I needed a new waste basket for my kitchen and the Hefty 12.25 gallon with step on lid and soft close was a no brainer. It has a sleek look with metal accents that put it a step ahead of anything else plus its Hefty, a definite name I can trust with waste disposal. It was just as advertised with an easy step lid for when my hands are full and a soft close that diesnt slam shut. It also looks real nice in my kitchen. Thank you Hefty.
