I used to throw my garbage into a paper bag below my kitchen sink because I didn't want to mess up the look my beautiful kitchen with an unsightly garbage can. Then I saw this one and I have to say it really is spectacularly pretty for something this functional. However; the metal is pretty thin and fragile so you have to be careful while moving it and it's not entirely fingerprint proof as advertised. It will, over time, develop unsightly marks. The inner can is a really nice thing -- the garbage bag goes over that so you don't see it when the lid is closed. The problem is that unless you buy the simple human brand of trash bags, it's really hard to fit a bag around the inner container. You have to spend some time really tucking it in. And the simple human bags are quite expensive. Also, the nonstick bottom is actually four nonstick rubber pads that fit into the bottom of the container and they tend to come out whenever you move the can, e.g., when you clean your floor. Finally, the piece that is supposed to keep the container open without your having to keep your foot on the step pedal doesn't really work, although I find that I don't really need that feature.
The bottom line is that this can is attractive enough to make me overlook the functional faults.
One final note -- resist the temptation to buy simple human accessories. The charcoal odor removers are a total waste of time and the simple human liners, while they fit the can perfectly, are really expensive compared to those you can buy at the grocery store. Unless you really have an issue with tucking the band around the inner can, stick with what you normally use.
ADDITIONAL NOTE 11/5/08: This can really absorbs odors. You have to wash the inner container out with soap and water on a regular basis and as much of the outer bin as you can, otherwise it stinks to high heaven.
