2 for the price of 1

2 for the price of 1. What could be better? It's nice not to have to reach for the lid when you have your hands full of garbage; just get close and the lid will open. Requires c-cell batteries to operate.

Trash cans do not match!

The original picture showed the cans were matching...this picture does show that the cans are different. The small cans lid is open so you can’t see the top which is completely different from the large can.

You’re Going to Like These

We purchased similar trash cans from Sam’s 10 years ago. The new ones, are sleeker and seem to work a little better; however, we liked the older model just fine. Very happy with our purchase.

Sensitivity is a little much.

Love these trash cans however the kitchen size it a little too sensitive. Just walking past makes the sensor open the lid. I've gotten used to it but it could definitely annoy others.

Nice trash cans

These are pretty nice trashcans. I really like the big one, I find the small one to be really loud for its size but it works so can't complain too much. I'm glad I bought them.

Lid stops working

The lid to the big trash can will consistently turn off and stop working. The whole purpose of buying a trash can with a lid that opens with motion is because you don't want to have to touch the trash can period. Having to push the button after each use defeats the purpose of even having this trash can. Not worth my money considering it broke after a couple of months.

reply from Nine Stars

We’re really sorry to hear the lid is not functioning consistently, as reliable hands free operation is exactly what the product is designed to provide. Our motion sensor technology is tested to support hygienic, touch free use, so this is certainly not the experience we want you to have. It may be a technical issue that we can quickly troubleshoot or resolve for you. Please email us at info&#64;ninestarsusa.com with a few details about your unit, and our team will be happy to assist and work toward a solution.

Trouble from the star dead in 6 months

Quiver would barely lift the first week of use. Tried a different brand of battery, that seemed to help. Now nothing seems to help. The cover won't lift even with fresh batteries. On the rare occasion it functioned "normally" it was nice but that happened so rarely I can't recommend it.

Quit opening

The larger lid quit opening, it only opens if you push the open button & only closes if you push the close button! Batteries are fine. Found online info to remove batteries for several hours to reset. Auto open/close worked for a day or two, then back to buttons. Removed batteries again, only auto open/close once or twice. Very irritating, company doesn't sell part, only entire lid for $35-40! Loved it when it worked!

Disappointed...!

Nine-Stars USED to be a better quality a few years ago...I've owned 4 such cans over the past 5 years; and for the last 3 years, the quality and craftsmanship of their garbage can has deteriorated to nothing but "Garbage"...and Yes, absolutely, the pun is INTENDED. After about 6-months of usage the sensor to open/close the lid wore off, the battery compartment's design is such that the cheap quality of plastic lid fails to hold the weight of three C-batteries (used to be 'D' batteries in the older version of these trash cans) needed to operate the lid, and thus the batteries along with it cover lid tends to fall in the trash can; and if not aware or careful when changing the garbage bag, they will be lost in the trash. If the battery compartment is intact, the lid goes "crazy" and become temperamental after a while and starts flipping Open/Close on its own randomly all through the day...obviously draining the batteries and in the process "scares" people/guests, especially, in the middle of night. This anomaly also tends to wear off the lid's gear used for opening/closing it, as it is made out of cheap plastic; as well as the hinges that hold the lid. I've never had better than 1-year's of decent use of these trash cans; after that, it is a pain and needs to be replaced often at about $80 a pop. Nine Stars does offer replacement lids and other accessories, however, they are quite expensive. And mind you, this is very objectively written review without any bias and completely based on normal day-to-day usage. I just ordered a competition brand of manual step-on can over Black Friday, 2015. In a nutshell, Buyer beware... based on my last few years of experience. Just my honest 2 cents.

Lasted the Warranty period and 10 days

I purchased this October 26, 2020 and in the beginning of November the lid quit working properly. I wish I had noticed it in late October for I would have returned it or asked for help under the 1 year warranty. I loved it while it lasted but at this point it is just not good. New batteries didn't help. It's unfortunate because I really liked the way it worked. Now it barely opens a few inches and I have to touch it to close it.
