How does the bag stay on the bin? How secure is it if you're tossing stuff in there?

You basically hang the bag in, and let the excess length fold over the sides. All 3 galon bags I've tried have plenty of excess bag to fold over.

You can just drape the excess top of the bag over the edge - there will be about 3-4 inches of excess. The bag is very soft and malleable so it doesn't fall into the container when you place food in there.

The bag is not secure. We are very disappointed in how this works (or doesn't work). A loose bag allows fruit flies to enter the bin, defeating the purpose of the bin.

There are straps but can't remember if they are secure. The vacuum container becomes so heavy that It would not be toted around in order for items to fall out.

It's pretty stiff and it has straps on the inside like a suit case to secure your stuff. I've had mine for couple a years and best bag I've ever owned and I've been through a bunch! Hope this helps...safe travels!

There is a black plastic bin inside. It is just a bit smaller. You put your bag in, hang it over the plastic edge and the bag is caught between the outside metal and the plastic. I never had a problem even when using bags that aren't Simple Human.

I put it under the seat so my legs don't hit it. I have the large and it's fairly narrow, but has plenty of room. Some bags secure tighter, but I think this one is secure enough. It doesn't move around.

Hi DianaqiI use a large bag first as a protection for the black inside bin. I only occasionally change this bag. . This way I virtually never have to clean the bin base. I then use ordinary supermarket bags ( I live in Australia ) and they fit easily. If you tuck the handles around first before you slip the bin in there it's no problem. I have also used plastic bags that come in a roll from the supermarket. They are cheap and come in various sizes. I hope you can follow this. I tried but couldn't attach a photo. Good luck.

The bag rolls easily over joints and holes. I've had the bag for 2 years, never had any issues.

My laptop stays there pretty securely. It isn't tied down, so if you inclined the mat a lot, the laptop would probably slide off.

The sizes of the compartments are pretty adjustable and you should be able to fit a grocery bag in it without any trouble. It's non-slip also so they should stay still. I like mine and abuse it and it still likes me.

i tied a shoe string to the loops on the bottom of the bag and secured it to the framework in the seat for some added stabilization. It has a strap that will also run through the seat structure. The shoe string keeps it stable from side movement

I use a 2.6 gallon compostable Glad bag, which is their smallest; there is about a 5 inch overhang, but it works. The interior of the bin is perfectly smooth and lid is easy to remove for cleaning. I find that there is a small amount of leakage after a week of filling the bin--either the bags are semi-permeable or they are beginning to compost. I take the bin out to my compost heap and dump the bag and liquid, then I rinse and dry the bin. A small inconvenience.

It's not flimsy, and definitely won't slide off with normal use. Unfortunately I don't travel with this unit, so I can't really speak on how it would hold up being carried in a bag daily, but my honest opinion is that it wouldn't be a problem. Hope that helps!

We have this can, and *most* of the time it keeps him out (a mini-Aussie). However, even when it stays shut, he has managed to remove the bag (leaving the trash inside the can). He sometimes gets it open by pulling up on the back of the can. I've come downstairs to find he popped the back off with the lock still in place.Of course, it depends on what is in the can as to how determined he is to get into it.

The bags just hang but the construction of the bag "hangers" and the frame are very solid - I stuff mine to the max and never have a problem with them drooping or pulling on the frame.

I haven't had any issues with it. I love this bag. Holds everything I take with me and it was CHEAP...but not cheaply made!

The bins don't come out. So far that has not been an issue. the bags are held in place by plastic molded pieces that come out. the bags remove easily and have space left to add to them if needed. My son kept pushing the trash down and stuffed a bag once, it was a bit harder to get out but no harder than a regular trash can that has been stuffed full.

Yes, it actually holds it very well. the rim actually hold on to the side of the bag which prevents it from falling into the trash can.
