It's a trashcan. I needed one that worked for our needs. The first one sent was defective, the lid wouldn't open. After receiving the replacement, no issues so far. I'm not really thrilled about having an auto open can but it is what it is. It is a bit smaller than the plastic one we are replacing that didn't fit the 13 gallon bags easily. It takes up less space and I have to take out the bag more often, I'll keep using it because it fits the space better.
