Was wondering what the inside of the can is like. I have one I have had for several years but when I remove the bag, the inside of the can rips it.

unfortunately it probably can be described as similar situation, you have to be very careful taking the bag out.

I haven't and don't think I ever will. It's great. Lid pops up easily when you step on the step. It keeps bugs out. It holds more than you would think. Since it seals tightly you probably want to change the bag (toss out the full bag) instead of keep trying to push stuff in if you're using it like I am for throwing away food stuffs like cat food cans, tomato sauce used cans, etc. so you don't get those fruit flys or white wiggly little worms you can get if you don't change out the bag regularly. I would highly recommend it!

Sorry guys, My family has been here & we went thru it...BINGO! It was heavy & cumbersome as a whole bag package so I immediately divided it & put the bag's contents into 2 containers with a tight lids to reduce possible oxidation. The bag with the expiration date is long gone. It's so much more controllable, safer, cleaner & easier to use out of 2 containers with a tight lids.

Could you switch out the bad for a enema bag? I like all the reviews I have read except the few about mold growing in the bag. I would like to use the old fashion enema/douche bags with it.

Dawn,As the lid is compacted down, the bag is forced against the side of the container and thus mostly protected from rips. One must exercise a little care in the early stages of filling the can as you would with any normal filling. If there are wet and adhesive items, such as food waste, on top of the "pile" that is being pushed down, some of it will adhere to the underside of the lid. The great news is, you can toss the lid in the dishwasher or simply wipe it down like a kitchen surface.

I've used this product about 6-8 times so far and absolutly love it. I seek out things to pressure can. As long as the little arrow on the lid lines up when I twist it closed, I have no issues at all. Sounds like something is defective and I would try to return it if you still can.

We have this can, and the bag DOES NOT show from the outside. You only see the bag of you look inside the can from the top.

I'm guessing you're wanting to ask the seller, because each bag is different. As for mine, it was within date (still had about 6 months) but still tasted bad. It was burnt.

No the bag doesn"t rip. The opening is not smaller than the bag until you put the ring in to hold the bag.

I've had mine a couple months now. I always press the air out before resealing the bag and it stays fresh and dry.

I store it in its (flimsy) poly bag and its box, using the foam corner inserts, using some elastic bands to keep it closed. A padded ripstop bag will last longer and be more compact, but I haven't seen one. OTOH, i haven't really looked very hard.

I used mine 3 times. I used it till it kind of fell apart. I put it back in the plastic container and tried to seal it up with wrapping . I got 3 uses out of it. I might have gotten more if I had sealed it better. Wish it had a resealable package. A large sized zip lock bag might work but I didn't have one handy when I opened mine.

Hi Christine. I had all kinds of difficulty with my trash can. I thought it was awesome when I bought it, but it kept going off whenever anyone walked by (didn't matter how close or far they were away from the can). When my lid wouldn't close, I had to call them, and they told me to check and make sure the bag wasn't covering the front sensor on the can. I ended up returning it for a full refund. Too expensive for all the hassle I had with it. Sorry.

No rips in mine. It arrived in wrapped in plastic and then inside a plastic bag besides.

Haven't purchased any lately, but the few bags I have gotten in the past were always wonderful. Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience, I am sure they will replace them for you if you contact the seller thru Amazon in a timely manner.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.
