Works great

The automatic garbage can works amazingly, just swipe your hand over the sensor, and it opens. Our daughters would always slam the foot pedal on our old can, marking up the walls when the lid would hit them. No worries anymore with this new can. You don’t need special bags for this can like our last one, so that makes it a lot cheaper. It has a nice look to it also.

Great addition to any kitchen

​EKO Sensor Can is fantastic! Fits standard bags perfectly—huge plus! The wave sensor is awesome when hands are messy (totally touchless!). Changing batteries is super fast with the easy lock/unlock feature. Plus, the stainless steel is a breeze to clean. Love it!

Good value and sturdy

This is a quiet opening lid that responds consistently to motion. It has an on/off switch that would be handy to disable auto open feature if you have a larger dog that is trash curious and you aren’t at home. Our Rottweiler was easily able to activate opening the can. The can is sturdy and has a base that keeps it from slipping around. There is a place to lift it from the back and it works well with the average store bought garbage bag (13 gallon size). No special bags to buy like some other brands. Easy to wipe down and keep clean.

Fantastic trash can

Received this kitchen trash can a couple weeks ago now. It’s great because of the following features, super quiet opening and closing feature, stylish stainless steel design and it’s rectangular space help you maximize the standard 13 gallon trash can liners. It seems to be well built and very sturdy so my dog is not able to knock it down , which is a huge plus for pet owners. Overall it’s the best kitchen trash can I’ve ever owned and my wife agrees.

Sensor thrash can that opens and closes quietly

This thrash is really nice. It's very modern amd sleek. I love that it's stainless steel and can be easily cleaned. it's not too big nor too small and looks like it can fit anywhere. My favorite thing about it is that it's sensor and opens and closes quietly.

Magical trash bin

This 13-gallon smart trash can is fantastic, I can't believe I ever lived without it. As someone who cooks regularly and hates touching dirty lids (especially with kids and pets around), this thing is pure magic. The motion sensor is perfect—no fumbling, no smudges, just a wave of the hand and the lid glides open smoothly. It's so quiet and responsive. The 13-gallon capacity is ideal for my entire family. I only need to take out the trash every 4-5 days, even with daily meal prep. The bin itself is made of high-quality, fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, and it's surprisingly lightweight for its size. The inner bucket is easy to remove and clean, and the liner fits perfectly—no slipping or bunching.It runs on 4 AA batteries that lasts about 3-4 weeks on a single charge.

Electric trash can (chromeHb

This trash can is more high tech then the similar model I have before m. I put batters right in it and it started working right away. the dog even ran his nose a-crossed it and it opened as well. Closes easy which helps if cours. Easy to lean onto if something finds itself messy in front. Sticks you can’t use rechargeable batteries too.

Love this trash can

I didn't expect to have strong feelings about a trash can, but this one genuinely impressed me. The motion sensor lid works smoothly and opens quickly with just a small wave of your hand, which is incredibly convenient when you're cooking or your hands are full. It feels surprisingly hygienic too—I barely have to touch it at all. The build quality is solid, and it doesn't feel flimsy. The lid closes quietly and seals well, which helps keep odors contained. It may seem like a small upgrade, but it's one of those everyday items that actually makes life a little easier. If you're on the fence about a motion-sensor trash can, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try.

Very nice!

I’ve used this trash can for about 2 weeks, and I really like it. The automated feature is very handy, especially when you have your hands full. The inner liner is nice, makes the bags easy to change and easy to keep clean. Overall, a nice product.

We will be returning this as soon as we can

We only had this trash can for a day when the "automatic" top stopped working!!! Then all of a sudden it started working again! Then it stopped again. It's haunted. We will be returning this soon, and just getting a trashcan to step on to open it. Bummed it's not reliable.
