Is there a way to keep the lid open?

Yes, if the lid is completely opened, it will stay open until it is pushed down.

To keep the lid open, you have to lift it by hand (or step on the foot pedal the entire time).

It stays open if you put it all the way open! It knocks down pretty easily. But it's the best trashcan ever!!

Yes you just open it a little past what it would open if you just pushed the lever with your foot. Love this garbage pail!!

Yes, there is a locking mechanism for the lid to remain open. This facilitates removing and changing the bag.

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

I believe the extra effort to open it is so the lid stays open and does not fall closed.

No lid, but it seems to be a standard opening; any typical silicone lid should do. I don't use one because I personally don't care for them, so I'm not certain

It is my understanding locking the lid is an option. It's good for carrying the pot to another location.

I suppose the easiest way would be to just put some kind of weight on the foot pedal. Bag of sugar or can of something heavy enough to hold the lids open.

The lid will stay open vertically if you tighten the bolts that hold it. The bags are easily to get to if the lid is open or closed - easier if open.

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

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.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

I always have to have my husband do it. You just have to squeeze on the outside of the lid and it will snap back down. My hands aren't strong enough but he can get it closed.

You can pop the lid off but if you do it a lot it will loosen and not be as secure.

Yes, there is a small lever that keeps lid open, nice feature for removing or adding bag.interior can may also be removed, highly recommend this trash can

No the lid does not lock closed so if you tried to set it upright like that it would just fall open

I've used a butter knife between the bottom of the lid and the side of my thumb to pry it open. Just be careful not to spill it everywhere!
