Stainless Steel Motion Sensor 6.3-gallon Trash Can
A nice smaller sized garbage can. I used to have the larger version of this same can, which uses 13 gallon bags, but you cant get that on Great Offer Stock any more. They now sell the itouchless version, which is uglier, but functions the same. Anyway, this can is a little bit bulky, and it would be nice if they made a 3-4 gallon size, or even a smaller one you could use for compost. But if you want a fairly compact office or bath trash can, this works.
the mechanism is a bit noisy, but nothing offensive. It closes tightly, and perhaps a bit too harshly. But at leas it stays closed. A problem with a lot of these cans is that the lid doesnt seat fully. Then you get more garbage stink coming out if it's used in the kitchen, or a bath where you dont flush paper.
The controls work fine. Press open, and it stays open. Then close to close it from that position. Has an on off switch on the back that is useful for when you dont want it to open. There is no power adapter port however, so this can only run on 4 D batteries. One thing you can do to save yourself trouble, get AA rechargeables, and buy the D adaptors. Then you can never worry about batteries. I cant say how long a fresh set of alkaline D batteries will last, but usually you can get a long run out of them, perhaps a year, from what Ive heard others say and my own experience with similar cans.
Has the typical ring on top method of securing the garbage bag. The one thing Ive never liked about these cans is that they havent figured out a way to make the ring secure the bag so that the edge is still inside the can. It always ends up detracting from the look when you see the top of the bag with the drawstring on the outside of the can, just below the lid. They should really double wall the interior so the bag edge remains inside. Oh well. Perfection is hard to come by these days.
