2.0 out of 5 stars Lets you put trash in, getting it out is another story, March 31, 2010

This review is from: Nine Stars Infrared Touchless Stainless Steel Trash Can (Kitchen)

First, this trash can does what it is designed to do. The infrared sensor works. The lid opens. It closes. It looks good. It is a good size. And, it lets you put trash in.

The problem is the design of the canister. For some unknown reason, the lip at the top of the can is to the inside.

Don't see the problem? With the lip on the inside, the body of the can is larger than the lip. So, when you try to pull the bag out, it hangs and tears the bag. So 90% of the time (even with expensive, thick bags) I end up cleaning up a mess on the floor.

Our solution: we took a large piece of cardboard, cut it to size and lined the can with it so the body of the can is the same size as the lip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the item pictured, but..., April 26, 2009

I purchased this item as a replacement for my original infrared can, when a plastic gear broke after several years of use. I thought it was a direct replacement based on the picture. The item I received is a different design. The on/off switch is on the inside so it can be flush against a surface without accidentally turning it off. The opening runs along the widest demension of the can making it much easier to deposit larger items like plastic plates. Best of all, it is almost silent unlike my original purchase.
Although I could be disappointed that I didn't receive the pictured item, this turns out to be a much better design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Kitchen Buy!, February 9, 2011

This review is from: Nine Stars DZT-80-4 Infrared Touchless Stainless Steel Trash Can, 21.1-Gallon (Kitchen)

These points are why I love this garbage can:
- Large Capacity (We now only take the garbage out on trash night vs. 2/3x a week)
- Touch-less (Stays a lot cleaner and more sanitary {I'm a germ freak})
- Stainless finish (Easier to clean {We've yet had to really scrub this down; been a month since ownership})
- Bag-less appearance (Keeps the trash looking neater w/o that messy overhang)

Before making this purchase, I read the previous reviews and was hesitant after seeing some of the lower ratings. I have no idea why people had such a bad experience (maybe lemons to begin with?) as I've had nothing but good experiences with mine. Some reviews said taking the trash out was hard, I don't think it is. Sure you have to be careful with the inner ring (as it is something you wouldn't want to break), but what do you expect if you want to hide the trash bag? It's a given and I believe this can was well designed. I do wish the top part was a little more appealing to look at (possibly all stainless top w/ black plastic lid?), but in all - a great buy.

Highly recommended this item as it was the only trash can that I found featuring:
- Stainless
- Touch-less
- 15+ Gallon Capacity

Other trash cans didn't come close to the last feature, and if any, were twice the price! This is a great buy, highly recommended for 2+ people households.
