This is an okay waste container, but I found that it was not worth it to me to pay this much for something which has similar competition for less money. I bought it for two daughters as well as myself, and they were underwhelmed. It is good if you tend to toss wet trash in a waste recepticle and don't want leakage, but beyond that it is not worth the price. It won't tip over, which is good, but I would hope that by the time someone is middle-aged like me, they would know how to handle garbage without making a huge mess in the car.
