The best product for the price,

This review is from: Nine Stars Trash Can/Recycler, Infrared Touchless Automatic Motion Sensor Lid, Stainless Steel, 18.5-Gallon (Kitchen)
I've owned this garbage can since March of 2010 and I absolutely love it. It is the only product, outside of something industrial, on the market today of its size and quality, and the price is absolutely unbeatable. The dual chambers work perfectly for separating trash and recyclables and the lid closes tightly to block in odors. The stainless is "fingerprint proof" so very low maintenance there.
It does require some care and attention, moreso than your standard plastic $5 trash can. It requires fresh batteries (changed about every 6 months) to keep it working well. Some reviews have complained about the sensor itself, but I have never had an issue with this problem. You do have to hold your debris within 6 inches of the sensor for it to open properly. Simply "waving" in front of the sensor doesn't work. With practice you get a sense of the timing. Another reviewer had issues with the plastic bags sticking out of the top; there are two rings that lock the bags in place and if you pull the plastic around the rings and gather it in properly (I have found drawstring bags work best for this) the plastic is neatly tucked inside the garbage can. When emptying the can you do have to physically remove the entire lid and interior rings, so its a little more work than a standard can, but the benefits of having the dual chamber and not having to touch the can with messy hands far outweighs this slight inconvenience. Overall, especially at a price point under $100 this is an unbeatable deal and unique to the market. Other competitors have similar models, but none this is the largest with equal-sized containers, runs on batteries alone, and doesn't require any special bags or adapters. Given the opportunity I would buy this product again and have purchased it as a gift for other family and friends. If you're needing a new system in your kitchen, go for it.

GREAT trash can/recycling solution,

This review is from: Nine Stars Trash Can/Recycler, Infrared Touchless Automatic Motion Sensor Lid, Stainless Steel, 18.5-Gallon (Kitchen)
I read the positive and negative reviews. Honestly, I think those leaving negative feedback may have had unrealistic expectations. This receptacle is great. Was able to hide the trash bag edges easily on the first try - the trick is to pull the rings out, cinch the drawstring a little, and then tug on the inside of the bag before pushing the rings all the way back in. It's bigger than I thought it would be, after reading a bunch of reviews where it was smaller than the buyer thought. It's perfect - nice look, functional, and I don't think the novelty of having an automatic trash can will ever wear off. No problems using the touch free.

Not a very sensitive "sensor",

This review is from: Nine Stars Trash Can/Recycler, Infrared Touchless Automatic Motion Sensor Lid, Stainless Steel, 18.5-Gallon (Kitchen)
I had high hopes for this trash can, but am pretty unimpressed. The lid often does not open when you wave your hand in front of it, so I have to press the "open" button, while wet garbage drips onto the lid. Also, the lid does not close tightly (it just sits on top), so the smell of the trash escapes into the room.
I do like the concept of having trash and recycling, though, and I think the bins are large enough. It just needs to work better.
