Costco sells a similar one for about the same price, but it is 30 gallon. That sounds like a "deal," but it is so big it crowds out the kitchen, and, it holds so much (the 30 gallon one) that it sits there extra days, and smells up the room. The 13 gallon one is better! Also, when you get it, there is a black plastic ring that sits on top of the can before putting the electric opener on top of it. I didn't see where it says this, but, put the bag in the can hanging about 3 inches over the edge, THEN the black ring on the can. Pull the bag overhang back INTO the bag, then put the top on. It ENTIRELY HIDES the top edge of the bag! No "sloppy shirt-tail" look from a bag hanging out on the can. This makes your kitchen look much neater! Yep! Get the Walmart one, not the Costco one that is too big.

I had this model for 3 years. I took out the very reasonable 3 year extended warranty and got my money back when it died. This can is very well made and I expect this can to last at least 5 years. I can toss in a dripping coffee filter just by waving my elbows so this can is the only trash can type I ever plan on using.

I absolutely love this can as does my husband. I keep it right beside my workstation in the kitchen and it's great to be able to throw things away as I go without having to walk around and tramp on a lever or pull up a lid. I would recommend it to anyone!!

I've had a couple of the smaller motion sensor trash cans from nine stars for a while and have been happy with those. Not surprised this is a great larger trash can. Battery life on all of them are pretty good (have not had to change out batteries on smaller cans yet and it's been more than a year).

I replaced an older version of this trash can that I had for at least 7 years. Yes, that long! I have no complaints if this replacement lasts half as long as the older version. It's very quiet when it opens. It's a minor issue with it opening when you pass too close to it! As you can see by the photos the passage way is not very wide where I have it placed. It only opens occasionally and like I mentioned it's very quiet. Another plus is it looks great with my other stainless appliances. The price is very competitive compared to similar models. I can only speak for the battery life I experienced with the older version and it was adequate. If this newer version fails to meet my expectations I will update my review but at this time I am very pleased with this purchase.

I'm loving my new trash can I have been waiting for this to go on sale for years and finally got it and it was truly worth the wait. I notice in the reviews one minor drawback if you get too close to the trash can like opening the cabinet or the drawer it will automatically open up but it's not a big deal I love it recommended to my girlfriend and now she's getting ready to purchase it.

l saw one of these in a classroom at a very new hotel. Me and my fellow female classmate thought it was awesome! No touchy, touchy. Just hold your hand over the light and it politely opens and then shuts after a few seconds. I kept going back to the coffee station just so I could play with the trash can. I know, sounds stupid and crazy but I was really impressed and told everyone I was going to get one for home ASAP. The guys seemed less impressed and said they would be happy with a trash can with "no lid" and a quick toss. Sorry, I don't want to see my garbage. Got mine from Walmart at a good price. Delivery was quick! No assembly. Just put a "C" battery in the lid and a bag in the bin and it's ready to go. I could have gotten the plug in one, but opted for the battery operated. So far it's working great! Holds a lot too. Love it!

I've had three of these and that should tell you something; I like them and they don't last forever, maybe four years. This one is a duplicate of the old one which stopped retracting after opening. I disassembled it and found nothing obviously wrong. Moved all the connections and reassembled it. Worked again for one day. Bought new one. If you can stand one that is a teeny bit smaller, Costco has it now (7/29/14) for $50 + tax.

This is our second can. First can died after 8 years. Missed it so much that we ordered a replacement from Walmart. It was quick shipping to store and the best price we found.. It is a real convenience in the kitchen. Hands free. Uses the standard 13 gallon bag. But we found that Nine Stars also sells a lid only, LID9, so now we have two!

When we got it the lid was very small to put garbage in. The cover for holding the batteries fell off instantly after the first use. The batteries came out into the garbage and so did the cover. We had no idea until after garbage man already came and took the bag away. So now holding new batteries in with tape and they don't stay well. Trash can very easy to get messy since lif so small. The motion sensor to open lid is cool, but not worth buying this garbage can for.
