ELPHECO Square Stainless Steel 8 Gallon Sensor Trash Can with Lid, 30 Liter Automatic Kitchen Garbage Can, Slim Metal Trash Can for Home, Hotel, Office Building, Public Places

I purchased this trash can in the beginning of February 2024 and it is the best trash can that I have owned in my 46 years of marriage. I am so surprised by how much a trash can is making me happy. It is the perfect size to fit into my coffee bar area without being obtrusive while still holding a large enough amount of trash. The only issue I have with it is that the first set of batteries just dies, lasting far longer than I expected them to, a couple of days ago and after replacing them, the automatic lid does not always lift on the first try. It is still usable, annoying as it is. I am wondering how many other lids of this trash can have done this and maybe is there a possible fix for it? I definitely recommend this can and would purchase another.

I bought this for my office. Perfect size for the space I have and works great. I’m very happy with it. In fact 2 other people have ordered it after seeing mine. Unfortunately the battery compartment fell out and accidentally got thrown away. I contacted customer support and since it is under warranty they are sending me a replacement. Great customer service. They reply back to me when I check up on the status of the part. It is taking a while due to where it’s coming from but I am so happy I don’t have to buy another one.

What I liked:Hands-free lid - works well and keeps the trash out of sight.Looks nice - the square shape is compact and fits in a very tight space.What I don't like:The battery compartment/holder is very confusing - difficult to get the batteries in correctly. Also, the entire thing fell INTO the trash and we accidentally threw it out. Lovely. I hard-wired it with a USB cord and connected it to a USB outlet - that fixes that.The other big (critically bad) flaw: there's a lip along the top of the bin that catches and tears the bag when one removes it on trash day. Nothing like having to pick up trash that spills out thanks to a poor design/poor manufacturing process. I'm still trying to figure out a "best" solution for this... I think it's going to involved duct-taping the lip.Overall, for the price, very disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This set up very easily, fits right into the space I have for it, and the motion sensor has worked very well in the two months I have had it. It was shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. The bags included with it work well, but I thought I'd be able to use my existing 13 gallon trash bags in it, and they don't fit over the frame, so I will have to up-size.

The media could not be loaded. It is very, very quiet and extremely smooth operating. The sensor activates at about 6 inches away, (I measured). A perfect hight for next to my queen sized bed which was my main concern, whether it would be the right hight for ease of reach. I also like that it has touch sensitive open and close buttons that keep the lid open until you push close. Another function that I find helpful is that it will keep the countdown timer at maximum 5 as long as your hand is in its detection field and as soon as you move away, the timer resumes and counts from 5 to 0 before it closes the lid. It did not come with 3 AA batteries. I bought a small charger that came with 4 Energizer rechargeable batteries and an extra 4 pack so that I could keep charged batteries in it at all times, probably overkill considering the unit couldn't use much power. I very much recommend this trashcan.

I purchased this 8-gallon trash can that boasts a unique feature - it opens and closes automatically as you approach it. This hands-free operation is incredibly convenient, especially when your hands are full or dirty. The sensor technology is responsive and reliable, making it a breeze to dispose of trash without having to touch the lid.One of the standout features of this trash can is its slim design, which allows it to fit perfectly in a tight space in my kitchen. Despite its smaller size, it can accommodate a 13-gallon trash bag with ease, making it a practical option for daily use.I also appreciate the option to manually open and close the lid with a simple tap, providing versatility in how I interact with the trash can. The battery-powered operation ensures that the lid opens and closes smoothly, although it is worth noting that when the battery is running low, manual operation is required until the battery is replaced.Overall, this 8-gallon trash can has proven to be a useful addition to my home. Its automatic opening and closing feature, slim design, and easy operation make it a convenient and efficient solution for managing household waste. If you are looking for a practical and user-friendly trash can, this model is definitely worth considering.

Up until recently I loved this trash can. The design was so much better than our previous one that we had for 8 years. I purchased this in late November of 2023 and now in late September 2024, the lid refuses to close all the way so it's literally just half open all the time. Not only is this gross because you can smell trash smells, it's also straight up annoying and embarrassing when you have guests over. I attempted to reach out to the seller to see if there was some type of warranty for this defective product or to see if they have a workaround on how to fix it and I got no response. $100 for a trash can is a lot of money right now and I expected a lot more considering my last one lasted 8 years.Edit: seller reached out and is sending replacement top to see if this will prevent this issue from continuing. Still didn't expect a less than year old can to stop closing.

love it … sort of hard to get your trash out though
