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!

Edit # 2. I've now owned this trash can for about 3 years. It still works fine, but the gear mechanism is starting to slow down. Sometimes it won't close automatically. I think the gears are all clogged up with slime. gross but probably true. Anyway, got the ol' moneys worth out of it. I might do a detailed clean and try to wash out the mechanisms, lube it a bit and see if it comes back to life. ***EDIT**** I've now owned this trash can for about 16 months now. Still works exactly the same as when I purchased it. I have not had any sensor issues / gear issues, or any malfunctions. Now I'm spoiled by automatic trash cans. Quite happy with the product. *** End Edit *** I wanted a new trash can because I was really sick of the old foot pedal one. It wasn't so much the foot pedal being an issue, but the old can had an insert that came out every time you pulled the bag out, and had a poor implementation for keeping the bag from falling in the can...hated it. I thought an automatic one would be fun. It looks nice and is effective, does the job as advertised. I really like the holes they punch in the bottom of the can to avoid a vacuum effect when pulling the bag out. 4/5 times I can pull it out with one hand. What a great, simple innovation. Of course, if you have liquid that breaks through the bag, you might have liquid on the floor, in my case the carpet. Hasn't been an issue yet. It is slightly irritating to have to switch off the switch, pull the whole lid off and place it somewhere in order to change the bag, but not a big deal. Not nearly as irritating as the old can with its inner lining. The lid has a snug fit. The sidewalls are thinner then I expected, so if your can had any manufacturing flaws I can see where the lid might be a bit of a hassle to get on or off, or issues with the plastic ring staying put, but no problems here. The ring which holds the bag in place looked like a bigger pain then it is. It's actually pretty easy to deal with, and it is quite effective in holding even a very full bag in place, and hides it from view. I pack the bags full, compressing the trash until it is totally full before changing. Unlike another reviewer, I've had zero issues with the ring falling out of place or bags slipping. (I use bags with drawstrings which may help with that as they have a thicker top) When you pull a 14 gallon bag out of the can, it is all the way full, not wasting much of any bag or allowing it to become exploding full. They did a good job there. From the reviews I really thought I'd have a problem with the sensor as the can is in a location where we walk right by it constantly. I was pleasantly surprised that it doesn't ever accidentally open unless I specifically put my hand or trash directly over the front of the can. The time the lid stays open is good for me, and it scares the dog and my 2 year old when it closes which is absolutely hilarious. (in a light-hearted way, the baby isn't traumatized or anything.) I'm fine with the size of the opening, it could be a bit bigger. I think if you want a bigger opening you might go with one of those more expensive 18, or 22 gallon cans with automatic lids. But they're massive. Bought the A/C adaptor which works, the cord isn't very long (4-5 foot tops I'd say) but that wasn't a problem for my location. The action of the lid is the only place I have some real concerns. When the sensor is triggered, the lid opens all the way, then after a split second relaxes down a couple inches, decreasing the size of the opening. It didn't do this the first day I bought it and it has only been a month or so. Sometimes it doesn't do that and stays all the way open. It hasn't caused a problem yet but kinda makes me scrunch my nose like, huh, 70 bucks huh? I guess I thought I would be much more excited about this, but it is just a freakin garbage can yes? I'm still happy, but just slightly deflated from what my expectations were. Not a lot of options on the market in this price range. The build quality is medium, no more no less. For the money, the sidewalls and lid plastic should be thicker, gear mechanism should be more robust. I would have to say I don't have a lot of confidence this will last for years, though perhaps it will prove me wrong. I am satisfied with my purchase thus far. Its a garbage can. Read more
