I love everything about this trash can! Since I bought it a couple of months ago I haven’t had to clean it once! Also, more trash can fit into each bag since the seal that holds bag in place is so good! You really get the most out of every bag! The only thing that I don’t like is how touchy the sensors are. Every time we walk past the kitchen can it opens and closes but I still haven’t had to replace the batteries at least. It can be annoying tho, which is why I didn’t give it the full 5 stars.

Terrible choice

This was the most disappointing purchase I have ever made from Sam’s. It took over one month to receive. I didn’t get any updates, but instead I had to call several times and didn’t ever really get an answer. Finally it shipped and was even more disappointed! Opening for the tall kitchen can is small, there is no insert bucket, you have to get creative in order for the top of the bag to not show. The small can is ugly and operates poorly. Very unhappy with this purchase. It uses “C” and “D” batteries, which aren’t as common in a household. Don’t buy it!

    These work great and are so convenient! However, I was extremely displeased with the packaging as we received the larger can with a large dent in the side. Having recently moved and been under a lot of stress, i was gong to simple return the cans to Walmart and say, "forget it." However, my fiance pushed the dent out so it's now hardly noticeable. The cans work great. We use the larger in our kitchen and the smaller in our bathroom. I like them because our dog cannot help herslef to the trash and who can complain about hands free....

    Short Duration

    initially it appeared to be great but after a year and a half the touchless garbage bin could only open half of the way. After two years it requires you to open the lid yourself. It appears that it only lasts about two years even after changing the batteries.

    Two for the price of one! Nice cans; great value!

    Nice kitchen trash can that is just the right size to fill a 13 gal trash bag. It’s so nice not to have to touch the lid. The sensor won’t close on your hand if it takes you longer shoving something in better. This can is the same price or less as others it’s size but come with a free small sensor trash can that we use in our office. The large one comes with a switch to turn the sensor off and on. So if you go away a few weeks you can save your batteries. Large can takes C size and small takes D size.

    Poor Customer Loyalty

    I bought this November of last year, so it is still within warranty. After several failed attempts in reaching someone via email, I began calling customer service but only got to the voicemail. It has proven to be a struggle trying to get help in order to resolve this issue. I provided the information that was requested of me, after which, I could not seem to get any further assistance. I sent emails on 8/1, 8/7, 8/13, 8/20, 8/23 & 8/26. I received troubleshooting instructions which did not work, so I received another email advising to provide the following, along with proof of purchase in order to have my lid replaced, which is still under warranty by the way: -Full Name -Phone Number -Complete Address -Unit's Model Number ...

    2 for 1 Great Value

    Love it!! Fits perfectly at the end of our cabinets. Looks great with our stainless appliances. It does take a few seconds for it to open once it detects the motion, took a little bit to get use to. You can easily hide the bag and love the "open" feature when I am cooking. Still have the original batteries in and it has been several months. I didn't need the small one so I sold it on Ebay for a great price, extra bonus.

    This is a superb item to have in any kitchen. This is my fourth one.(not because of material failure.) They were misused. One I put in my garage.(cosmetics) (My bad judgement) All I have to do is repaint the lid and it will be in tip top shape. I'm thinking of having one shipped to my brother. BOTTOM LINE........I'M TOTALLY SATISFIED.

    I was amazed at the quality and the price!!

    We had been looking for a while at different automatic cans that were silver, sleek, no messy bag hanging outside the can and not a big eyesore. Still amazed at the quality and the great price. The C and D batteries are great price wise compared to others that used aa batteries with short use time. Glad I came across these!!

    BEST BUY EVER!!!

    I bought these 6 months ago for my apartment - the large one is perfect size for kitchen and smaller for the bathroom. Both are still in great working condition!!! They seem to be quite energy-efficient too because I haven't needed to replace the batteries yet. I would recommend for anyone!! They are very nice quality and look much more expensive than they are... so that can be our little secret... You're welcome!!

