Review on ITouchless 13 Gallon Sensor Kitchen Trash Can With Odor Control System, Brushed Stainless Steel Round Garbage Bin For Home Or Office - IT13RCB by Karen Smith

Since I've owned the product or rather the elderly family member I got this for as a gift, I believe I can give a decent review since it has been in service for a few months.First, the good stuff. Its motion sensor works flawlessly and has not given any issues. Being 23 gallons, it will last the entire day before needing to be taken out, of course your mileage may vary due to throwing away large containers and items. The wheels allow it to move freely throughout the kitchen and home.Now for the bad. Maybe it was damaged in shipping and I never noticed before giving it away or this can be an oversight in design and future models can be improved.There is a small gap around the trashcan lid (once the flap is lifted open). Apparently food items and liquids etc have gotten into that thin gap and caused mold to grow. So deciding to do a deep clean for the family member, I flipped the lid over and noticed a majority of the screws were rusted. It could be surface rust and not a huge deal. Anyway, I removed the screws and tabs to remove the plastic lid from the silver lid. Here is where the trouble starts, it is connected by two red wires that feed from the battery compartment to the relay switch that operates the motor, so wiping down, cleaning and disinfecting both lids was a pain. Upon attaching both lids, I ran a bead of caulk around that gap to seal it and to keep any more food and liquid from going under and in between the two lids.Dont get me wrong, it's a nice touchless trash can for the money and the recipient loves it. But I would like to see the lids be made a little more "deepcleaning" friendly for the average user and/or a gasket seal and prevent this issue from happening.
