The concept itself is great. I love the hands free aspect. However, the battery cover is a huge issue with this product. It falls off very easily and it is fragil after months of use, I'm trying to use duct tape to hold my batteries in place! From the other reviews, I'm not the only one looking for a replacement battery cover. Who knew how convenient this would be!? No more messy trash can lid. Plus, guests think I'm super fancy with my automated trash can.

Loved this trash can for the first month or so. I didn't know how I had lived without the deodorizing feature since I have a 1 year old with smelly diapers. Then the sensor just stopped working. I thought it was the cord, so I put batteries in it. Still didn't work, so I bought a new cord. Now it works about 50% of the time. At least the lid still stays tightly closed to keep the smell in, but I would really love for it to open when I have something to throw in there. Pretty expensive trash can for me to have it only about 3 months, and now I'm already looking for another option.

5/10/22 Update: 8 months later. Lid does not close completely on the can anymore. It goes down then pops up about an inch. This is a major disappointment. I hope this does not become a problem with the others we have purchased. Leaving one star because the smaller can is still functioning currently; otherwise, would be a one or zero as it no longer functions as described. I trash can lid should close completely for all of the obvious reasons. Original review: Works as described. Durable. No issues. Have four NineStars cans now. Even gifted one, if that means anything. Have four so same review for both. Good product.

The lid on this trash can will not consistently work! The company will work with you through the original date of purchase only even if they have sent a brand new lid that once again quit working. Don't bother! You will end up buying a new trash can every year with this product. I will never buy another product from Nine Stars again.

When I first received the cans they worked great. Now 3 months later and the tall kitchen can is no longer automatically opening when I wave my hand over it. I have to push open and close to operate. It also does not close completely. Very disappointed and need to return it.

This product is nice to have but not necessary honestly. After I bought it I realized it's kind of not worth the money. A regular step trash can is just as good. Pros- It's easy to clean, I like the material it's made out of, and my dog can't really get into it. Cons- battery powered so you have to purchase batteries.

The trash can supposed to be designed to be easy to clean, but the "Gold" color did not age well, and really feel it getting darker and darker every day, not sure if it is my aging eye, and my wife felt the same as well, so it must be the quality of the finish, got to return this and get a stainless steel one instead.

This motion sensor trash can came with a nice and solid packaging, and nice little surprise with trash bags samples. I bought this trash can because this brand is top rated under Best Touchless Trash Can - Top 5 Pick. This trash can design is simple and easy to use. Gold stainless finishing color fits perfectly with my kitchen. Motion sensor function is smoothly and working well so far. A great option for a house warming gift!

Producted worked fine for 3-4 months. After 1st battery chance it was slow even after swapping with brandenew batteries.Then it just stopped working. I could hear the mechanics working but it just wouldn't open. Ninestar promised to ship a new lid due to warranty and here I am 4months later, still no lid. I have thrown this out and do not recommend.

My bad luck I would purchase a defective or non working one, the sensor is so off, and it opens and close on its own, when you put your hand over it it doesn't open wide enough and when it close it do not have a softer swing, very loud, I hope the review helps who want to purchase one, and test it thoroughly at the store.
