First of all, we bought 2 of these. I wanted a garbage and recycling vine that held a significant amount but wasn't an open top. I have it so they're next to each other along the side of the counter and it's the perfect size and the lids open whichever way I want. I spent way too long looking for a garbage can that fit in the narrow space that held a 13 gallon bag. So we bought these. They're obviously great. Except the dent. Was it there before? I'm not sure. My husband immediately hated them with a passion because there wasn't a container in there to pull out the recycling. He made a container (recycled a cardboard box for the recycle bin) to fit into the van and now we can pull it out to throw empty out the recycle without banging the expensive can on the larger one outside. The one thing I really don't like is the part that juts down into the can, I think it's the charcoal absorber. It's just a nuisance and is one more thing to tweak. We labeled them with magnetic recycle and garbage signs so I guess they're not truly stainless steel, probably brushed nickel if that bothers you. I personally hate the stainless I have and despise dealing with the fingerprints, no fingerprints on this. We have yet to put batteries in it. They need a lot of the expensive batteries and to they're not necessary, it just requires pulling up and then pushing down so I don't really care. I like them, I'd buy them again, but I still think they're overpriced.
