NINESTARS DZT-50-28 Automatic Touchless Motion Sensor Rectangular Trash Can, 13 Gal, Black Trim

I’m really happy with the NINESTARS DZT-50-28SL Original Touchless Automatic Motion Sensor Trash Can! It looks even better in person with its sleek silver design, and the touchless feature works smoothly. It’s the perfect size at 13 gallons, making it ideal for daily use. The only thing to note is that the 2 D batteries aren’t included, so I had to buy them separately, but it was totally worth it. The quality feels great so far, and it adds a modern touch to my space. I just got it, so I need to see how it’ll work with time, although I can highly recommend!

I don't typically write reviews, much less for products I bought over a year ago, but I wanted to give a shoutout to Nine Stars for this one. We searched long and hard to find a nice-looking stainless steel trash can for our kitchen that actually fit in our space. The automatic lid was honestly just a bonus, but boy am I happy to have it.Our countertop extends out beyond the end of the cabinet, so other trashcans we tried would clang loudly against it when they opened. Or they couldn't be put flush against the cabinet because the opening mechanism protruded out from the back.This trashcan was exactly what we needed. Well-designed, sleek, compact, plenty of capacity, and easy enough to clean (and a lower price than most of the competition). I love that the lid opening mechanism is integrated within the lid and doesn't stick out the back, so it can be flush against a wall. The inside bag holder thing is clever too; no ugly bag overhanging the outside of the can, and it never falls in by accident. Shockingly, I'm pretty sure we're on the same batteries as when we bought it last year!Only thing that could maybe be improved: The sensor seemed a little too sensitive at first, so the lid would open when we walk by. Maybe the sensor angle or sensitivity could be adjusted so it only opens when you want it to...but hardly a deal-breaker for us. I'd give it 9 stars if I could.

Had this for a few months. Really functional and operates as it should. Not too heavy. Nice stainless steel finish and easy to keep clean. I like the additional piece that holds the trash bag in place. Take just one battery which lasts. You can work it automatically or manually. I love that I never have to touch the trash can to put trash in. Really convenient

I really like that this is motion sensored. I chose this size because it fits the 13 gallon trash bags - anything larger and bags are hard to find in my area, and it was at a decent price compared to the other models. I was happy to use the 2 sample trash bags they sent along. They seemed quite strong and wouldn't tear easily. I don't know what I had put in my trash can for that first use, but something became liquid or had liquid in it that I didn't realize. So when I took the EKO trash bag out, there was a ton of liquid in the bottom of the can. So their trash bags will leak just like any other bag will. I put that bag into the 2nd bag they sent and disposed of it. However, when I went to clean the trash can out, I realized something I hadn't thought of and really don't like. First, there is not a removable plastic bin inside the can that you can take out and go wash out. I read it didn't have one, but I didn't think much about it at the time when I ordered it. So that's a bummer when you have liquid spills in the can. Also, when I go to empty the strainer from the sink, I bang it against the inside of the trash can. Obviously, with no plastic liner inside it is a lot louder when you do that. Secondly, there are 'air vent' holes in the bottom side of the trash can. If you wind up with liquid in the bottom as I did, be prepared. Either soak it all up with a towel or paper towels before washing, or lift straight up to empty into your sink or outside. I failed at that not having realized the holes were there, and wound up with a mess on my floor. To compensate for this, I now put 2 trash bags in the trash can to hopefully prevent or limit any future spills. To-date (approximately one month as of this writing), the motion sensor has worked fine. I like that you can press the open button a few seconds to keep it open for a while (it will eventually close). I actually almost wish it was a little more sensitive for the motion as you approach it though that may not be so good with little ones running around. :) All in all we do like it, but just wish it had the plastic bin inside like the other models do.

I replaced a somewhat similar trash can with this one. The former was also motion sensing but had become unreliable. It would open, then it would. It would open randomly and never shut.This unit is working great as a replacement. It’s performed perfectly in opening and closing accurately. I don’t use much lighting (ok none) early in the morning and yet it still opens in the dark when I wave over the sensor.I like the square design as it holds more than the round one we had before so space is not wasted in the back. I’ve noticed it does seem to hold in odors well and the bag retaining loop is nice. Overall a great trashcan that isn’t garbage.
