Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the 3 Gal. Automatic Trash Can is the perfect size, especially for smaller spaces like guest bathrooms, and appreciate its ease of use, making it suitable for children. The sensor feature and automatic lid are also well-received, along with the product's quality and design. While the sensitivity of the sensor is a minor concern for some, the overall odor control and long battery life contribute to a positive customer experience.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    It was working perfectly for about 24 hours, then the lid just stopped working. I replaced the batteries, cleaned the sensor. We were excited for the price, however, found out why it was cheap.

    The lids don't always open, and rarely close in response to motion so I leave it open most of the time, defeating the purpose.

    Just received the trash can and I gotta say I am disappointed. The sensor doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. The lid doesn’t open automatically. And as I’m sitting here typing this, the lid is just sitting open. It’s not even shutting like it should. Very very disappointed! Waste of money if you ask me. Dissatisfied customer right here

    The motion sensor is horrible, I bought 2 so its not just a fluke. End up pushing the open button 90% of the time because you have to sit there with your hand or whatever over the motion sensor for at least 3 seconds.

    Insensitive Sensor

    The sensor that opens the trashcan is very difficult to activate. I usually have to swipe my hand in front of it 3 to 5+ times. Sometimes it does not work at all and I have to push the button.

    Garbage. Got two of these. One didn’t work at all, and the other either won’t open or just opens and closes on its own. Would have returned them both but they arrived while I was on vacation so by the time I got them and tried to use them they were past the return periods.
