Product review (4 stars): Foiled the dog!
This solved one kitchen problem: A dog that likes to eat paper.  I like an open trash bin in the kitchen but open bins don't work if you have a dog.  We use this one just for paper -- paper towels, tissues, butcher paper -- no food.  That way, if we forget to empty it on trash day, there's no smell.

The size is functional -- small enough to tuck away if you want it tucked away.  The plastic is stiff and sturdy and the finish has a nice texture.  Sometimes smooth plastic is difficult to keep clean.
