I picked this up at the local supercenter to replace one I bought from Costco about 4 years ago. Same brand and described as similar. Well, I would conclude that Walmart is to Costco what Walmart is to Nordstroms. Poorly made, and returned it the same day, Enough said.

I regret purchasing this trash can. It only opens half of the time, and I have to constantly turn it on and off to get it to function properly. Also, it's supposed to be convenient to put the band on the garbage bag and keep the bag hidden, but it makes no sense. If it's not showing, it's slipping into the can. So long story short, highly unrecommended. Low quality, bad design, and mechanical errors.

Purchased this item from our local Walmart 3 months ago. All of the sudden the lid stopped working just like all of the reviews said. UGH, can't believe I still purchased this! I have replaced batteries, called customer service. It is so difficult to return a piece of garbage after 30 days of purchase. This item is the garbage that it is supposed to be containing. I thought this was the perfect item for our needs but the product just doesn't last. The battery containment is very thin plastic. Very cheap feel to the light weight item. The stickers on the outside of the bin are a nice touch but that's not where people are looking when tossing something in. The motor is loud. The rings are difficult to take in and out each time. Smell is not locked out with this. If liquid comes through your garbage bag, it leaks on the floor. The containers are NOT liquid tight.

sadly, I don't have an overall positive review. I really really wished I had! if the company told me its just this particular one acting up, that would make my day and get another. i even kept it w/o complaint tho it came with a dent in top, cuz i really wanted this!!!! but it's not even a month gone by and this doesn't workanymore. it would open wen I walked passed 2throw laundry in washer, yet for actually tossing in the trash, nothing! won t open, my husband is laughing at me said it would only open when I dressed up. buy a US made rubbermaid or other brand plastic step bin, cheaper and always worked.

I've only had mine for about 2 months and the lid won't open anymore. I can hear the motor trying to open and the light flashes as usual but it doesn't open by itself anymore. Where can I buy a replacement sensor lid? I've been looking everywhere for it! I just want it replaced

Became an annoyance after a month. Doesn't open quick enough, opens Everytime someone walks by, sometimes won't open or just stays open. Keeping the bag up and over the rim as well as getting the top on easily is aggravating. Wish I could return. I won't buy again or recommend.

I am annoyed because the can didn't work properly. I changed my order to get one from Amazon because i could get it sooner. The other one was suppose to come by the end of this month. Now I don't have a garbage can for my kitchen . I had thrown out my old one . I am so upset

I would never go as far to call anyone a liar, and I am also sure that many of these complaints are legit. I just wonder how many are due to human error or a bit of embellishment? Besides, if the lid (as many say, didn’t work at all, or quit within a few days...there is such thing as a refund). Seriously though, I really do not quite care. I only mentioned it because I almost shied away from it myself before purchasing one 5 months ago. Additionally, I am sure countless others have done so entirely. I have no complaints whatsoever and it works like a charm. Now there are a number of factors that could make a HIGE difference on the can’s overall functionality: size of family; kids?; primary trash can; location; batteries (brand, expiration date and again, location). If any of the above would apply to you, especially the first three — my advice to any potential buyer would be too perhaps, shy away from any electrical garbage can under $200. I mean, if this lid is being triggered 100 times a day...I’d say, even 20 times a day, who would expect that to last long. Remember, it’s a $60 trash can; not a $600 one. Lastly. There is a button on the underside of the top which allows it to be used without electricity. Honestly, if having to lift a pinky to allow an non-electrical, yet still, hinged door to toss aside a few items is too difficult of a process, try looking into getting a maid instead.

This trash can doesn’t hold up and not worth the money. The design with the extra piece to hold the bag in is an okay idea but not for a busy family the way it’s designed it can easily be included in the trash bag and throw Ed out which happened to mine. Then the lid cracked so t doesn’t open all the way now so may as well not be an automatic open trash can. I do not recommend this can at all.

I got this as agift. They arrived well packaged. The motion works well, a little too sensitive for walk by motion, but responsive. I find I need to turn it off when I am using it frequently for disposing of food cuttings etc. I don't like the location of the on /off switch. It is under the inside of the lid, which is dirty and inconvenient. The size of the lid opening of the large 50L-13g can is smaller than my previous version. I prefer a larger opening to keep from plate scrapings falling on the edges. I don't know how long the batteries last or the sensor will function. It's only been 2 weeks.
