"I bought this product to go in my first home. The shape of it has to be my favorite. While my kitchen was never big, it never got in the way. The lid kept odors trapped inside, and I even went an extra step and attached a deodorizer to the top of the can. It was the perfect size. I only had to take out the trash about once a week, but I was also living alone.
The only problems I had with this can was how easily it would smudge and get dirty. I recommend using stainless steel wipes on the can. I didn't and scratched the surface.
Also, while pulling a heavy trash bag from the can, I knocked the lid, disabling it from opening and closing with the foot pedal. It snapped back into place very easily.
Overall, a wonderful product, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want to wipe it down about once a day."
