    I like the trash can, it's convenient when your had is full of stuff to throw away. All you have to do is just get close to the sensor and the top lifts up.

    I like that it works as advertised. I do wish Best Buy shared suggested bags. In the illustration, Best Buy shows a white bag and a blue bag. Where do you get those?

    Best trash can I have owned to date. I have not install batteries so not sure how well that part works. Only issue is when removing the full trash bags it is difficult at times especially when too full.

    I purchased this to replace my older version of this can, that was showing its age. 1st one lid rattled lid opened 1/4 way before free falling closed. Replaced it, only to have the same rattling issue, lights and motor came on, but lid did nothing. Replaced again now the 3rd can different store thinking maybe bad batch. 3rd can did the same thing as the first one. All three cans had a fresh set of batteries to make sure it wasn't just batteries.

    Arrived with a huge dent in the side and the sensor is kind of hit or miss when it wants to work. I like the size and everything else about it. I do not think it would be worth any where near the full purchase price of $159 but I paid less that half that and kept it even though it has dents.

    Recieved this item last night (06/03/23) through FedEx. Waited until today to buy "D" batteries. Batteries were placed in correctly (checked it twice) and the green sensor didnt turn on. Defective item. 2 star because the pockets were deep. Returned it and got my money back.

    Works great. We’ll see how long the lid lasts. I had purchased this same garbage can under a different branding on Amazon a few years back. The loss broke after about a year. I found this one on Best Buy for such a great deal, I couldn’t pass it up.

    I disagree with most of the negative reviews. This is a great trash can. Get it in sale, it is worth the buck! Also, you can remove the middle panel from the inside to use bigger bags.

    Great looking trash can. It’s built very well. However it doesn’t work. I put batteries in it and it doesn’t work. I took those batteries out and put another 3 brand new batteries in it and all it does is blink. I can not get it to automatically open or close. It won’t even open or close when you push the buttons on the lid it self.
