Ninestars Automatic Touchless Infrared Motion Sensor Trash Can, 13 Gal 50L, Stainless Steel Base (Rectangular, Black Lid), Black Trim

I've been using this trash can for quite some time now, and it's fantastic how the lid opens automatically when I approach my hand. It makes throwing out trash so easy and hygienic, no need to touch the lid at all! The motion sensor is very responsive and reliable. I also appreciate the sleek stainless steel design, which looks great in my kitchen. The size is perfect, and it holds a good amount of garbage.

I don't typically write reviews, much less for products I bought over a year ago, but I wanted to give a shoutout to Nine Stars for this one. We searched long and hard to find a nice-looking stainless steel trash can for our kitchen that actually fit in our space. The automatic lid was honestly just a bonus, but boy am I happy to have it. Our countertop extends out beyond the end of the cabinet, so other trashcans we tried would clang loudly against it when they opened. Or they couldn't be put flush against the cabinet because the opening mechanism protruded out from the back. This trashcan was exactly what we needed. Well-designed, sleek, compact, plenty of capacity, and easy enough to clean (and a lower price than most of the competition). I love that the lid opening mechanism is integrated within the lid and doesn't stick out the back, so it can be flush against a wall. The inside bag holder thing is clever too; no ugly bag overhanging the outside of the can, and it never falls in by accident. Shockingly, I'm pretty sure we're on the same batteries as when we bought it last year! Only thing that could maybe be improved: The sensor seemed a little too sensitive at first, so the lid would open when we walk by. Maybe the sensor angle or sensitivity could be adjusted so it only opens when you want it to...but hardly a deal-breaker for us. I'd give it 9 stars if I could.

This is our second ninestar trashcan. The first one was great but we needed a trash can in our finished basement so we moved our old kitchen one down there and bought this one for the kitchen. We’ve had it for 5.5 years and it still works very well. We have recommended ninestar trash cans to our family members and everyone who has gotten one has loved it and said what an upgrade it was from their previous trash can. One major upgrade from the previous ninestar we had is that the new one keeps the lid open as long as it senses you instead of staying open a set time. The old one would automatically close after a few seconds even if you were still there throwing stuff out. The new one senses that you are still there and stays open. This is a game changer because it doesn’t close on you before you are finished which sometimes made a mess. We couldn’t tell by the pictures if the lid is stainless steel as well as the base. It is not. It is made of a gray plastic. I was hoping it was stainless when I bought it but I actually really like the look of it. It looks clean and wipes easily. It’s great size and fits great tucked away in the corner of our kitchen. I wouldn’t want any bigger for a kitchen garbage because it needs to be taken out due to food being thrown away. You don’t want it to sit too long in your kitchen. I noticed in the picture reviews when I bought that many people did not hide the bag when they set up their trashcan. This makes no sense to me when it looks so much better with the bag hidden. I included pictures to show how to hide the bag. There is a plastic ring that goes in between the lid and the base. You just wrap the bag around the ring and stick the edges of the bag in the base. The ring holds the bag in place. Then you put the lid on and you can’t see the bag at all which looks so much classier than showing the bag. Love this trashcan and I will continue to buy ninestar whenever I need to replace this one!

The garbage can in my kitchen butts up against my lower cabinets and countertop. I purchased this to replace a plastic foot pedal can from a big box store after I painted my kitchen cabinets because the hinge on the old one left marks from where the hinge rubbed against then every time it opened. I love that the hinge for this can is not at the very back of the lid, a feature I was specifically looking for, because it allows me to keep the can against my counter without having to worry about it scuffing the paint. The ring that holds the bag in place also does a much better job than my old can, as the old one would constantly come off if it was getting too full. With this can, when it’s close to getting full I can actually push the contents down a bit to make more room without the bag coming off. I left off a star because even though the sensor works pretty decently as described, but it does open sometimes when you walk by. Also, sometimes when you walk up to it and need to push the button to keep it open longer, it takes a few seconds to reset itself because the sensor goes off, you have to wait for it to close, and then you can push the button. These are minor to me, as the most important thing was for it to not scuff my cabinets & it matches all the other stainless/black appliances in my kitchen.

Best trash can ever. It uses my 13 gal trash bags to the maximum, saving me on trashbag spending. It is clean and my kitchen doesn't smell of trash anymore. Even my 2 yr old now loves to throw her trash away now coz she is fascinated by the automatic sensor opening and closing the lid without getting her hands dirty by touching the lid. and the price is modest too given all the advantages.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I have to give a review about this garbage can. It’s actually a very good one. It’s excellent is reliable and sturdy.

Very nice garbage can, easy to keep clean. Purchased this product almost 2 years ago, have only changed the batteries once! (The first batteries I used were old, and sensor would not work. Almost sent product back, but husband placed new batteries, and sensor worked fine). 😬

Packaging was secure and impressive. The overall material is good although i expected the lid to be also made of stainless like the bin. But, still a nice product and works very well.

Se ve super bonito y es muy funcional, por el tamaño le cabe un chorro de basura. Por el sensor evitar estar tocando la tapa, lo cual lo hace super funcional y pro.

This trash bin is all that and a bag of chips. The motion sensor works very well and doesn't go off every time you walk by, just when you aim at the sensor. It has a trap ring to hold the garbage bag, so no more fold downs, the top lifts and closes with good pace and the stainless steel case cleans up beautifully. It takes two D batteries which do not come with it, and it really has no manual open feature if you don't have the batteries, so buy a four pack that way you are prepared whenever the first two run out. The price of this unti seemed a little dear to me as a senior on a fixed income, but as soon as I set it up I saw the value. It is a quality item with a nice light lid that makes it easy to change the bag. I love the trap ring that holds the bag in place. I just love it.

I had bought an off brand one from a local store, but returned it after only a short period because it was junk. This one has been working wonderfully since I received it. It can be a little sensitive when the batteries are fresh, in that the lid opens when you’re simply walking by it.

Muy buen bote de basura. Obviamente no es barato porque pagas por el lujo de que se abra la tapa sola. Hasta ahorita llevamos solo 2 semanas con él y no ha fallado el sensor, esperemos dure buen tiempo por el precio. En tamaño no es muy grande como hubiese querido, pero es un tamaño razonable para cocina. Hasta ahorita todo bien
