We got this can for about two months. When we first set it up, the plastic "ring" that you use to hold the trash bag in place was really difficult to set up and put the bag on. So we finally just stopped using it and have the bag edges showing outside the can. We change the bag just about everyday, so having to deal with the bag holder "ring" wasn't worth the trouble. Other than that, it was great until it broke.The sensor was a little too sensitive, so you would have to walk at least a foot away around it in order to not have it open the can. Then it broke after just two months. The lid connector has this tiny little gear mechanism that works with another tiny gear inside the collar of the lid that opens the lid flap. The tiny gear broke off from inside the lid part and fell into the trash. We tried to use superglue to reattach the gear, but that also popped off after just one try. I guess you need to really make the gears line up exact, otherwise it just doesn't work. We are disappointed that the mechanism to open and close the lid is so weak. It has been two days but we are still waiting for the manufacturer to return our call.
