I've had this a couple of months now, and now I can safely say that this trash can is the best I've ever experienced! The soft close lids are great, and you have the option to leave them open if need be. Mine came undamaged and in perfect working order, and still show no signs of wear. They are very easy to clean. Just a quick wipe down with a rag for smudges, or a spot of multicleaner on a rag for any spots is more than sufficient, and a spritz of vinegar + water in the bin for smells. It's pretty good at keeping smells locked in, but not 100%.The only thing that I dislike is that it needs an atypical size of trash bag, but I found that I can use my old standard kitchen bags just fine. There is a hole in the back that you can tuck the excess liner into, so you are given the option to use standard bags. Just means that the bag won't be full when you pull it out of the can, but we seldom fill a bag in a week anyway in our household so that's not a big deal for us.I also really like that it came with magnets to indicate which side is trash and which side is recycling. I live with someone who's inattentive and very forgetful, and those little magnets help him get his waste into the right side. They're sleek and help save space in the kitchen. A little more than you might pay for two cans at Costco, but it's well worth it for the functionality, space savings, and ease of cleaning. Highly recommend!
