Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought this for our bathroom, and have just ordered 2 more for our other 2 bathrooms. The rectangular shape and size of this tucks nicely alongside the toilet. It's smaller than I imagined, even knowing its measurements, but for a bathroom it's all we need. Half a star deduction because although it's perfectly sized to be used with plastic shopping bags, the insert is a little taller than the can. This means that when you fold a plastic bag liner over the top of the insert, it's visible even with the lid closed. I solved this by using a paper bag (smaller than a standard shopping bag) as an insert within the insert. (see customer images) I folded down the top of the paper bag so it's a couple of inches shorter than the insert. I line this paper insert with the plastic bag, then set this down into the plastic insert. This way, the plastic bag does not show. The plastic bag keeps this paper bag clean, so you can keep using the same paper bag and just discard the plastic bag. I love the soft close lid - - it gently closes itself without slamming. If you open the lid manually, or keep your foot on the pedal, it will stay open . . . if you use the foot pedal, it opens, then almost immediately begins to close. It stays open for just a second or so to give you enough time to drop your waste in. As a side note, we have a kitty litter box in our bathroom and this does not allow enough room for the litter box scooper. I solved this by purchasing this " Amco Stainless Steel Magnetic Pocket Organizer with Note Pad and Pen ". It magnetically sticks to the side of this trash can and is the perfect place to store the scooper. It looks like it was made for it.
