I have had this trash can for a few weeks now and it has not lived up expectations. The can itself is relatively flimsy and it does not have a hard plastic liner like the manual (foot pedal) flip-top trash cans do. It is difficult to get the trash bags to stay in place because the plastic ring that holds them will fall into the can. Also, if you place the can in an area where it is close to foot traffic, the lid will open and close when you walk by.The one plus is that you can place it against the wall and the lid will open fine. With most manual trash cans, the lid will not open all the way if the trash can is against the wall. However, I wish I had bought the Simpleman 40 Liter Semi-Round Manual Step Can instead.
