Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me explain. After first pulling can from its shipping box, I notice three things amiss(an yes, it is a design flaw, not my specific can). The can will not open correctly, when it does open, it won't close all the way, and the hinge at the lid keeps coming disingaged. Being the type of person I am, this simply won't do. I flip the can over, remove the two retaining screws an pull off the bottom plate. There is a white plunger with an o-ring there(for holding the lid open I guess? ) an I remove it. Put the can back together, an now it opens an shuts beautifully and the lid hinge stays engaged. (You do still have to manually insert the mechanism back in the hinge, when changing bags sometimes, but not a big deal for me). Granted, it only stays open as long as my foot is on the pedal, but that is all I need. I put the can to use, an quickly discovered the tipping problem mentioned in other reviews. (The manufacturer sacrificed stability for a sleek tapered design) every time u step on the foot pedal, the base of the can slides back a lil, till eventually it would tip. Well, this is not a problem for me either, as my can is up against a wall, and I put something behind the base to keep it from scooting, which leads to tipping. So, now that I have solved all the issues, I absolutely love this can. It looks good, and having all plastic parts with an overlapping lid, the can is rain proof, which is good for me, as I use the can outside my home for disposal of my dogs poo. So, for my purpose, I like the can, it looks nice, and yes, I would buy it again. Hope this helps
