I bought mine at Target on sale for $79.99. Had the same problem as the other reviewer. After about 2 days of use, the lid stopped closing. Basically, the latch piece is only held on to the lid by glue which easily wears out. The same problem occurs with the spring load bracket. The glue holding the bracket wears out and the spring loaded lid stops opening as wide.

The garbage can size proportions are odd also, it very narrow and tall. You have to use the extra tall garbage bags which we didn't have (and didn't want to buy).

The Rival Shredder/Garbage can is a great idea. Sadly, the garbage lid is a spring loaded flip up design that failed after opening and closing the lid 5-6 times. I purchased mine at Circuit City for 79.99, and returned it 20 minutes. later I did have a bit of fun watching the store clerk try to successfully close the garbage lid, only to have it flip back up in his face.
Shredder portion was okay, but I couldn't get 7 folded pages to go through. The opening is also 5" wide, so paper must be folded the long way.
