iTouchless 13 Gallon Kitchen Trash Can with Odor Filter, Automatic Motion Sensor Bin, Soft-Close Stainless Steel, Slim Wastebasket for Narrow Spaces, Silver

Looks nice, the lid stability is good and works well, I appreciate and ordered this one for the added benefit of charcoal filters to dispel odors. The 13 gal trash bags fit well.

Love this trash can. Works great. Size is perfect.

I bought this to use as a diaper bin and it's been a true blessing. Even with it filled to capacity we only smell the nastiness for the brief moment the lid is open. Otherwise you'd never know the horrors that awaited inside lol! It's been running strong on the same batteries since I bought it. Bags are easy to replace and the removable bag ring is fantastic. With the top back on the bag is secure and completely concealed. I'm not sure how much the charcoal filter helps, but my main concern was odor when the can is closed, and for that purpose it works perfectly! As an added bonus the unit looks fantastic! Update: I've been using this daily for six months or so and it is a workhorse! Still running on the same batteries I purchased when I received it and blocking diaper odor just as effectively! Update: So, after working perfectly since last November, a couple weeks ago the lid decided to give up on me suddenly and completely! I figured the batteries had finally died, so I swapped in a fresh set and nothing happened. No light, no movement, nothing at all. I almost decided to just write it off, but figured I might as well try customer care. I sent them an email with a screen shot of my original order and description of the problem. To my pleasant surprise I got an email back within 24 hours with an incident number and instructions to call in for service. I called in thinking they were going to want me to send in the lid, but they surprised me by saying their policy had changed and I just had to pay a $9.95 service/shipping and handling fee and a new lid would be sent out. They didn't want the old one back at all. Since it would cost more than that to just ship the original lid in to them I had no issue paying the fee. About a week later I received my brand new lid! I really can'take say enough about the quality customer service I received from itouchless. It was all very simple and because of that I'm leaving my review at five stars! If you found this review to be helpful please indicate so. If there's something missing, or you'd like additional info, don't hesitate to ask. I write these in the hope that it will help other buyers make a decision with so many similar products available for purchase.

Edit # 2. I've now owned this trash can for about 3 years. It still works fine, but the gear mechanism is starting to slow down. Sometimes it won't close automatically. I think the gears are all clogged up with slime. gross but probably true. Anyway, got the ol' moneys worth out of it. I might do a detailed clean and try to wash out the mechanisms, lube it a bit and see if it comes back to life. ***EDIT**** I've now owned this trash can for about 16 months now. Still works exactly the same as when I purchased it. I have not had any sensor issues / gear issues, or any malfunctions. Now I'm spoiled by automatic trash cans. Quite happy with the product. *** End Edit *** I wanted a new trash can because I was really sick of the old foot pedal one. It wasn't so much the foot pedal being an issue, but the old can had an insert that came out every time you pulled the bag out, and had a poor implementation for keeping the bag from falling in the can...hated it. I thought an automatic one would be fun. It looks nice and is effective, does the job as advertised. I really like the holes they punch in the bottom of the can to avoid a vacuum effect when pulling the bag out. 4/5 times I can pull it out with one hand. What a great, simple innovation. Of course, if you have liquid that breaks through the bag, you might have liquid on the floor, in my case the carpet. Hasn't been an issue yet. It is slightly irritating to have to switch off the switch, pull the whole lid off and place it somewhere in order to change the bag, but not a big deal. Not nearly as irritating as the old can with its inner lining. The lid has a snug fit. The sidewalls are thinner then I expected, so if your can had any manufacturing flaws I can see where the lid might be a bit of a hassle to get on or off, or issues with the plastic ring staying put, but no problems here. The ring which holds the bag in place looked like a bigger pain then it is. It's actually pretty easy to deal with, and it is quite effective in holding even a very full bag in place, and hides it from view. I pack the bags full, compressing the trash until it is totally full before changing. Unlike another reviewer, I've had zero issues with the ring falling out of place or bags slipping. (I use bags with drawstrings which may help with that as they have a thicker top) When you pull a 14 gallon bag out of the can, it is all the way full, not wasting much of any bag or allowing it to become exploding full. They did a good job there. From the reviews I really thought I'd have a problem with the sensor as the can is in a location where we walk right by it constantly. I was pleasantly surprised that it doesn't ever accidentally open unless I specifically put my hand or trash directly over the front of the can. The time the lid stays open is good for me, and it scares the dog and my 2 year old when it closes which is absolutely hilarious. (in a light-hearted way, the baby isn't traumatized or anything.) I'm fine with the size of the opening, it could be a bit bigger. I think if you want a bigger opening you might go with one of those more expensive 18, or 22 gallon cans with automatic lids. But they're massive. Bought the A/C adaptor which works, the cord isn't very long (4-5 foot tops I'd say) but that wasn't a problem for my location. The action of the lid is the only place I have some real concerns. When the sensor is triggered, the lid opens all the way, then after a split second relaxes down a couple inches, decreasing the size of the opening. It didn't do this the first day I bought it and it has only been a month or so. Sometimes it doesn't do that and stays all the way open. It hasn't caused a problem yet but kinda makes me scrunch my nose like, huh, 70 bucks huh? I guess I thought I would be much more excited about this, but it is just a freakin garbage can yes? I'm still happy, but just slightly deflated from what my expectations were. Not a lot of options on the market in this price range. The build quality is medium, no more no less. For the money, the sidewalls and lid plastic should be thicker, gear mechanism should be more robust. I would have to say I don't have a lot of confidence this will last for years, though perhaps it will prove me wrong. I am satisfied with my purchase thus far. Its a garbage can.

