Is it easy & convenient to close the lid? And does the lid stay closed as 1 person complained about this.?

I had to purchase this trash can to keep my dogs out of the trash. It has been a complete success. Very well made like all simple human. Mine opens and closes perfectly. I highly recommend!

It is very easy to open and close the lid. You do have to make sure that when you close it, you push it all the way down or it won't latch completely and will pop open. But, it doesn't just pop open by itself.

It isn't as convenient as a foot bar since you have to manually close this lid, but it stays closed without an issue.

Extremely easy to open n close. I cook a lot, almost 2x a day. That said, I love this trash can, helps ease kitchen clean up. As for the lid not closing, only when the can is overstuffed beyond the brim does it fail to close.

Very easy to open and close. Purchased to keep dogs out of garbage and to have recycling and trash in one space saving container, awesome at both!! Lid only stays open if over filled.

Press down on the Release button and then pull off. It is a bit rough at 1st but you will get it. Also, it helps if you hold opposite diagonal corners to pull off the lid.

You can definitely leave it and not worry about leaking. Screw the lid on properly though!

No, the only way the lids stay open is to step on the foot pedal. I thought that could be a nuisance but it's hands free and I don't actually find a problem with it. It's a great garbage can.

we are in our mid 80's and have physical "issues" but have not found it difficult to open or close the thermos....just tighten it enough to seal it but don't go overboard and attempt to *lock it down*!

The lid is spring loaded and stays open till you manually shut it. Just to be sure I got up and tried to pour with the lid open and I had no problem. Just curious why you would want to do this because the steam could and it did not but could get in your face. I hope I was of some help. I personally have had this for at least a year and I am happy with it. Reg.

Were you ever able to get the lid off? I had to throw mine out (don't know what brand) and I am looking for one that will not have that problem. NB

No, not at all !! I have trouble even getting the lid to stay on at all and usually don't even use the lid. It is also open at the pour spout, so you definitely can't close the container completely.

In my experience the lid is not easily removable which seems to be a design flaw. We just leave ours resting on top. It got stuck twice in the first weeks that we owned it and ha to pry it off. I do not recommend this composter.

Does not appear to be a problem. Lid closes slowly, hard to force quickly so has not happened to my son.

Definitely clicks when you put on the lid. Then the lid is somewhat loose while on. It would not come off if you shook it, it requires a little force to remove the lid. The lid is not airtight.

Hi Kathleen....ours closes very easily. Opening is a little harder. You have to pull up on the latch first.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

Well, it is easy to take off. I have had a hard time keeping it to stay on. I configured it my own way and it seems to be working for now. Problem is there is not many options out there so I am using it until I find something better.

No. It's a plastic top that you pry (for lack of a better term) or pop off to drink. It's not difficult to open and close, unless a younger toddler is attempting to open it. It's attached so you just pop it open to drink and click it shut to close it. I use them everyday and haven't had any issues with spilling or leaking. I hope this helps!

the bottom one is easy.... but the lid cover was a pain to get off.... I thought I was going to break the screen because of the amount of pressure i used. BE CAREFUL. I opened the lid and then started on the side trying to pry it up a little with my right hand while with my left got my fingernail underneath the little clip and pushed it up till it popped off. Then you have to get off the left clip which was even harder..... good luck and be reallly extremely careful.

The lid stays on just fine. In fact, if my husband is already asleep and i want to make a late night cup of tea, i fill the pot with water earlier in the evening and have it ready, becuase putting the lid on and clicking it in makes a noise. it fits tight and does not leak. i am very happy with mine. the handle is stationary, so you have to finagle the lid a bit to get it in and clicked tight. but i have arthritis and i can do it so it's no big deal. dee jaquet
