Having previously had the same garbage separator, I bought this back, because he is the only one who fits in my corner in the kitchen between washing machine and cabinet. He was perfectly fine and has to its predecessor even the advantage that the lid has a protruding plastic part in the middle, so you can open it with a better hand. The only downside, the already had its predecessor, and what you should do really even thought at Wesco, is securing the metal bracket on the buckets. By attaching the metal brackets inside the bucket, the garbage bags to stay when you fill, very easy to hang on the protruding metal studs, so that the bag tears and one must first pick up the garbage. Well, if you know that the bags have to just pull out very carefully and must not make it so full.