To be fair, I was against the automatic trash cans in the first place. These are a purchase made by my wife. Upon her informing me that we would now be the proud owners of the latest "keeping up with the Joneses" product I was just so excited. I did not see a need that this overpriced trash storing receptacle solved that was lacking from the 100% waterproof, easy to clean, $7 garbage can I got from Walmart 20 years ago. I was told we got this due to the lid being able to lock and to be fair, the state of the art security latch did cause almost half a day of trouble for the child in question. However, let me start from the beginning. Two of these units arrived at my house while I was at work and my wife set them up. At first I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in as the brushed finish housing was several times nicer than the basic black piece of junk I had been just tossing my garbage into. As with every night when I return home, I went to clean the coffee pot and prep it for the next day. I was a bit nervous, but chose to approach this new challenge with as much fervor as I could muster. So with an open mind, I gently lifted the basket of used coffee grounds, then held them in front of the trash can so I could allow the remnants of the days coffee drip directly to the floor as I summoned the trash. I was elated to be greeted with the opening just slightly wider than the basket I would be emptying into it once the secrets beneath the lid we're finally revealed to me as the lid came fully open. It was at the moment I realized two things. First, I had been just tossing garbage like serf in the employ of my feudal lord's instead of summoning my refuse like the wise old wizards in the days of yore. Second, I had been purchasing way too many things with oversized packaging. Eggs for example, sure, I'm cooking for 6 on Saturdays, but having an 18 count package of eggs is so peasant and quaint. Clearly, I should not buy bulk of anything to be sure not to create large debris. I did not realize that once the champagne started flowing and the red ropes split that the rules changed and I would like to credit this amazing spoils containment unit for showing me the errors trained into me by my worthless, former plastic junk bin. So yes, the opening is a bit tight, but I am a modern man and not prone to judge an object just by the size of it's oriface. So I dug deep, after all the elation and excitement so far I was determined to find the flaw with these glorious works of art. At first, I was thrown by the paper thin plastic lid and connection to the anemic sounding motor before I realized that was to increase aerodynamic efficiency allowing the lid to whisk open and save me time. I was also impressed by the construction of these fine units as it was not simply a mold formed piece of plastic like the plebian scum bucket I had suffered though for so long but they have brought screws and some metal hardware into this operation. For the record, by some metal I mean the screws and two itty bitty pins being used as a hinge. Not the gears of the motor that will be held down by a lock while left on, or have to change directions quickly when a hand is detected or be in an area where it could likely get milk, or vinegar or other household chemicals that could possibly be corrosive. No, the gears are made from vinyl so as to offer the quiestest operation possible and while itty bitty hinges may sound bad, it clearly is to reduce the drag coefficient when the lid is in operation. The genuine thought and care put into the construction of this fine Adonis of a litter laboratory doesn't end their. As you get older and slower, the can slows down with you to give you that shot of confidence that, "you still got it!" Replace all the batteries you want, after about one year and one day of operation it will automatically adjust to the ten years you have clearly aged in that time. The lid will begin to slow and no longer open to full height as you no doubt have now achieved the top tier level of purchasing groceries in only the smallest packaging. Once again just showing that amazing forward thinking only certain companies can. Now I know what you're thinking, with all these stellar things going on, why on earth would such a worthy and innovative and device get only a one star review? Well, honestly, it's my fault. You see, I have not been bestowed the wisdom of the newest feature discoveries that have only shown up in recent history and they have behooved me. For example, the lid, built for speed and aerodynamics has proceeded to dislodge itself from the motor making the can a manual operation. I am not capable of the level of genius needed to understand this design. To further display my lack of intelligence I decided to take the mechanism apart in attempts to repair it as I am not ready for the advanced stages of this products evolutionary design. Upon removing the screws I expected to see stainless steel or some other treated, corrosion resistant substance. I was however greeted with 6 rusty, pop metal screws of which my lack of knowledge has left me baffled. I thought, perhaps it is so the can will actually degrade and fall into itself as it does keeping the mess to a minimum further showing the fore sight the design engineers had. However, with all the skill and top level thinking that went into the design and can't believe the answer to be that simple and I am once again thwarted by my own mental limitations. The mysteries this can has yet to reveal to me have left me in such a state of confusion that I had no choice but to give it a one star as clearly this product has somehow been leaked and must be intended for NASA or perhaps MENSA and has just fallen into the unappreciative hands of the masses due to some clerical error. Perhaps one day I will understand the complexities of this space aged utensil but until then, if you have read this in it's entirety then perhaps you will understand that this item is exactly that. It's a solution to a problem no one had. Save yourself the money and stick with the classic garbage can. If the site of a plastic or metal bin so offends you, find a cabinet or spend the money on a more visually pleasing can. With two of them at my house and having used the two at the neighbors I can assure you that it will last only as long as the warranty. It is not worth the money.

