The Hefty 12.25 Gal Step On with Soft Close Lid Wastebasket is everything I've been looking for. It is lightweight, easy to assemble and keeps bad smells out of my kitchen. I am definitely going to get a second one for my motorhome. We had had a different one in the motorhome and it kept popping apart every time we would try to take the bag out and it was really hard to reassemble the lid lifting mechanism. The Hefty is so easy all you do is put it over the notches press down and it snaps right in. The clinic closes easily and gently so there is not a loud banging noise either. I love everything about it!
