13 Gallon Wings-Open Kitchen Trash Can with Lid and Odor Filter

I bought this can in Jan. 2024 after my new dog had knocked over my previous can, resulting in a vet ER visit for THREE dogs to induce vomiting. Oy. It's the end of June, 2024, so I've had 6 moths with this trashcan to assess its ease of use and functionality. I purchased the power cord separately so I can keep it plugged in at all times. I like the stainless steel. It wipes clean pretty easily. I love the clam-shell closure on top as it lies flat, but opens with enough space to put typically sized garbage into the can easily (larger than personal pan pizza boxes will need to go straight to the outside can). I love that the bag is tucked neatly out of sight when set up properly. I read several reviews that grumbled about how taking the bag out to empty caused tears. This would only happen if you don't bother to remove the frame that holds the bag in place. If you take the frame off (see video), that will never be an issue as there is nothing to get stuck on. I should say, there is a carbon filter you can place in the can to help reduce odors. I think it is meant to stick to one of the interior walls, and this would very likely cause some very full bags to tear. But, there is no reason you can't just put that filter on the floor of the can (as I did). The filter will reduce odors just as well from under the bag as from the interior wall, and being on the floor of the can keeps it out of the way when removing full bags. I also saw reviews that grumbled about the need for very specific bags (I use standard 13-gallon bags - Great Value, the Walmart brand). Any standard 13-gallon bag should fit easily. Finally, I read reviews grumbling about how difficult it was to put the bags in properly. I found it to be decidedly easy to do. I made a video showing both removing bags without tearing and putting new bags in with ease so y'all can see just how simple it is. On the downside (nothing is perfect), I have to be sure there is enough distance between the motion sensor and the wall, otherwise light changes (shadows) across the wall will trigger the lid to open repeatedly. I have it facing the wall to minimize risk of my dogs triggering the lid to open. I don't need a repeat vet ER visit, thanks. But, as long as there's 3-4 inches between the wall and the sensor, I do not have this problem. I have seen a couple reviews suggesting the need to touch the can to make the lid open. This is simply not true. Depending on the angle of lighting, you can trigger the lid to open from 8-10 inches, or you might need to be within 1-2 inches. But you don't need to touch the lid. I have triggered the lid with nothing more than the clear cellophane from a frozen food. It's not that hard. You just need to approach from the correct angle given the light in the room. You do have the option of pushing a button to hold the lid open if you need it open for longer than the automatic time. I use this when I'm emptying the vacuum canister or throwing out multiple items at one time. If you have pressed the stay-open button, you will also need to press the close button to end that stay-open feature. Once it's closed after that, the motion-sensor feature is functioning again. I do like that there is a power button so you can turn off the lid when needed. There is also a pet-lock allowing you to keep the lid from opening even if the power is on and the motion sensor is triggered. Overall, I have been very pleased with this can. It's compact, tidy, and works great. Definitely worth the money.

Stopped opening and closing after one year, a couple of weeks after the manufacturers' warranty expired. Contacted the manufacturer, and they agreed to send a replacement lid even though the warranty had expired...because it was so soon after. Great company. Highly recommend.

I’ve had numerous touchless cans over the years, and this one by far is the best, I’m using the batteries right now and so far they’ve lasted about two months or so since I’ve bought this trash can . The lids open and close very quickly any smudges wipe off it’s a very well put together very nice can. I accidentally broke the rim that holds the bags and contacted customer support and even though it’s not under warranty, they are sending me another one anyway, so on top of the can customer service is also top of the line. I reached out to them and they immediately got back to me and are sending me the piece at no charge. Great can great company you can’t go wrong here I’m very impressed.! Holds a 13 gallon trash bags perfectly.I’m updating this review, I’ve gone through three of the bag holding rings they cost $25 from the manufacturer. I will not be buying another one. I highly recommend buying a trashcan that does not use these rings. Made of cheap plastic and break easily. Within six months. I will have bought as many plastic rings for the bags to make up for the cost of the can. As I stated before they sent me a free one in the beginning now they just keep breaking on a monthly basis. I can no longer recommend buying this can.

I bought the itouchless trash can about a year and a half ago. I didn’t mind paying a little more for the ac adapter so I wouldn’t have to worry about batteries wearing out. We got used to the sensor. We learned when you open it, make sure to throw the garbage away quickly before the lid shuts. After a few slow tosses and the trash landing on top of the suddenly closed lid, you learn to adjust. We don’t mind that when our cat jumps onto the counter she sometimes inadvertently makes the lid open. So now that we’ve all adjusted to it and really like it, out of nowhere the lid suddenly stopped opening all the way. It only opens half way and sounds really weak doing so. I don’t think the motor is built to last. The trash can only has a one year warranty so im out of luck. Most trash cans last several years. In fact I still have the old foot petal one that the itouchless replaced. It’s just in a different room. (Soon to be back in the kitchen with the itouchless can promptly inside of it) I contacted customer service and they gave me a troubleshooting option that didn’t work. They now want my receipt and date of purchase which I can predict will tell me I need to buy a new one since it’s out of warranty. Wish I would’ve saved my money. I guess not everything in the house has to be high tech…. Update: they are replacing the lid for a $10 shipping fee even though it was past warranty.

Great product, bought it a few times now. Also customer support for this product is amazing! Had and issue with the lid and was resolved within the week! Very convenient and great value!

Can works great but came with several dents in the sides. I was able to get two out but three remained. We bought it to keep our cats out and it works as we had hoped.

For one, it’s not dog proof. My dog popped the lid up in minutes. The first one arrived and the lid didn’t work with either batteries or the power cord option. I returned it and the second arrived with a small dent, but the lid works. I did end up returning that one since it’s not dog proof and said it is. That was why I got it. If you don’t have dogs that go for the trash, it’ll work fine. It’s pretty, good sized and all that. Going for a regular step open lid instead.

This product is not 6 months old yet and the sensor on the lid no longer works Issue I have is in Australia you cannot buy replacement lids Cost me a lot to buy this bin and I can’t open the lid

Great machine

Shorter than I thought
