Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never imagined I would spend so much for a trash can - in fact, I had buyer's remorse as soon as I hit the one-click button. Think about it, though. I spend my life in a 1br/1 ba with room for only one trash can. It's something I see several times a day. I'd rather see this than its predecessor, a $10 Rubbermaid that somehow always had food dribbling from the edges and had to be hosed out weekly. I use this with regular 13 gallon garbage bags. I have arthritis in my fingers, so inserting a new bag is painful at times, but that probably goes with the territory. I laughed when I read some reviews saying this holds more than a regular 13-gallon bag, because science would suggest otherwise. It seems to! I have no facts to support this. For those complaining that they could do without the liner bag at the back (and the added depth) - look at it sideways (see my pic). The door hinges are what cause the added depth, not the bag liner storage. That's because the bin itself is devoted to just holding the garbage. I love that the bag storage system hides the edges of the garbage bag from view. I have been told that it's also good at stifling smells. I have no sense of smell, but I hope so. My Rubbermaid certainly didn't. Think about it: If you're about to spend $5,000 on a kitchen renovation, this is small change. It makes my small kitchen look a million bucks better and work a lot better too. Update: I caved and bought the Simple Human trash bags, and I'm, er, glad. They're easier to fit on the bin, they're designed to disappear under the rim, and they seem to be better quality than the Glad bags I'd been using. I've yet to see one of the bags spring a leak from something sharp-edged in the trash - the Glad bags often did. Everyone knows what a hassle it is when the trash bag starts falling apart as you're racing it to the garbage chute/wheelie bin.
