I am very happy with my new stainless-steel trash! It’s incredibly easy to clean and goes so well with the rest of my stainless-steel appliances. The lid opens quite easily when the pedal is pressed. One of the best features is that the lid is a soft close, so it does not slam down and make any noise. The weight of the bin is also very light so it’s easy to move it around and clean up the area under it. A bag is places inside with ease and secures very well so that no matter what you throw in, the bag stays put. Another great feature is that the lid stays closed so that the smells stay inside the bag and don’t sneak out to the rest of the kitchen. Recommend 100%.
