    New model is Made in China; not the same as previous.
    If you order this trash can Sold and shipped by Amazon, you'll receive the latest version of this product which is now sadly made in China. As of at least May 2022, the pictures shown on this item are incorrect as they are for the previous, Made in USA version.The current made in China model some changes: They got rid of the holes on the pieces of metal which make up the lever. These holes were there because because with the previous model, you had the option to purchase a pneumatic dampener to turn it into a soft close lid. They newer version gets rid of that, so no soft close option anymore.The foot press pedal no longer has a rubber grip on it. While easily be remedied with some sandpaper, tape, or rubber pad with adhesive, I did not expect bare metal as that was not what was depicted.For what is essentially a pricey yet simple, all metal trash can, the welding and powder coating quality are lacking. Poor quality welds on the bottom piece and body. You can see evidence of poor power coating on the bottom of the trash can, as well as drip marks from a "touch up" done to get the product out the factory.Negatives aside, the red version looks great. The bad powder coating is on the bottom so it isn't normally visible and the worst looking welds (the inner bottom -- the part you see when you remove the liner) will rarely, if ever, be seen so it also doesn't matter too much.It's still a nice trash can overall -- really love that red powder coat -- but now that it can't be made soft-closing, doesn't have the simple, basic rubbergrip on the foot pedal, and is made in China in an attempt to save on manufacturing costs, I'm not sure the value for money is there.Value for money aside, the lid does indeed keep in odors for my trash and its sturdiness compared to something like simplehuman is unquestionable. We have one of those voice activated simplehuman kitchen trash cans and I much prefer this one.
