 - I love this trash can!I love this trashcan! It makes cooking so much easier, by just having to turn around with veggie cuttings, or packaging, I don't have to clean my hands off to clear the counter. I just turn, it opens it's mouth, and in the garbage goes. Rating: - Great modern kitchen deviceThis is a great product! It's especially useful when you are working in the kitchen and have your hands full. This replaced a different hands-free can that I had owned in the past. I prefer this particular model because the infrared is sensitive enough to detect when you need the lid to open, but not overly sensitive so that it is triggered simply by walking by. The price is also very reasonable compared to other models. Rating:  - The lid is highly likely to breakI've had 2 of these, and just as several other reviewers have noted, the lid is prone to break. The first 1 came from Costco, and the lid stopped going up after a few months, so I took it back and exchanged it. The 2nd one worked fine for a while, but became very erratic. It would open, and then slowly drift back to closed instead of staying open. It would also make grinding sounds as the lid gear was slipping. Finally, the gear for the lid completely broke off from the rest of the lid, and now the unit doesn't work at all. One other issue is that the lid is a bit slow to open. Sometimes it works Ok, but at other times it seems we have to wave something a few times in front of it before it finally decides to open. The "artificial intelligence" they advertise seems to still have some bugs. It's a great idea in general, but the quality is lacking. I'd gladly pay twice the price for a product that would last. Rating: - NOT WORTH THE MONEYWhile this is a very good looking trash can and looks good in my kitchen, it has more drawbacks than positives. Its hard to fit the plastic liner in it - the ring that holds it in place slips all around. Also, when you remove the liner its hard to get ahold of the ring and I sometimes puncture the bag in the process. If you place it in an area where there is traffic, the lid opens and closes every time someone walks by. But, on the positive side, it is a delight to be able to just wave your hand at it when you want the lid to open. If could do it all over again I wouldn't have ordered this item. I, unfortunately, threw the box it came in away too soon and couldn't send it back. Rating:  - Entertaining and UsefulAbsolutely great for the kitchen. Makes throwing trash away fun. Beautiful addition to my room. Easy to clean. Couple of things to keep in mind, the opening to the can is smaller than some since the opening mechanism is in the opening and therefore blocks a portion of it. Mine arrived with a dent in the back corner, which my husband has promised to fix and I have decided I can get over. I would recommend it to friends and family, and buy one again for myself if I had another room.
