    The lid barely opened, so we'll see if my opinion changes after I get a new one. Thank goodness for insurance protection.

    Worked good for a month. Then the lid stopped opening. Also the base is weak. Spend a few more dollars and get a good one.

    DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT. Item completely stopped working conveniently after the Best Buy return period. So had to use tha manufacturer warranty. Which is seemintly taking longer than we've had the tarsh can. After trying all the troubleshooting recommendations, which failed, they still want the item brought to the store for them to troubleshoot. DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT.
