Was a little skeptical in the beginning after having bad experiences with other products where sensors usually will fail. But this product has been doing its job so well so far.

We had a single automatic open trash cam and a separate recycle trash can; this double automatic one works great and more efficiently.

I really like this product so far. The batteries seem to be lasting longer than I expected based on other reviews. The only drawback is that it often opens when you walk by if your hand gets too close to it which could drain the batteries more quickly. I think the size is perfect.

Honestly it's a must have for any family, it saves time and its super efficient. No more having to step on pedals, just swipe your hand across and it opens all by itself. Set-up was super easy, no hassle.

Got this for my girl who’s been wanting one since they been using 2 separate cans. I saw this on sale plus I had a bunch of points so it was a great deal to purchase. So far it’s been easy to use and my girl loves it, will update as soon as it has any issues.

Great Idea, but it needs to be a bit larger

I like this trash can, but I wish that it was a little bit larger. It's especially a little bit of a problem for recycling items that are a bit larger because I have to put them directly in my recycling bin outside or attempt to fold them so they fit in the limited space. The sensor is also very sensitive. I have started turning off the switch so I don't set it off when I get silverware out of the drawer across from the trash can. It sometimes opens when I just walk by the can.

Great automatic trash can. It does the job and eliminates us keeping a box next to our old can for recycling materials.

Nice trash can. I like that it’s a 2 in 1, trash and recycle separate in one container. The trash looks very well made. Only reason for the 4 star is that it arrived damaged. The side was caved in but instead of exchanging it, I just hammered it out. A lot better but can still see a slight indentation. The box had protection on the top and bottom but nothing on the side.
Overall it’s a keeper. Had friends that saw it and would like to get one. So I definitely recommend it.

put in the batteries and waved at it. nope. didnt open. you physically have to touch the sensor to open it. the only thing automatic about this trashcan is it will close by it self. and it does that poorly. i paid 100$ for this trashcan and will probably keep it due to the size of the product and the hassle of the return. but again this is not an automatic trashcan.

Got this on Deal of the Day. Haven't used it yet, but anticipate it working like smaller versions in the same line will, and will be good deal. Nice to have similar sized kitchen trash can that can handle trash and recycle

I wish the sign for trash and recycle were on the lids instead of on the front of the can. People standing at the cans miss the signs. Product works well.
