Product Description

Stainless Steel Infrared Trashcan Our stainless steel trash cans combine state of the art infrared technology and the best of quality. We only use commercial grade stainless steel so you need not worry about rust or water damage to the stainless steel. They are easy to clean and fit into any kitchen with a variety of sizes. And with the brushed, you can have a durable trash can without sacrificing appeal. The lid is made from ABS plastic. ABS plastic is the highest grade of plastic out in the market. This type of plastic will not crack, change shape, or change color due to variations in climate. Our designers spent hundreds of hours making adjustments to perfecting the lid. They ensure that every lid closes tightly and odors will stay in the trash can keeping your surroundings clean and fresh. We've also made advances in our twice-closing mechanism so the lid closes silently and efficiently. Our patented technology infrared sensor detects motion within ten inches. The sensor made it possible that you no longer have to have contact with the dirty trash can. We've taken away the pedals and the pushing/lifting of the lid to truly avoid you from germs. The distance and angle of the sensor has been tested over thousands of times to ensure that it would be the best possible. All of our trash cans are battery operated. Our technicians worked with physicists to find the best energy saving formula and designed our mechanism to specifications. With one change of batteries, it will run for more than 10,000 open and closes, the equivalent to a year of usage.

Customer Reviews

Great looking but impractical
There is no doubt that these cans look great; they are sleek and modern looking, and don't take up a lot of space. However, I would not recommend them if they are going to be used in any area with foot traffic. The sensor device that opens the cans picks up virtually every movement, so whenever you walk by them, they open. And the noise of them opening and closing repeatedly is grating (not to mention a waste of battery life). Although they can be turned off completely, there is no way to turn off the automatic open/close sensor function, so either they are completely off, and useless, or on sensor mode, and annoying. It would have been nice if they could be placed in a mode where they are opened and closed manually with the on/off button (although even if such a function existed, it would be a bit impractical to have to push a button if you have trash or recycling in your hands). They can be opened (and left open) manually with the push of a button, which is okay, I suppose, if you don't mind leaving your trash cans open all the time. I am sorry I didn't just order pedal cans, which I think, in hindsight, would have made much more sense. One final point: It is a plus that they use standard trash bags (a lot of stainless steel cans require special bags), but I found the bag holder ring to be useless. 13-gallon bags stay in well enough without the rings, but if you use the rings as the directions indicate, you have to push the ring almost halfway down the length of the can, causing you to lose a lot of room you would otherwise have in the bag.

Great item but poor bag holder
This item works great. The only drawback is the poor design of the plastic bag holder. It is a flimsy plastic insert that is supposed to hold the plastic bags but it easily pushes down into the can as items are added to the bag. I rate the bag holder a minus 10. If you don't mind the hassle with the bag holder it's a good item. Personally, I would not purchase another one unless the bag holder problem is fixed.

Does not last 10 years
Bought this in January of 2005. Now 1 1/2yrs. later. it does not open or close. Changed batteries, still not working.
