I bought this trash can about a week ago. Just wave your hand it opens and seconds later it closes. The only drawback is I have to buy larger trash bags 13 gal bags are way too small, but by the time it's full it's time to empty the other smaller trash cans in the house so the larger bag is perfect.

I love everything about this trash can! Love the size and the sensors are dead on. If you need to take longer than the average time (to scrape something in or whatever) as long as you are right above the sensor it stays open until you move. It also has a button you can hit to make it stay open longer. Operates on D batteries which has been lasting quite awhile now. Would highly recommend!

Battery operated, large opening, beautiful brushed stainless steel exterior, and works as described. I replaced my 13gal plastic, manually operated flippy -lid trashcan for this winner. The capacity is 26 gallons. I read a few reviews that indicated the cost for 26gal trashbags were costly & hard to find. Recommended 30gal instead...I took their advice and very happy that I did. Once the filled bag is removed I add trash from smaller bins around the house and make one trip to the container outside! Double capacity, quiet automated functions, conceals odors when lid is closed, looks fantastic w/other stainless steel appliances and a terrific value (and warranty!). Get one already!

The one I recently bought is my second one in about three years...I love this trash can...it opens and closes without touching it...remains open long enough to rid your hands of the garbage...large enough to handle a good deal of trash...my first is still working...just moved it to the garage after much use

I was worried about how responsive this would be, but the lid opens quickly once you trigger the sensor. Be aware that this item won't work well in tight spaces where walking too close to it will accidentally trigger the sensor. The sensor area is small and above the can, but if you walk too close to the front of it then your arm might trigger the sensor.

Awesome trashcan holds so much more kitchen trash with fewer changes than the 13 gallon. You never have to touch the can only when changing the trash bags. Also the trash bags are located with the trash cans in Walmart not with regular trash bag section.

It's a great addition to our kitchen. It's bigger than i thought it would be, our plastic trash can will fit down inside of it perfectly and since I just bought a slew of trash bags we will be doing that for quite some time! It's beautiful and works great!

My favorite thing bout this can is that it is soooo large. The oval shape makes the bag really easy to get out, no more fighting and tearing bags. Only had it about 2 weeks and the old already seems like it wants to stop working, which sycks but the large size makes up for it.

Awesome! We used to have a smaller (13 gallon) one before for years before it quit working. We upgraded to this one and immediately noticed how much space we had. Instead of taking the trash out once or twice daily with our family of four (plus our guests), we can go up to a week without having to empty it. Tons of trash storage, we love it!

I bought this trash can because it is more sanitary than other trash cans. My last purchase was a step trash can and the step broke a few years ago so we have been raising it manually. The only disappointment was trying to find bags to fit this size. The simply human X fit but with a little struggle to fit over the edge. Overall this purchase was a good selection for me and my family!
