EKO 13.2 Gallon Touchless Motion Sensor Kitchen Trash Can, Matte Stainless

It’s a nice trash can. We just moved and don’t have a ton of space so I liked that this one is fairly narrow while still maintaining a decent capacity. The look is really nice and I’m glad I went with the silver. It takes 4 AA batteries. I originally thought of buying a rechargeable one but 1) it was wider, and 2) if the charging block breaks, that’s it. I don’t anticipate to change the batteries often, however, so I’m ok with it. The sneak works really well. The lid stays open for 5 seconds and then closes. 5 seconds is a good amount of time. Overall, it’s a good trash can. Perfect for us that don't have a specific spot for one.

This trash can is so cool! I don’t even have to touch it—it just opens by itself like magic when I wave my hand! It makes me feel like a wizard. The top goes up super fast and then closes all quiet, like a ninja. Plus, it’s really big, so I can throw lots of stuff away without it getting full too fast. It’s made of shiny silver metal, and it looks so fancy in the kitchen. It doesn’t get all messy with fingerprints, and it never smells bad because the lid closes tight. I used to not like throwing trash away, but now it’s fun! I just wave, and boom—it opens! This is the best trash can ever! It makes cleaning up easy, and I don’t even have to touch gross stuff. If you want to feel like a superhero with a super cool trash can, you should definitely get this one. I love it so much!

I purchased this trash can for my kitchen because it matched my recycling can next to it. I sometimes have dirty hands so I thought this EKO trash can would be good. WRONG!! There is a problem with this garbage can that the company is aware of and did nothing to repair the issue The motorized lid is all controlled from the lid itself, and thus. the batteries are in the lid itself. Not a good idea!! The battery compartment in the lid has a small piece of black plastic holding the batteries in! Hello, did anyone ever hear of Issac Newton? Gravity people!! When you touch the lid or activate the motor it loosens the battery cover, and guess what happens next? Right, the battery cover falls into the garbage and you may not realize it until the batteries finally get loose and also fall into the garbage! You may not know it. Like me, until the motor no longer works. It’s at that time that you realize that both the battery cover and all the batteries are gone and was just picked up by the garbage company! Of course you wouldn’t know it until the can’t open the lid!!! So I did research and found a number for EKO in China. They finally found a woman who can speak English. I explained to her what my problem was and she said , yes other customers had the same problem. Well duh, if customers are having a problem why don’t you correct it? No answer from her. She responded to my inquiry by saying someone will check it out and get back to me!! If you bet that no one would respond to me you win. Of course no one got back to me and worse yet, I had the product for 32 days and they refused to help me!! Two days over and they wouldn’t listen to me. So now what? I have a non responsive company in China and Amazon not help with a defective product two days over the 30 day time frame. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FORGET THIS PRODUCT! You will wind up like me with an expensive trash can with no lid. UPDATE: It has now been 3 months and they never return your calls! So now I have this expensive trash can without any lid! I’ve spoken to people at EKO USA, and they lie to you. They say: “Oh, we’ve heard about that problem and someone will get back to you shortly!” Shortly is 3 months with no call or email. Hey, we’re talking about a tiny piece of plastic that holds the batteries in place and they can’t even send that to me? If you purchase this can and have a problem, FORGET IT! EKO USA doesn’t have the courtesy to respond to you!! EKO USA- NO FORGET IT AND LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!

Nice upgrade to replace the one I had for about 5 years. I think that one only broke bc my 1 year old kept messing with it and the hinge got overworked. It looks nice in my kitchen, is quiet and takes less batteries than the last (4 instead of 6)

Great size and trash can!! Using it as a compost bin next to the trash and recycling bins and it’s working out really well! I love the built in compartment for charcoal or scented pad on the inside of the lid. No chance of losing a stick on holder in trash a hundred times here! It’s not noisy, opens smoothly and does not slam down to close, and traps odors inside. It has streamlined composting for us which used to either be the implied job of one person - me - to make sure everything made it in, or a daily battle. Now it’s right by the trash can so no avoiding it.

This trash can is almost perfect. The motion sensor is super convenient and works reliably, the size is ideal for my kitchen and fits nicely under the counter, and the stainless steel finish really is fingerprint resistant, which keeps it looking clean. That said, I ran into two problems with the unit I received. First, one of the foot pieces kept falling out when I unboxed it. I’m not sure why it wasn’t secure, but I used a bit of hanging putty to keep it in place and that solved the problem. The bigger issue is the deodorizer compartment. It simply does not stay closed when using the EKO filter refills that are supposed to be made for this can. I even tried trimming the filter smaller, but it still pops open. This makes the deodorizer feature essentially unusable, which is frustrating since it was one of the selling points of this model. Overall, it’s a stylish, convenient trash can that I use every day, but the deodorizer flaw keeps it from being a true 5-star product.

Love it. I got it to keep the my Goldendoodle out of the trash, but after a few days of watching us, she figured out how to open. We had to turn the lid around so she couldn't open it!

I had a more expensive brand which failed after 11 years. I planned to replace it with the same brand, but found it to be very expensive when compared to the EKO, so I took a chance. This can came well packaged in a heavy duty box, and is compact and the stainless and black coloring is very attractive. The unit functions as advertised. The motion sensor works well and is very quiet when operating. The unit sits solidly on the floor with no wobble. I like that it will fit right against the wall and still open fully. The opening to the bin liner is smaller than my old one, but seems sufficient to get trash into the liner. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

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. Update February 2026: Still working perfectly and still looks brand new. Quality, Quality product. Highly recommend EKO!!!

Certes, ce n’est qu’une poubelle, on va dire mais autant en avoir une bonne et celle-ci est très bonne

Eu li e reli diversas avaliações desta lixeira com a visão gringa, então agora vamos a opinião brasileira. Primeiro é preciso entender que não é barata, você pode encontrar outros modelos com preços mais acessíveis e que cumprem a mesma função, afinal é uma lixeira. Porém nenhuma delas vai entregar o nível de beleza que a Deluxe Mirage-T. Acabamento premium de verdade, revestida de aço escovado que faz com que ela se torne parte da decoração. Eleva o nível da cozinha de forma que nem parece uma lixeira. O tamanho é perfeito para 3/4 pessoas. Abertura e fechamento bem silenciosos e tem a opção de deixar a tampa aberta e fechar quando precisar. Ela tem um compartimento para filtro de carvão ativado para reter os maus odores, porém não veio o filtro. Eles enviam também algumas amostras do saco de lixo da mesma marca, nada muito diferente do que já temos no Brasil e achei muito caro fazer a reposição, vou utilizar o que temos aqui mesmo. Caso esteja em dúvida quanto a aquisição, eu recomendo caso o valor esteja dentro de suas possibilidades (a Amazon parcela… rsrs) e que queria uma lixeira que complementa a decoração da cozinha, ou melhor, uma lixeira que não precisa ficar escondida.

Estamos muy contentos con este cesto de basura automático, funciona perfectamente, el sensor abre la tapa rápido y sin problemas, es muy práctico y cómodo para la cocina porque no tienes que tocar la tapa con las manos, además tiene buen tamaño y buen diseño, muy satisfechos con la compra, lo recomendamos. ⭐

Me gustó, muy util
