This 2 compartment trash/recycling can is exactly what I have been looking for for my smallish kitchen. It is the same width as the cabinets are deep, so it fits perfectly next to an end cabinet and looks good. The stainless steel goes nicely with my stainless steel appliances. Each compartment is about 8 gallons, so I need to change the bag daily (whereas I could go 2-3 days with my previous larger trash bin). The only cons for me are: 1) You cannot lift the lid and leave it open (without stepping on the foot pedal) for easy access while prepping food; 2) There is a slight dent on the front right corner (see photo), despite very good protective packaging. It seems like this is a manufacturing flaw; it is not very noticeable, and is worth keeping in my opinion.
