I have been looking for a large kitchen trash can for a long time. I wanted one that would use the 30-33 gallon bags. I wanted it to not tip over and for it to be secure from my 16 month old. This is fantastic. The metal bars inside hold the bag securely to the hard plastic inside container. The lid seals securely with a rubber gasket so that the garbage smell is contained. The lid has a piano hinge, as described, and so the lid does not fall off or in. The foot pedal is great and the lid is attached to it with steel bars on both sides, so it doesn't fall on your hand as you are putting in trash, nor does it flip back. It closes itself when you lift your foot from the pedal. It is well worth the price and I hope it is the last kitchen trash can I ever have to buy. I recommend it whole heartedly!
