There are quite a few things I really like about this trash can. First off, it's tall and skinny so great for my small kitchen. Next I love that the outside stays fingerprint free which is great if you have kids. Even more importantly to me, the lid sits down flat into the trash can so my dog isn't able to flip the lid off of the can! I also really love that the trashcan has an inner hard liner that can come out. This feature makes cleaning the inside so so much easier. Oh and the soft closing lid is amazing. It doesnt make any noise at all!
