Bought this item simply because of the fact that I wouldn't have to touch the trash can for it to open. Got it home, installed the batteries, waved my hand and it DID NOT open. The open/close button works only if the switch is powered on. The trash can has to be directly under bright light for the sensor to pick up motion. I have a brightly lightened kitchen but unless I want the trash can to sit directly in the middle of the floor, I will continue to use the manual open/close button. Other than that, it looks great.

I ordered this online as no stores near me carried it. It arrived in the 5 days promised in its factory packaging. When I opened it the side was dented, so I popped it out but it left a couple of noticable creases. The instructions say not to return it to WalMart but to call the manufacturer. I have called and called and called, left messages after messages. I havent heard a word........

The first batteries ran down within 2 weeks. The automatic lid feature doesn't always work. Not satisfied at all with this part, but the look is nice and it seems to be durable. Would not purchase again. Return cannot be done through Walmart. Price is good but not worth it.

I really like this trashcan for the price. Yes, sometimes its delayed or slow on 'seeing you' & the lid does not open as quickly as I would like. But since I only paid $50, I can live with the results. It could improve on the speed of recognizing your presence. Sometimes the door gets stuck in the open position & hitting the 'close' button manually is good enough for me to fix it.

Hi. I have purchased high range trash bins. I have one that was $200 that came from Williams and Sonoma. I have also purchased some mid-level trash containers - such as the iTouchless. I prefer the Touchless; just nicer. This trash can surpasses the iTouchless. I do not prefer black appliances or trash bins. I bought this one because it was on sale (Thank you!!) and had all the features I liked. Turns out I REALLY like it!! It sturdy, sensitive, and very nice. I recommend buying it!! Thank you.

I love these garbage cans. I bought another one of these by Nine Stars and loved it so much, I bought the set that includes two more. I would have given 5 stars but my larger garbage can came with a big dent in it and I didn't want to send it back because it was already a day late with delivery. That is Walmart's carrier's fault, not Nine Stars. I'd recommend these garbage cans. I find myself wanting to throw things away just to play with it lol. In addition, the batteries last what seems like forever. The last garbage can I bought by Nine Stars I've had for 6 months and it's still running on the same batteries. Good Purchase!

Just hold something above the sensor just out of the way of the lid, and it opens after about three quarters of a second. Takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it, it works every time. Wish they had a smaller version that allows me to open the drawers behind it, and so we could clear it every day without wasting larger bags. That would also help minimize decomposing trash inside the bin. Great value as I got it on sale, paired with the soap dispenser, under forty bucks combined.

I love it looks great and the sensor works almost to well. My only complaint is that it should have come with batteries already. It requires 2 different size batteries C and D and I don't usually have those laying around so I had to go out an buy them.

For the price this is a good product. My kids love it and anything that gets them to throw away their trash is fine by me! So far everything has worked fine. I can tell that the batteries will not last too long. It is not the most sturdy can I have ever seen, but is adequate. The soap dispenser works fine too-also getting the kids to wash hands! It needs some weight in the bottom. So I will keep it filled and that should work.

I love both of my Nine Stars automatic opening trash cans. Not only are they pretty enough for company (a must for my husband's family# but they work remarkably well. Now when my hands are messy, I don't have to touch the waste can on the kitchen counter to put in anything so I don't have to wash my hands again so soon. #I wash my hands constantly while cooking and any time I don't have to is a great help). I keep the bigger can in the utility room and again, not having to touch the can is a life-saver because I can hold the lint trap from the dryer in one hand and drop the lint with the other. So, in all, I love these cans because they're pretty, they function wonderfully and I don't have to listen to 'anybody' complain that they know trash exists, they just don't want to look at it.
