Description of simplehuman 45L / 12 Gal Semi-Round Auto Sensor Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel

MOTION SENSOR - Infrared fields sense the areas above and in front of the can so it opens automatically with just the wave of your hand. FAST, SMOOTH AND WHISPER-QUIET - A precision motor and planetary gear system produces smooth, steady power — and you won't hear a thing. NEAT AND EASY - The outer lid lifts up for easy access to the liner — no need to remove the top of the can or fumble with a bucket. When you're done, it closes over the liner to keep it neatly out of sight. LINER POCKET - Keep liners where you need them. Dispense them one by one — no perforations or unraveling — from inside the can for a faster liner change. CLEANER STAINLESS STEEL - simplehuman's invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and luster of the steel. ENERGY EFFICIENT - Lasts up to 1 year with 4 alkaline AA batteries (included). CUSTOM FIT LINERS - Code J liners are designed to fit this can perfectly and are extra strong to prevent leaks and tears. Refill packs dispense liners one at a time and store perfectly in cans with the new liner pocket feature.

Overrated Automatic Bathroom Bin

Save your money! After trying this product, I found it to be overrated and not worth the price. The so-called touchless feature is ineffective and often requires multiple attempts to open. The bin is too small and fills up quickly, leading to frequent trips to empty it. As for the design, it's nothing special and looks like any other basic bin. It's a shame since I expected better from a company that specializes in Home and Kitchen products.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Ineffective touchless feature, small size.

Worked less than a year

Worked VERY well. until this happened. Our experience was similar to some other 1 star reviewers, the lid stopped opening normally after less than a year. Sometimes it opens halfway, and sometimes it doesn't open at all. Eventually, after 15 months of use, it failed to the point where the lid wouldn't open at all, and yet it flashes a blue light, indicating it can see very well. Decided not to contact Simplehuman due to other reviewers bad experiences. A while back I got tired of replacing…

Pros
  • Storage and organization
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Expensive but good quality

This is the first time we've bought a robotic trash can that wasn't the EKO brand that Costco sells. Costco always seems to have a can of EKO that they swap out for their latest "improved" can each year, and for one reason or another we buy a new one almost every year. 3 robots from EKO to establish our experience with them and why they can be singled out, but I'll try to be brief. Our first IVF was high and noisy. The engine could be heard throughout the house. The liner was held by an inner…

Pros
  • Garbage, Recycling & Compost
Cons
  • Neutral
