Can the lid stay up without keeping your foot on the pedal?

Yes, if you lift the lid by hand instead of by foot pedal. it stays 90* open.

Yes, it has a little lever under the lid to hold it open. Another feature you will like is that it does not skid when the foot lever is depressed.

No, but if you like you can place a large diameter plastic lid (like from tubs of ice cream) turned upside down and under it to keep it in place until you are strong and stable enough to manage on your own. To keep it from rolling around the house, I use the lid. I only use this for a chair at the computer desk.

I have not found that to be the case at all. Very nice mug that won't tip over!

Yes, it stays open. The lid however doesn't lift very high, but it will stay open.

The top will stay open by itself if you open it all the way. It does not have hinges that keep it open.

Yes, it will stay open, if you have it up against a wall. We keep the lid up most of the time - it doesn't fall shut on its' own.

Not at all! The lid is a bit higher. This is a lovely piece; you won't be disappointed!

Lid must be down step firmly on peddle. Hope this helps I have three no problems.

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.

Not if sitting upright. It has a hard plastic (removable) container that acts as a liner.

If you don't keep pressure on the foot pedal while the lid is closing, it will come back down fairly fast.

Yes, there is a hook on the inside of the lid so it will just hang off to the side.

My lid just rests on top. It does have a little wiggle room but it still works great!

The lid is not "fixed" on - it has two indentations which fit into the expanding handle and it more-or-less fits to the top of the box fairly snugly. My wife uses the box on almost a daily basis, and has no problem with the lid. It is much better than her "back-up" box which is a milk-crate fastened to a two-wheel cart. Excess weight can, however, be a concern - the more weight, the more chance of harming the cart.

The lid does have a slight raised curve on it, so I would say "no". I think the top one would definitely slide around.

Yes, the lid stays up very well. The lid is very sturdy, as well as the basket itself. I have now had this product for over a year and still love it to this day.
