About the Touchless Trashcan
The 13-gallon, brushed stainless steel Touchless Trashcan is a patented product that's already widely recognized in Europe. Thousands have been sold on infomercials, QVC, and HSN home shopping channels. It also won the 2002 Invention Show, New Household Product Award. It is a 100 percent hands-free operated, wireless, lidded waste disposal system. The built-in Artificial Intelligent (AI) Smart-Chip knows when you need to open trash can, and it does all the openings and closings for you so you don't have to touch or step on anything.

How it Works
The Touchless Trashcan uses patented, invisible, and harmless infrared technology. Simply place your hand or debris about six inches away from the infrared sensor near the lid. It will open instantly when you approach and will close automatically in three seconds after debris has been released and your hand moves away. The lid will remain open if debris or your hand is within the 6-inch range of the infrared sensor. There are two buttons on the front to open and close the lid manually, and a easy to reach on/off switch on the back of the trashcan.

The Benefits of the Touchless Trashcan
This trashcan creates a germ free, odor free, automated environment. It keeps your hands clean while you are cooking or playing with your children. It also helps prevent contamination, which reduces the threat of certain illnesses and infections. Because the trashcan turns an ordinary chore into something fun, your kids will have fun throwing the trash away for you. In addition, the Touchless Trashcan outlasts most of the step-on and hand-touch cans. If you can't touch it, you can't break it! These cans have been opened 100,000 times in laboratory tests, and they're still going strong. In fact, if you open your can 20 times a day, it can last over 10 years. This could actually be the last trashcan you ever buy, which will save you money, mess, and time.

Technology and Eco-Friendly Features
Professionals recognize Touchless Trashcan as the next generation of waste receptacles. Its non-touch hygienic features meet the immediate needs in healthcare facilities and elderly homes. The new SilenX technology makes the closing of the lid even quieter while the "eagle eye" water-resistant sensor features reliable point-n-lock beam technology. In addition, the special energy saving design of Touchless Trashcan enables its four "D" size heavy duty batteries to support up to 10,000 consecutive openings and closings, or more than one year of use in non-frequent circumstances. There's also never a "fallen bag" problem with the Touchless Trashcan. The specially designed garbage bag retainer ring tightly holds the edges of the bag to prevent it from falling, and it seals the odors inside. You can use regular plastic garbage bags or even grocery bags, so there's no need to buy special garbage bags which many high-end garbage cans require.

The Touchless Trashcan will improve the look of your kitchen, giving it an ultra-modern look and feel. It comes with one year limited manufacturer's warranty and a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee.

5 out of 5 stars Fun garbage can!   June 30, 2009
M. Martin
I love this garbage can! It's fun to use and actually fairly quiet, unlike some other reviews. My only negative thought is that the inner ring is difficult to work with in taking bags off or on. However, it does hold that bag in place!


5 out of 5 stars Great Product   June 29, 2009
Kathleen Mcgrogan (Florida)
This is the second can I will have. The first one lasted over five years and we absolutely loved it. Finally the little piece that helps it to open broke and we miss this can so much. We stand over the garbage waiting for it to open LOL. When we go to other peoples homes it is the same thing you really get used to it. I highly recommend this product and hope this one lasts as long as the first.


3 out of 5 stars Not As Fast   June 28, 2009
Leslie Carlson (Sugar Land, Texas)
We had one of these before. Not the same brand but very similar. Well actually, identical but no brand on it. This one just seems a little slower to respond that the other one. We have to move our hand a few times over the sensor to get it to open. I love the trash can, just comparing it to the off brand, it is a little slower.



1 out of 5 stars I hate this trash can with a passion   June 27, 2009

I normally don't write Amazon reviews but I hate this thing so much so I just can't hold myself back. We got it about six months ago. It seemed fine at first but then I started realizing how terrible it is.

* it can get moldy easily since food going in may touch the sides of the top part of the trash can as its going in - this can be pretty common if you're cleaning scraps off a wide cutting board.
* you need to hold your hand over the sensor to get it to open - which means that the trash can may get gross when your hands are wet and you try to throw something away. it also means you have to wait for it to open.
* occasionally the motor gets into a state where it only opens partway
* after a few months of use, the motor no longer works at all. the trash can opens about a quarter of an inch

I don't even want to attempt to fix this thing. We're getting a new trash can this weekend.
