This trash can is the second one of this type that I've purchased. I never realized how many times I go to throw something away where I'm unable to open the lid because my hands are dirty or full with several items. Having the lid open and close automatically is so helpful.

The can itself is ok but the company (nine star) is horrible. Had the can for two months and the cover that holds the batteries in fell off into the trash. (odd design to put the batteries facing down into a trash can). Contacted company as it seems to be some sort of defect and they wanted no part of helping me. In fact after looking further into it the part itself is back ordered due to the ongoing issue. I contacted them a second time with the same results. Just ended up purchasing a different trash can in the end... There two many companies that look out for their customers to argue over a $5.00 part!! Look at other reviews on line, same issues.

We needed this for an event and it arrived just a day before so we didn't really look it over or test it. A few days later I can say it only works intermittently and it arrived with surface scratches on the top which affected how nice it looked. The most annoying part is it may or may not open when it should. We'll probably return and try another.

I purchased this trash can ensemble to replace one that stopped working after 5 years. I love these automatic trash cans. They look so nice in the kitchen. They are conversation pieces when friends and family visit. I hope this one lasts as long as the last one.

The design of this hands free trash can is much better than our previous model. The rectangular opening is much larger and easier to use. The overall look is better too. We really just needed the large kitchen trash can, but the bonus smaller can has come in handy too. I highly recommend this product!

I received this as a Christmas gift & I love it. The hands free makes throwing things away while cooking so easy. With my old trash can which had a rotating top I still took the top off before I started cooking & it was always in someone's way. I put batteries in it when I got it & haven't had to change them in 3 months. FYI the small can takes D batteries & the big can takes Cs. When I purchased online the listing said only Ds.

These trash cans are great. We have had them for almost 20 years with no problems. I like not having to touch the can while I’m in the kitchen. Worth the investment. So we added to our collection. We were so excited to find the same brand, and the exact cans that we already had. Great product!

I just bought a new home and needed something more sophicated to go with the new decor. This met that criteria. It looks & works great. The automatic opening Catches people pleasantly off guard. I feel it was a smart buy. I have one against the wall in the Kitchen & the other in the laundry room.

Kind of expensive for a trash and we haven't really had a place for the little trash since it is very small. I am happy with the product though. It looks great, however many people that visit have no idea how to use it and they try to grab the tiny handle and open it, it gives us a good laugh every time. The batteries seem to last forever. We got it because my son would throw his toys away in the "open" trash, now he doesn't ever throw anything away. It is pretty quiet and easy to dump. It does hold any smells in so when the lid opens it kind of blows it into the air.... all the reason to dump the trash!

My son has two Jack Russells that are so smart, they have manage to get into the trash cans with lids. We are talking every type of lids, even the type you step on. TEAM WORK. He has had these for overa month now. The dogs don't both either of them ,the 2 gallon one they could open but They run at the sound. I want a set for myself. No smell and nice looking.
