Title: Not Durable
Product review: I will keep it simple. It works great. It looks great. This is the second one we have owned. Both have failed prematurely as the gear mechanism that opens the lid is less than a quarter inch wide and made of plastic. Each time it has failed the gear (i.e., snaps). The last trash can lasted 7 months. We are going to buy a step operated can next. The step trash can is more money but a ten year warranty. It is also cheaper in the long run. Take it from two engineers (wife and I), this is not a durable design. The Achilles heel is the tiny gear. Then the whole thing is trash (pun intended)!
