    “Garbage”

    Stopped working after the first day. Replaced batteries and it would only work about 20% of the time. Good thing I had the protection plan. Retuned it and I would stay away from this trash can.

    It came dented, which was irritating but not a dealbreaker. Worked great for about a month. I thought the batteries had died so I changed them out but alas, it wasn't the batteries, it was just a cheaply made item. You're better off spending this money on a Simplehuman trashcan. Insignia items tend to break easy in my experience. Lesson learned!

    There are moments when it wants to open and other moments when it just doesn’t and defeats the purpose of being non touch. Imagine holding garbage in your hand and waving over it and it doesn’t open despite being on. Frustrating

    Do not waste your money like I did. Censors only work after it has "woken up." So if you're a regular person that throws stuff away once in a while, you'll be pressing the button more than anything else. So main purpose of this product of not needing to touch to throw the trash has become moot.

    stop working after 3 weeks regular usage. Also the up cap actually does not 100% fit the bottom tank, you need to force it to fit. But most of time, it will unhook and pops up automatically.
