I am so pleased with this can.  A couple of months ago I had purchased a stainless steel can with an insert for a heck of a lot more money and it was basically a piece of junk.  The foot pedal on this can does not crash down but slowly lowers.  You  can also have the lid stay open for changing bags.  I also purchased the garbage bags for this can and they are worth the extra price.  Contrary to a lot of the reviews, I find them to be strong and stay in place no matter how full.  I purchased the gray and it goes well with my stainless kitchen.  As far as I'm concerned, for the price this can far surpasses the more expensive stainless.  

Pros: sturdy,  well made 
Cons: none that I have found unless you have a problem with having to purchase the different bags.
