This trash can is fantastic not only does it look great but it functions very well, I am a single guy so the trah can gets no abuse and I have had this trash can for over 4 years now.
and it looks brand new
..If you have the corner space for it, it has a very built in look
highly fashonable

I bought this can a year ago and had the same problem described by everyone else. The plastic clip on the bottom cracked and it can't be used anymore. I tried to email the company 2x's and have heard nothing. I went back to where I bought it and they no longer sell the brand....wonder why!!!! Too expensive for 1 year.

I had this garbage can, and like the 1st reviewer, the plastic clips that held the foot bar down broke CONSTANTLY! I contacted Hailo USA, and the gentleman there sent me a bunch of replacement clips. I finally ran out of clips, gave up, and got a different can altogether.
For the money, which seemed high for a garbage can, it isn't worth it.

This can makes me very disappointed. One of the plastic pieces on the movable cover was broken after two months of use. The plastic pieces at the bottom did not last longer: they were not functioning well within the first year. Avoid this trashcan!

I too was attracted by the shiny, pretty, space saving can for our small kitchen. The exact same part that the above customers state was malfunctional also broke on our can in less than one year of normal use.