    After having for roughly two months, the small bathroom trash can, has started to rust along the front, from steamy shower. 3 weeks ago the lifting part of the lid broke. While I was wiping it down. Seems like ok quality. When recieved In the long run. Its crappy and pointless purchase. Now I am on the hunt for a new set

    A Treasure for Trash

    We recently purchased our 2nd Nine Stars 13 gallon trash can to have one on both floors our home. The stainless steel construction is sturdy, looks good, and cleans up easily. The touchless automatic lid opening and closing feature is both practical and fun. The tight sealing lid locks in unpleasant odors. We get about 6-9 months use from a set of batteries. This was a great value from Walmart with the additional 2 gallon trash can ordered on site to store.

    Best trash cans EVER!

    These trash cans are so convenient, easy to use and a cinch to set up (simply pop in the batteries). Never have to get my hands dirty again, not even when I change out the trash bags. Everyone that comes over (even the grownups) are amazed and play with these cans all day. All my family and friends want to get a set.

    Terrible Customer Service

    This product was good for about 5 months. Then the lid began to malfunction, constantly opening without any inputs. After communicating with Nine Stars for about a month, I returned the lid at my own expense. They cannot be reached by email or phone and have not even returned my defective lid. Stay away from this company and their products.

    The light ALWAYS blinks

    Looks nice, although the brand name label on the small can is relatively huge. However: the status light on the lid of the 13-gallon can blinks continuously to let you know that everything is okay. Ordered it online, picked it up, brought it home, put batteries in it (which was easy), said "huh", verified in the enclosed documents that the blinking is normal, removed the batteries, and repackaged it. Will be returning tomorrow morning. I didn't even take it completely out of the plastic bag.

    love these trash cans

    I love these trash cans lol. I was tired of the plastic ones with the top that doesn't want to lift always and you end up touching and fussing with it. Not to mention the plastic one wasn't exactly 13 gallons and I felt like I was wasting trash bags. Not n e more with these cuties. I know now that whenever its time to empty the trash can that the bag is truly full. These keep the odor down... great thing cuz my place is very small and space is limited. Now visitors r impressed and not thrown off by garbage odor. FYI: the bigger can takes 3 C batteries I think and the small one takes 3 D batteries. I'm using cheap dollar store batteries and Im impressed by how long they last. I havent changed the batteries since I've owned the product and it...

    Very Sensitive!

    These are attractive and seem to work good. They are VERY sensitive, almost too sensitive. I was disappointed as I planned to use the small can under my sink but the lid remains activated and won't close. Plan on at least 6-8 inches of space above the can for it to work properly.

    Awesome combo!

    I bought this set intending initially to simply replace the plastic can in my kitchen, but I was so glad to find the set. The large one is tall enough to allow you to fill up the bag completely and it has an inner ring that keeps the bag aligned and up. It should be noted that each can uses a different size battery. I had made the assumption that they both used "D", but am quite happy. I purchased mine about 2.5 months ago and I'm still on the first set of batteries. The small can is a great size for a bathroom. Mine is triggered by my dogs quite often as they walk by, but they are slowly getting used to it. I'd buy this set again and encourage my friends to as well.

    What a great deal. For $49.99 I expected just the large stainless steel trash can. I wasn't reading the whole add, just happy for that price. But when I got the package I was surprised that it came with a small one too. On top of it the lids are motion sensored. What a deal.... Since most large stainless steel trash cans are $80 and up.

    ALERT Think twice

    The auto-closing lid would not respond, it will NOT open or close (the small can) Bertha, Customer Service at Nine Stars said, "Take out the batteries for a minimum of 24 hours, no less, and then try again." I did the three, it still will not work Bertha C/S said have 2 options. 1.) You can send in the product for a replacement -- AT YOUR EXPENSE FOR SHIPPING 2.) You can return it to the vendor and either get a refund or order a replacement. POOR.... product, that this product, and the company's return policy is literally GARBAGE. DON''T BUT IT.....

    great trash can! Best Price Too!

    After visiting numerous sites to find a stainless trash can for my home this was the best deal of all for the exact same thing ( large trash can and small one to go with). It works beautifully, no problems yet. It took a while to arrive but it was probably because I ordered it very close to Xmas. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

    Lots of Compliments

    Easy to clean. Looks great in the kitchen. Battery lasts a long time. I always get compliments on how great it looks. The only con is you have to be very close enough to the sensor or just press the button, but not a big deal. Had it for over a year. Changed battery only twice.
