Sounds silly to review a trash can but we have really enjoyed it so far. Our old step on trash can finally bit the dust but that one would open too fast and bang on the edge of the counter. This lid opens quietly long enough to put trash in and then closes quietly on its owe. I only hope it lasts as long as some of the reviews indicated.

We needed something 'dressy' for our kitchen since the receptacle would be in full view. This product meets that requirement. It can be sensitive sometimes and will open when not needed. The opening is not as big as needed sometimes. All in all a decent product. Durability? time will tell.

I've had mine for about 2 months now. It works as advertised. It's very responsive but not overly sensitive. The stainless steel can is a bit "thin" compared to other manual canisters however, for the price and the functions it's an overall great product and I have no complaints. Oddly enough it's become somewhat of a conversation piece!

Great look, great shape and size. Operates very quickly and smoothly. Just sensitive enough to detect a hand close without opening every time we walk by. I use it just inside the garage for stinky trash - man, that thing stinks when it opens, which is to say that it really holds it in! All I wanted was a tight-lid stainless can, and these automatic ones are $20 cheaper! Go figure. BTW, I wrap the bag in, over, outside and then below the ring; so I'm not sure what folks are doing to make them lose their rings - it's impossible to throw away the way I do it.

The lid failed to open after 18 months. Nine Stars would offer no assistance, except a replacement lid starting at $30 plus shipping. Other sites list the price at $45. The company says the lid "will open and close nearly 10,000 times before requiring battery replacement." Maybe, but not before requiring lid replacement. So why would we pour more money into another lid when this one failed so quickly? We won't.

This garbage can matches my stainless appliances wonderfully, it's sleek and doesn't SCREAM, "Here's the garbage"! I love the motion sensor feature-it really is the greatest feature! The other great thing about this garbage can is that it is 13 gal. For a family of 4-it works for us! Enough said about my can---get one, you'll love it!

I received this trash can as a gift 5+ years ago! I loved it so much....I've bought one for my mom, aunt, cousin, etc. I've not a had one problem and would strongly recommend it to anyone. I just ordered another one for another aunt. Very sleek and clean looking....well worth the money! So glad Walmart is selling this brand.

A lot of reviews are lame, and I end up ignoring most. An example: " The battery cover broke when I pulled really hard" One review read "the metal is REALLY flimsy". It indeed was. When I pulled it out of the box there was a dent on the can. I pushed it back out with my thumb and realized it would not be practical for our kitchen. I'm sure anything more than a bump would cause a dent. The store took it back even though I purchased it on line. I gave it a try but VERY flimsy metal.

I purchased this to replace the tiny, frustrating diaper genie in my baby boy's room. It's perfect! It's slim, so it fits in the snug spot the diaper genie was in. It's a 13 gallon trash can, so it can hold as much as a regular trash can could. Plus, it's automatic, so all I have to do is put my hand over the sensor or stand in front of the can and it opens up. The automatic lid is very responsive and also comes with the option to open or close with the push of a button. There is also a shutoff switch. I have no complaints or regrets. So far, this is a great purchase at a decent price. Definitely recommend.

We've had this garbage can for around a year and the open button has worn off and the lid is stuck in the open position. The sensor no longer works and the lid will not close. I'm very disappointed in the product, especially considering the high cost. We'll be going back to a foot pedal.
