I couldn't believe I actually was willing to spend this kind of money for a -- gulp -- trash can, but I did and having had it for about 10 days I must say I'd do it again. I was so tired of listening to the clank of the lid of the old container every time I released the foot pedal. It was about to drive me crazy. The new one is whisper quiet. It really does seem to be fingerprint-proof, the bags are form-fitting and easy to switch out and they hold an incredible amount. I am very pleased with my purchase.
