    Cannot get trash bags out after filled without rip

    Posted .

    It’s really difficult to get the trash bags out of the bin once they are filled. If you have both the recycling and trash filled out the same time, its hard to pull out one bag at a time. I ended up removing the middle insert and just use it as one big bin now instead of divided. It looks nice which is why I’m giving 2 stars. It’s not functional.

    Bought this back in 2018 still going strong

    At the time no one believed this was going to be a good thing but I loved the ability to open the lid without touching it. We have gone through maybe 4 sets of batteries in 6 years with daily continual use. Fits regular white kitchen bags- it is easy to swap full bags for new ones. If you're in a busy household I'd highly recommend this can. When it won't open then hit the close button and it will reset itselft.

    No inside insert to take out and empty. The 3 D batteries you need to open and close the lid drains very quickly

    Doesn’t work consistently

    I love the concept but unfortunately ours only works for a day or two before we have to take out the batteries to reset it. Then it works for another few days bf having to repeat the process.

    I had to return it before I even had a chance to use it. The sensor never worked and the open button didn’t work. I called customer service and they had me bring it back in to Best Buy to see if a tech could fix it. In the end Best Buy couldn’t figure it out and asked if I wanted to return or exchange. Return it was.
