We LOVE our new trash can! It is a great size, and the 'touchless' function works amazingly well. We do have to turn it off when our 15 month old grandson visits, he would wear out the battery! The design is very sleek, it looks every bit as nice as more expensive trash cans. I was concerned that the opening wouldn't be large enough for things like paper plates, but so far that hasn't been a problem. It's also easy to keep clean, and I really like the fact that I can use regular tall kitchen trash bags.
