We had enough of our previous models pedal: pedal breaks and not trash steady as soon as one opens. We did not want either one automatic battery eater. We opted for this model push and are not disappointed. She is perfect! The opening system is rather strong (at least more than other push models that we have seen in stores), the format is perfect and adapts very well with 50L bags that do not move with the supplied plastic holder that is positioned on the bag once installed.
