Lid does not have a stay open function.

Locking feature is great with kids.

Would Recommend

Pretty straight forward. It’s a trash can. Bags stay on and as a parent to young children I really appreciate the locking feature. My oldest son surprisingly is the one who likes to play with it. This curbed the habit very quickly.

Lid is junk

Would Not Recommend

Had it for a month and the back of the lid pops off every time we close the lid so while we can lock it in the back it will just lift up in the back which defeats of the purpose of the lock because of son will try to open the back. Of course we’ve had it just long enough we no longer have receipt and lowes won’t return it since we’ve had it a month and used it.

Within 4 hours of setting it up, the lid developed a stress spot on the plastic connection point on the right side and would no longer snap onto the post. The left side is still fine but the lid won't open properly anymore and will actually pop off every time. The can has now been relegated to the garage where we throw our aluminum cans for recycling and the useless lid has gon...

great concept, terrible execution

Would Not Recommend

I have had this trash can for a couple years now. Initially, it worked great. For about the last year the lid constantly pops off if you use the pedal. I get so aggravated with it that I want to throw it!!!
