EXCELLENT. WELL DESIGNED. WELL EXECUTED. LOOKS GREAT!
Okay, I love this garbage can (and who loves a garbage can) but I have extra requirements because I live in an apartment, I have seven (7) bird feeders and every day I have to clean the feeders, clean the guardrails and keep my terrace from smelling. Birds are fun but gross and I clean everything with paper towels. I have automatic soap dispensers and automatic garbage cans to limit the contact and alleviate the need for me to clean my entire kitchen every day.This automatic garbage can is great. You have several different ways to open it, you can put your had over the sensor and open it each time you come in from the terrace or you can touch the touch the first button and the lid stays open. I know most of these automatic cans do that but the majority have you physically open the lid your self which is actually a draw on the battery and in the end will kill a battery. This can has a setting for it, and it really helps. Waiving my hand over the sensor while carrying paper towels full of bird poo would not be the most sanitary moves.Another thing I really like is the sensor. Motion detection is not as trigger happy as all the other (seven) automatic garbage cans I have owned, it actually triggers from the back instead of the front so you do not get as many spurious lid opening, which I find really annoying and again, deplete those batteries. Noise level is almost nil.Build quality is amazing, shipping was excellent and you can see the designers have thought this can out a lot. It has a rubber bottom with some weight to it and does not slide around my kitchen which is excellent as it sits at the opening to my kitchen. Physically it is narrow enough so it does not impede foot traffic and it sits against my wall without traveling (that rubber bottom). The on/off switch is in back and easy to get to. The battery compartment has a button that must be turned to open to get to the batteries. Each battery has its own space with guides so the batteries go where they belong and do not move. I find this ingenious and there are so many complaints out there about the batter compartment. The can arrived in pristine condition with no scratches, dents or surface marks. Manufacturers supply you with ten EKO trash bags and they are right, those bags fit perfectly and in the end cost less because you can use the entire bag. I did try Glad and Hefty first and they did not work as well. The only thing I would comment on is the the battery housing is larger than average and the physical opening into the can is smaller than most but I have to honest, I don’t care. This motion sensor can is really well designed.

Good looking, hoping it lasts
We have owned a prior model from this same brand, and the lid was defective and recalled. The company at that time wasn’t great about honoring the recall, either. We’re taking a chance on this company again and hoping they’ve made some improvements.We haven’t used it much yet, but so far, it’s what you would expect. The lid responds to a swipe above the sensor. It closes a few seconds later. If you want to keep it open for a while, there’s an open button that will hold it open for 20 minutes, which is helpful if you are cleaning or doing food prep and don’t want to deal with the lid during that time. And there’s a close button if you want to close it. A power switch is on the back, and the lid takes 4 AA batteries.This did come with a small supply of their branded bags, which is nice for getting started, but any kitchen sized bag will do. There is no bin within the bin, as was the case with our prior model, so you’re just stuffing a bag into the shell of the can. My wife hated the bin within the bin, so she prefers this current setup. There’s also a bag clip to hold the bag in place, but it is kinda cumbersome to use and I do not think we’ll be using it.All in all, they’ve made some improvements. The lid mechanism seems quieter and even a bit faster/smoother than our previous model but that could easily just be a first impression on a brand-new unit. The stainless look is very nice. I do wish the mouth of the lid was more open so less garbage comes into contact with it to make cleaning easier.Time will tell if this starts eating batteries like our last one from this company did, or if the lid dies altogether and requires replacement. I do see that a couple of different replacement lids are available–either the exact lid this comes with, or the deluxe model’s lid; both will apparently work on this can. I have ordered the deluxe lid just to have a second lid, because I remember all too well what happened with our last one. And a replacement lid is certainly less expensive than an entirely new can.So, fingers crossed. Giving 5 stars for now because it’s doing everything it’s supposed to. All in all, I would recommend this. It seems improved overall, even with a couple of the improvements which seem unnecessary.

It works as described
To be honest I wasn’t sure that I would like this product because I liked the basket I had been using for the last 5 years. But my old one died so I thought I would give this brand a try. It’s great. The base with the rubber is good so it doesn’t slid around. It is sturdier than my old basket. I really like that when it opens it is silent. My old basket didn’t have the on off switch. The switch is convenient when you are emptying a bowl so it stays open. A great product that I’m glad I purchased.

The best trashcan ever!
This automatic trashcan is hands down my favorite trashcan ever! The feature that really sets it apart is the ability to keep the lid open for an extended period of time – it’s a total game-changer. It’s especially useful when you’ve got your hands full of messy or dirty items, making it super convenient and hygienic. The automatic opening mechanism is smooth and reliable, and the design is sleek and modern. I’m so glad I made the switch to this trashcan – it’s a must-have for any home!

I never thought I would buy a self opening & this pricey of a garbage can. I can’t believe how much I love this piece. I’m getting back surgery in January & due to the nerve damage down the legs & in feet have been having trouble using the step functions on a regular can. I was constantly tripping so actually bought this for more of a safety issue for me. I also need surgery on my elbow for nerve damage in my hand (so much fun getting old lol) and with this I can use both hands to hold any garbage & no longer dropping items around the old can. Having said that, now that I have this can I would buy it even if I wasn’t having these issues. It’s beautiful & holds so much more garbage than my old round one. This model comes with 12 of the EKO white garbage bags but as others have stated the Costco ones fit perfectly. I haven’t used the deodorant compartment yet, I’ll have to see how much odor the garbage gives off since this one holds so much more than our old one. I’ve only had it a few days so will update if there are any issues. It is pricey but it’s worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you EKO for this quality product.Update February 2025: Still working perfectly. Because this trash can holds so much more garbage than my old round one I did find more odor about 3/4 full but only noticed when I opened the can. Closed it does seem to hold the odor in. I decided to try the odor control pads which definitely help so I don’t have to change the garbage bag until it’s full. You don’t really need them but I do like them as I’m sensitive to smells. I am also using the EKO trash bags provided as I wanted to see how they performed and they are a strong bag. There is no stretch to them (as with the Costco bags) but they fit like a glove and have yet to get a rip in any of them. Once I’m out of my costco bags I will be buying the EKO trash bags as they are stronger than the costco ones. When taking the garbage bag out there is no ‘suction’ as what would happen with my old round can and I would struggle pulling the bag out. These bags come out very easily which doesn’t seem like a big deal to some but with my back issues not having to struggle with getting the bag out is a big plus for me. Quality product all the way around. Very, very satisfied with these purchases and highly recommend.

Chulada de botes, no están baratos pero lo valen, gran calidad

Das melhores compras que fiz! Feito de grande material, robusto mas leve. O sensor é de altíssima qualidade e ainda temos a opção de abrir manualmente o que faz com que a tampa fique aberta até a fecharmos ou através de sensor ou novamente manualmente. Agora até dá gosto fazer lixo 🤣
