It works for me. No one has to touch it. You just wave your hand over the sensor and it opens sometime and sometimes it does not depending on the lighting where the item is located. The small can takes the bigger batteries (D) while the larger can takes the smaller batteries (C).

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.

Awesome. You wouldnt necessary think that a garbage can that will change the dynamics of your kitchen. This one does. I live in deep south Texas and we are still having 96 degree weather. The bugs dont like the heat any better that I do, surrounding the garbage can really be disgusting especially as it fills up. This kitchen can is very large, I was pleasantly surprised at the size. This can is not a cheapy looking can, the bags are 13 gallon The brushed silver is the same as my Frigidaier appliances. The lid opens as you put your hand on top of the can. It stays open plenty of time to scrap off the dishes. The lid closes tighly securing the trash from any smells and any bugs can not get into. I am very pleased. Excellent product.

Love them! Recently a delivery man commented (after throwing away some paper) that his $200 touchless trash can was much slower opening up, and he was even more surprised when I told him the awesome price I paid. Both cans are sleek and stylish too. Oh yea... did I tell you I LOVE my new trash cans!!

Perfect for my family members who get the heebee jeebies just thinking about coming close to a germ! Works as expected - wave your hand over the tall one, or even a knee above the sensor for the short one. They open quickly. Standard trash bags work, so you can keep using what you already have. An interior can IS included! Of note, can't keep little one next to pedastool sink or toilet. Their closeness activates the lid to open and it won't close. Just move to other wall..

I really like the trash can & it's sensor opening. Great when your hands are full & you don't want to press a button. You do have to think about the location you want to put it in. My husband and son set the sensor off quite frequently when not needed. We had family and friends over soon after getting the trash can & everyone was "impressed and amazed" by it! It looks nice also, much better than the old, dirty can we had before.

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.

I bought the larger trash can from Costco about eight years ago for about $50. We love it and we have not had to replace anything but the batteries. My family liked it so much they all bought one. The 13 gallon bags fits nicely and it is slim enough not to be intrusive. When the average stainless steel can cost $50 and above why not by this one and not have to touch the can. For me this was a great buy!

This product is a little pricy for two trash cans but it's worth it. We were moving when we bought these trash cans and with most moves comes lots of trash. It was nice to not have to fumble with a trash can lid. Now that we are moved in, it comes in handy when I am cooking or trying to get ready to take out the trash. The only negative I can think of is that because the little trash can has a removable bin, it doesn't hold a trash bag very well.

I love these bins. Even in a small, cottage-type kitchen of WW2 vintage-era, they are nicely-rounded, not square-edged, it's a small deal for some, but I have MS. I find that point invaluable, one more thing I need, but won't bump against and bruise! Square edged bins have sharp and unforgiving corners. In every other way, these are super sleek, the lid operation is so handy, and remains undisturbed by normal foot traffic. A bonus was the fwo=fer. Great deal, happy camper!
