I bought this to use as a diaper bin and it's been a true blessing. Even with it filled to capacity we only smell the nastiness for the brief moment the lid is open. Otherwise you'd never know the horrors that awaited inside lol! It's been running strong on the same batteries since I bought it. Bags are easy to replace and the removable bag ring is fantastic. With the top back on the bag is secure and completely concealed. I'm not sure how much the charcoal filter helps, but my main concern was odor when the can is closed, and for that purpose it works perfectly! As an added bonus the unit looks fantastic!
Update: I've been using this daily for six months or so and it is a workhorse! Still running on the same batteries I purchased when I received it and blocking diaper odor just as effectively!
Update: So, after working perfectly since last November, a couple weeks ago the lid decided to give up on me suddenly and completely! I figured the batteries had finally died, so I swapped in a fresh set and nothing happened. No light, no movement, nothing at all. I almost decided to just write it off, but figured I might as well try customer care. I sent them an email with a screen shot of my original order and description of the problem. To my pleasant surprise I got an email back within 24 hours with an incident number and instructions to call in for service. I called in thinking they were going to want me to send in the lid, but they surprised me by saying their policy had changed and I just had to pay a $9.95 service/shipping and handling fee and a new lid would be sent out. They didn't want the old one back at all. Since it would cost more than that to just ship the original lid in to them I had no issue paying the fee. About a week later I received my brand new lid! I really can'take say enough about the quality customer service I received from itouchless. It was all very simple and because of that I'm leaving my review at five stars!

I've waited almost a year to write this review because I wanted to be sure this product was long-lasting. We have a tiny kitchen in our beach house and a tiny and weirdly shaped space for a trash can. I researched FOREVER (just ask my husband) and finally settled on this one. It fits perfectly in the space and has surpassed my expectations in every way. It's attractive and fits a TON of trash in a very discreet way. I love it.
I bought this trash can 8 years ago. At the time, it was hard to find any stainless steel trash can for an affordable price, so the fact that this was the most reasonable and it had the automated lid seemed like a pretty easy choice. It still looks great and works great.
You can wave over the sensor to open the lid, or there is a button on the front of it to open the lid and keep it open. The lid does a great job of holding any odors in while its closed. Honestly I've never bothered trying to change out the carbon filters in it to use the advertised 'deodorizer,' and looking at the price right now, I wouldn't start either.
Some review mentioned the cord not being included - there is no AC adapter, it's battery powered, and states that in the review. It states that the batteries last for up to a year, but personally, I find they last much longer than that for us and we use it regularly.
Standard kitchen bags are used. There is a plastic ring inside that tucks the top of the bag in, so you don't have bag hanging out over the edges. It does a great job of keeping the bag in place even if you place very heavy items in the garbage.
UPDATE 7/18/2018
I've now owned this product for a couple of years.
Pros:
The dimensions are perfect for a small to medium household. Given the square-like shape, particularly on the top opening, allows for larger trash pieces to be seeded into the trash can.
Guests always comment on this trash can - for its simplistic and modern appeal, but also for the automated sensor that opens the lid. It's incredibly smooth and easy to operate, and once you go this route - you'll probably won't ever want to go to a manual trash can again. In addition, the filter provides great odor management.
The batteries lasted over 8 months for me before having to change them out.
Cons:
The filter (housing unit for the activated charcoal bag to reduce odor) can become dislodged and lost in the trash. I've mysteriously lost and have had to replace the filter three times now. Despite this, I still love this trash can and would recommend it. The filter is not necessary.
I just received this trash can with A.C. adaptor and it's not even turning on!!!
I am so disappointed!!!
Update ( 1 week lator)
I contacted the customer service and they replied fast. They sent me a new lid with adaptor and now It's working.
I am really happy with both customer service and trash can.

Brand Story
iTouchless makes everyday objects smarter, easier to use, and more attractive. We were the first to market with the touchless sensor trash can nearly 20 years ago, and we continue to release innovative home products every year.
I waited to review to make sure it works. After having a cheap plastic can with a lid that wouldn't stay shut for weeks I broke down and ordered this. It works. I just hold whatever is getting tossed over it and it opens. It also closes when you are done! The bad reviews about the bags slipping in are user error. Read the directions and install the bags properly with the ring !
Update: It is about 5 months later and I still have not had to replace the batteries! And I open and close this can A LOT! Very happy with this purchase.
I know it’s a garbage can but I LOVE it. I bought 2 - one for trash and one for recycling. I love the squarer shape and can fit both side by side in my kitchen. It has totally helped my family actually recycle having it so conveniently located. (Yes they’re lazy.) The step cans never lasted in our house - always breaking so the automatic lids are great! The plug is a nice option but I don’t have an outlet near the cans so I use batteries.
I first purchased this item in September 2009 it is used many many times a day and it work very well without any problems and the batteries really do last for a very long time. I used four Duracell batteries and wrote the date on them and got almost 2 years used out of them, for me there is no reason to buy the a/c adapter the batteries will work just fine. This can is in my kitchen so it open and close many times a day without problem. I just notice a problem with the closing of the lib after eight years of use, so did not even give it a second though went on Amazon to see if it was still out there and ordered my replacement can. I like also that you can use any brand of can liners with it and the ring that the liners hang on will keep it from falling into the can. It was money very well spend.
After about a month with it we give it 5 stars. Works perfectly, you figure out pretty quickly what motions open the lid. designed so typical kitchen bags are filled completely before needing emptying. Love the touch-free and the fact top closes tightly afterwards..no odors unlike the under counter one we had previously used.
Update: 6 months in and still love it. Bought it for the convenience, but noticed can hold much more than plastic trash receptacles can because you can compress trash into it with its rigid metal sides. Other advantages: tops seals nicely when closed, so no odors, batteries last a long time...haven’t needed to replace yet!
18 month update: still love it! Looks and works great.
In 2015 I purchased the product and after 3+ years I received their newer model. I am very impressed with that. I have made a quick test and raised the review to 5 stars. However, I see a lot of people found my review useful so want to give my honest review after using it a few more months.
1. Mechanical unit improved
I have used the same battery in both old and new system. New model trashcan opens the lid fast and closed automatically. Old model could not open the lid. See the picture.
2. Sensor seems to be more sensitive.
iTouchless Deodorizer Touch-Free Sensor 13-Gallon Automatic Stainless-Steel Trash CanRead it before you buy it. I purchased first one in 2013 then when it broke, I considered it as bad luck. My Second stopped worked a week back. It makes humming noise but lid does not open. I changed batteries but still no luck. I assumed the Lid opening mechanism is broken. However since it was purchased only few month back, I called the iTouchless customer service. They wanted to leave my no and never contacted. Eventually I decided to disassemble the header part. There are 6 screws at the back and then you will see 4 screeds attached to the motor. I took it and found the connecting hinge that push and pull the lid is made with toy grade plasic. Very thin and fragile. Its broken and you cannot repair it with glue. Then for curiosity i also opened the iTouchless can bought earlier. It had exactly same issue. I am frustrated and felt ripped off. It was better to purchase a Trash can in 1/4 price that can be opened with toe press.
I love Amazon products. I also trusted high reviews. Then I see most of the reviews were done right after the product was purchased. I was so excited first few months. I also unfortunately told my friends about this product. I also learnt that if I had to send it to repair I have to pay extra money!
