my recycling habits though! I always had stuff stacked on my counter to go out and I hated that, so often just threw things in the trash. We recycle all the bits we can now ! One concern I had was that the trash side didnt hold as much as our old can and that we would be taking it out every day - but it holds plenty of trash for a family of 3. I feel like we empty it about the same (maybe because we are recycling more, who knows). Anyway, no regrets and really love this from a usefulness and looks standpoint.
