Product Reviews of iTouchless 42 Liter Automatic Stainless Steel Touchless Trash Can NX
Product Review: Bags too short
Summary: 1 Stars
The ring that holds the bag on top collapses into the can when you attempt to compact garbage that inside to make more room. 13 gallon bags are too short for it. I plan on returning it as soon as possible.Product Review: Don't Waste Your Time & Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have purchased three of these and after less than one year none of them are working. On one can the plastic gear that operates the hinge broke. On another, the plastic lid broke where the hinge attaches. And on the third, it has never worked on battery power - only on a/c. iTouchless has agreed to honor their one-year warranty, but only if I pay shipping both ways. That means I will have paid shipping charges three times. Product Review: on sale at Costco.com $49.99 including shipping

Product Review: Best Trash Can Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The itouchless trashcan has been amazing. No more getting your hands "dirty" opening the trash can lids. Wave your hand over the eye and it immediately opens. This trash can is very stylish and would be a wonderful addition to anyone's kitchen!! Product Review: ***Great Kitchen Garbage Can***
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased the 23-gallon iTouchless Stainless Steel NX trash can for use in my kitchen. I have always hated changing bags every 2-3 days in the woefully inadequate 13-gallon standard kitchen-style cans, so I decided to upgrade to a much larger can. My appliances are all stainless steel, so the cheap, ugly, plastic Walmart-style cans were not an option for me.
Although many would say $150.00 is too much to spend on a kitchen garbage can go ahead and price the somewhat comparable one's at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Linens & Things - you will quickly find out any stainless garbage can is expensive.
Now onto the review of the product:
The 23-gallon trash can is a great size and footprint for a larger kitchen. It looks right at home if you have stainless appliances. The body of the can is actually made of stainless steel and not some faux, lookalike material. With that said please realize you are not going to get a really heavy gauge steel, but it is more than adequate for the intended purpose. The top of the can is a polished steel, almost chrome-like, along with matte black plastic for the lid. The can also comes with 4 castor wheels which you can just push onto the bottom if you desire. I like the wheels installed because it allows you to easily move the can near your working area (island, stove, etc.) to throw away scraps very easily - instead of dragging dripping, messy stuff across the room to the can.
The can requires 4 D-size batteries (not included) and will last, according to the instructions, 10,000 cycles - or you can opt for the AC-plug which you would have to buy separately. The lid functions when your hand, or other item, gets about 6-inches away from the sensor just in front of the lid. It works quite well, but it is not instant. Give it a second to open and then after it no longer detects movement it shuts a few seconds later. I really like not having to touch a dirty garbage can lid, but I hope it works dependably long-term. It also offers simple "open" and "close" buttons on the top of the lid.
The trash can uses standard 30-gallon bags and it comes with a plastic ring to keep the bag top hidden and tucked inside. It works just fine. If you are looking for a larger, attractive trash can for your kitchen this seems to fit the bill perfectly.
