Tramontina 3.17 Gallon Stainless Steel Round Sensor Trash Can with Capped Lid

I've had two sensor cans before that either opened randomly or ignored you completely. This one responds instantly and consistently every time. The capped lid contains odors, the stainless matches my appliances, and it's the perfect size beside my desk. Worth every penny.

Put this in our small office kitchenette and it's been a hit. No more touching a grimy lid with coffee-stained hands. Battery life seems good after three months on the same set. Quiet operation too, which matters in a workspace.

Works exactly as advertised — wave, lid opens, drop trash in, done. Just be aware that 3.17 gallons is a small can. It's ideal for bathroom or office use, not a main kitchen bin. Four stars only because I misjudged the size, not because of any flaw.

As someone with a compromised immune system, touchless disposal isn't a luxury, it's necessary. This can opens reliably, the capped lid keeps smells locked in, and the stainless wipes clean easily. My only wish is that it came in a slightly larger version.

The lid responds to motion as promised, maybe too eagerly — it sometimes opens when I walk past. Battery placement is a little awkward too. That said, the build quality is good and it does keep things sanitary. Mostly satisfied.

Guests always assume this cost way more than it did. The brushed steel finish resists fingerprints surprisingly well and the round shape tucks neatly into a corner. The sensor has never missed a wave.

Started with one for the bathroom, loved it so much I bought two more for bedrooms. They're quiet, responsive, and the capped lid means the dog can't get into the trash anymore. That alone justifies the price for me.

Holds a standard plastic grocery bag perfectly if you know the trick of looping the handles over the rim. Sensor works fine, lid closes softly. Took off a star because the interior could use a better bag-retaining design, but otherwise no complaints.

Loved it at first — worked flawlessly. Then the sensor became unreliable, requiring multiple waves to open, and now sometimes won't open at all even with fresh batteries. Hoping customer service can help, but as of now it's a very expensive manual can.

Hands full of dishes? Wave. Done. Best small appliance purchase this year.
