Stainless Steel Motion Sensor 1.3-gallon Trash Can

Nice trash can overall. The batteries are located inside of the trash can. So replacing them are a hassle since you have to take the can liner out then put the batteries in. My other trash can has its batteries on the lid, so replacing is easier. But since the lid moves up and down I understand why the manufacturers put the batteries inside. But the batteries do last so it makes this chore more bearable.

I bought 2 of these for my soon-to-be powder room and master bath. I had one just like it but you stepped on the foot handle to open it. These are only $5 more than those! And they work just as they should. For those reviewers who said that the lid closes too quickly, you didn't read and follow the instructions that came with it. The lid stays open for as long as your hand is there. THEN the lid slowly closes. The only thing bad I can say about it is that it is difficult and awkward to put the batteries in it. The battery compartment is on the bottom of the inside; it should be on the bottom of the outside. Other than that, these are awesome, and they're gonna update my new bathrooms perfectly!

I ordered four of this trash can for our bathrooms. The dog would eat the trash if we didn't have covered cans. They work well. The one in our bathroom is in a tight spot, and generally opens when you are going to the bathroom. It doesn't bother me that much, but it might drive some folks bonkers. I like them much better than the step can.

As far as garbage cans go, this one is pretty slick. I really like the motion sensor, though it can be tricky sometimes. I have not had any problems with accidental openings, even though it's pretty much right in front of where I stand at the sink. It actually works by being STILL, not by motion, by sensing something in the "field of view" of the sensor. That's how it does not open by doors opening, or walking in front of it, etc... You actually have to hold your hand (or foot) STILL in front of it. I have found the sensor really only works with something about 3-4 inches from the sensor, but that's fine. I usually hold my foot by it to open it, so it's not a big deal to be "that" close to the sensor. The only downsides are that the can is pretty small (1.3G fills up really fast), and the CLANG it makes when it closes. I fixed that by putting a small piece of sticky foam tape by the rim. Also, it really doesn't stay open most of the time if I'm fiddling to throw something away, such as floss. You pretty much get one shot to throw something away (lid stays open probably 3 seconds, not 6 like the manual says). But overall this is a nice can and is soooooooooo much better than the old foot pedal one we had, and way better than an open garbage where I can see my used q-tips and kleenex.
