Great kitchen trash can! Our old Hamilton Beach automatic can had to be replaced after the motor died, and I got too used to having an automatically opening trash can. (Now using it for recycling.) It makes things easy when you're cooking and don't want to touch the trash can or when your hands are wet. The price was good, and it was delivered without a box or unnecessary packaging, which I appreciated. Lid closes slowly and has a good seal, because I don't smell anything. I also like that it's powered by batteries, because it's not dependent on finding an oulet (hard to get behind fridge).Great kitchen trash can!