Great product. Purchased in 2023. Still going strong. No issues at all. Buy the power adapter with it. Batteries frequently get out of place and will cause the lid to not open.

This is the second one I've owned, through no fault of it's design. I was changing out the bag and had the top part on the counter. It fell off the counter and wouldn't work. Dang it! So I immediately bought another one. I had the first one for over 4 years and it was still working great, until I broke it. I really like the way it looks, the design, and it fits well in the area of the kitchen I have it in. I like the lock feature even though I don't use it.

This is my second itouchless garbage can. The first one lasted about 3 years then the door opening mechanism started to act up. I think it was because we always manually opened the door and might have stripped some of the gears. The problem with my previous model is that it would not open fast enough, it took like 3 second to recognize I wanted it to open. It was frustrating so we usually ended up forcing it open by hand. I knew it should open faster, I have see other models. I took a chance and bought another and it does open much faster so no need to force it open. The batteries last me a few years so no need for the AC adapter. The charcoal filter is nice in the summer when food starts to smell quicker. On my last model I stopped using the filter but I did notice more smell around the trash can. With the filter the smell is only noticed when the lid opens. I think I will use the filter more in the summer months. In general this trash can keeps the smell down in the kitchen, the other trash cans with loose fitting lids do not do as well. That is part of the reason I purchased another one. Also, having the auto open really helps when cooking and your hands are full of garbage to throw out. I think the door sensor should have an sensitivity adjustment. I would prefer a very fast opener, I could live with a occasional false open. When I want to throw something out I wan the lid open in under 1 second. This is the only thing I see missing that should be there. Auto sensing light switches have an adjustment, this should too. Update: This trash can is starting to go bad. It takes about 1-2 seconds to recognize you want to open it. Then it closed in 1 second, leaving little time to drop garbage in. Also the open button does not work well, when I go to press it the sensor picks up my motion and that overrides the open button so the door closed in one second. What it is supposed to do is open the top and leave it open till you close it. Would be nice if that worked but does not work well. Think my next trash can will be another vender.
