NinestarsDZT-80-35 Automatic Touchless Infrared Motion Sensor Trash Can, 21 Gal 80L, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Base (Oval, Silver/Brush Lid) Trashcan, SS

I read the reviews and hope this lasts but I don't care because everything breaks these days and have really learned to accept that fact. I live for today and what makes my wife and I happy, life is short.We like the fact that it is large (nevermind the 21 gallon size for the bags, I use 33 gallon to not have the headache of FULL bags anf a big mess.)It works like it should but don't place it a high traffic hallway.Its wonderful the way it is made with the ring to hold the bag, unlike foot pedal lids that have channels for the rod that always get dirty with garbage slime.The larger opening this one has versus the older model is a must have for to go boxes and just overall usefullness.I would recommed this product, makes life a little easier as a husband who has to take out the garbage and as with most wives who don't care about the garbage and just stuff it and stuff it. MEN, it works!

The media could not be loaded. The can worked great for about 4 months or so then started going out of time meaning the lid would either not go up all the way or shut to quick to where if you were tossing food paper plates the lid would come down on the plate making a mess before you could get it into the canThen now at 5-6 months it’s doing what’s in the video not opening all the way and instantly closingNow at 2 weeks beyond that it stopped opening all together, I’m guessing they used cheap plastic gearing that wore out, granted we’re foster parents with a lot of kids the trash can gets used quite a bit but when doing QC on a project before production all that should be taken into account, and usually they time it just after the warranty runs out so in this case 2 years, I would of been ok with getting 2 years but 6 months is unacceptable and little to no response from support is also unacceptable so if this could get negative stars it would.It has a 2 year warranty but does no good if the company doesn’t respond or take care of its customers! It’s been 16 days since they said 4-5 days for a rep to contact usSo at this point we’re just going to cut our losses. hopefully this review will help those looking to buy an automatic can to stay away from this brandAnd actually we contacted them at the initial onset of problems so in all actuality it’s been about 3 months we’ve been dealing with a TRASH trash can , I’ve had company’s replace a product on the first call within a day or 2 having a replacement without even having to send back the bad one, that’s how it’s supposed to work but this company doesn’t care -butThey will! video evidence don’t lie

Update: After a short spell, they sent me an entirely new lid and the can is working exactly as expected. I'd but it again in a heartbeat. Changing rating from 1 to 5 stars. Buy this if you want an automatic (sensor) garbage can.The garbage can is exactly what I wanted. After 2 months of use in my kitchen, the lid would make a loud snapping noise as it closed and opened. Several days later, it stopped opening and closing all together.I emailed ninestars and got a reply back within a few weeks instructing me to do a reset on the unit. Despite already having done so, I did it again. No difference. The gears are stripped out. I emailed them again December 18th (exactly 1 month ago) and haven't heard a peep from them since.The garbage can is useless without a functioning lid. It's basically a stainless steel bucket at this point.I would have given this 5 stars had they been more responsive and taken care of me. The can is a great idea... obviously not very well built.

I bought this primarily because I have people of all ages in the house that have issues throwing things away ( don't we all) This "cool' way of disposing of their trash has got them in the mode of cleaning up after themselves as they should. ( yes, I'm talking from 4 yrs all the way up to 58 yrs)I LOVE IT... I love you never have to touch it. ( except to empty and change the bag) I love that it's 21 gallons instead of the traditional 13. I love that it looks nice, never gets touched so I never have to wipe off fingerprints. I love that it actually works.. sometimes a bit too well, when you walk by it, it sometimes opens expecting to be 'fed' as my grandson says. We just moved it a little so the sensor doesn't get accidently triggered. My only issue is when it opens, it tends to drag the smell of what's in the can out with the motion of the lid. I never noticed that on any other can.. I mean - all of the lids open, but I guess this one opens with more oooomph and actually pulls the smell out. I think I Febreeze stick-on will do the trick.. will let you know!!!

The media could not be loaded. This type of garbage can works out well for my household the one that I currently had will not be able to hold that much. I would always have to pull the bag out midweek and keep it on the side because it was not as big as the one I just purchased, there’s plenty of room you could fill it up. There’s holes at the bottom Rim that you put on top. I wish it had a better locking mechanism for the bag. I can’t tell you that much on the battery life because I just got it. It’s really easy to open. and very easy to remove the garbage out of it the mechanics open up very well. I put my hand over it, and it automatically closes. The plastic does not seem as durable as I but I’m sure it’ll last a long time. The garbage can is pretty it’s made of thin But Strong enough
