Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE 11/1/2020 After five years of daily use, I had to re-order a replacement. The newer model now comes with a pet lock. Pros: The dimensions are perfect for a small to medium household. Given the square-like shape, particularly on the top opening, allows for larger trash pieces to be seeded into the trash can. Guests always comment on this trash can - for its simplistic and modern appeal, but also for the automated sensor that opens the lid. It's incredibly smooth and easy to operate, and once you go this route - you'll probably never want to go to a manual trash can again. In addition, the filter provides great odor management. The batteries lasted over 8 months for me before having to change them out. Cons: The filter (housing unit for the activated charcoal bag to reduce odor) can become dislodged and lost in the trash. I've mysteriously lost and have had to replace the filter three times now. Despite this, I still love this trash can and would recommend it. The filter is not necessary.
