The size is perfect as I had to put ours at the end of our kitchen island. Great quality and it holds the trash bag in place very well. I got the trashcan in white which is easier to keep clean than our old black one. The top is a glossy plastic which just wipes clean-love it!
Our white with silver trim 45L slim step can functions perfectly, and has a nice appearance that compliments our kitchen design. But, we wish simplehuman offered a matching model sized to around 30L to use a recycling can next to the 45L.
