I love it. I bought the cream one to go with my kitchen. My young son was quite "surprised" with it as it does open suddenly, but he soon fell in love with it and in fact went around the house looking for rubbish to put into it; if only I knew this is how to get him to throw rubbish away I would have bought it years ago! It is very sensitive and when my cat leaps over it the lid springs and gives her the shock of her life! To be honest, I'm not sure how I coped before, it is so useful to have it open and close without having to touch it. Highly recommended.
