Can the lid be opened completely?

Yes. The top screws off (the black plastic top is separate from the metal container).

The inside of the lid can be opened completely which makes it alot easier to clean around the mechanism. That's one of the best features of the cup I think. I love it. Hope this helps. I have to say this was a very practical purchase for me

The entire lid does come off. I wouldn't advise taking the entire lid apart. You have to push the button to drink from it. There is no locking open position.

no the lid is not transparent. I don't know of a compatible transparent lid.

Yes. The lid has a spring loaded hinge, it will clamp shut from all positions until it is pulled back all the way; at which point it will stay open

Yes, the lid opens up to a little more than 90 degrees from the horizontal.

yes, you just put on top of can and press button, it opens the lid without any help. very good product.

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

Yes you can, the lid is a separate piece, it's not attached to the main box.

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!

Sure you can. The lid has smooth edges and can be placed back on top of the can. It fits snug but of course it is not truly sealed.

Yes the way its made there are two bars accross the top so you can slide each bar. Works great. You can have it completly open half open anyway you want and no floppy lid to mess with. I like it much better than metal ones and very sturdy.

The lid does open to 90 degrees from the closed position. After that, when unplugged, the entire thing can be disassembled, if you have the inclination (and one tool) to do it. I do not recommend that, though. It is easily cleaned with the lid open.

The lid is difficult to remove without breaking small parts. I don't think routine removal is advisable. This is a correction to my previous answer of "yes".

Not so much. There's a little black button you push to the side which must be held there as you open the lid.

The lid seals very tightly. You just have to muscle it open. It pops straight up.

Yes you can. Do not discard the lid. also the rubber seal and be replaced if not with another one like it one can be made from old and thin rubber like a bicycle tire tube.

Personally, I find it easy enough to open with just enough tightness so the lid doesn't just slip around. The lid was never an issue for me.

Yes, very easy open. At first I struggled with closing the lid because I didn't understand that I have to pull the lever with my thumb for opening AND closing! FYI, I have crippled hands from severe rheumatoid arthritis. But I still can do it.
