One drawback is that sometimes the lid doesn't close properly when you close it. However, if you try again a few times, it will close, and above all, it is a dustbin that gives the impression of a tidy space. Also, some people may find it difficult to hook the garbage bag inside the dustbin, but I think you will get used to it and be able to do it well as you use it. Furthermore, because the lid opens when you step on it, the space for putting in rubbish is a little smaller, but I think it's only a small amount, so if you want a pedal-type, simple, space-saving bin, I think this is still worth using!
