This is a nit, but bag storage in the larger model is superior - in this model, you have to come up with your own solution. Other than that, no complaints
We recently moved to an older home that did not have built in garbage & recycling bins in the kitchen, and had less floor space. This dual compartment can fit the space and needs perfectly! Hands-free opening & closing is a wonderful asset, too.
I wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars because I really do love it. It’s just that I wish the garbage side of the pail was slightly bigger. Other than that, I love it. The recycle pail makes sense that it is bigger than the other side and it forces you to think twice about what we would be sending to a landfill and what should be recycled. The can over all was worth the price. Highly recommend. Easy to clean.
If you recycle more than you toss, this is a great option! The wide shape works well in my kitchen, and I love that the top doesn’t bump into the wall when it opens. The keep open feature works great while prepping a whole bunch at once!
