iTouchless Fully Automatic Touchless Trashcan SX

The jury is still out on this one! This trashcan is beautiful in both the stainless steel and the black, but the tops, which slide back and forth, need work. I am not certain they will go the distance. One trashcan arrived with one of the pleats (part of the trashcan top) broken off and rattling around in the box. The top seems to be delicate, to say the least. Another trashcan was replaced because the top just stopped working in under three weeks. It had new batteries but wouldn't slide back and forth any more. Using an AC adapter wouldn't help.

The tops are ultra noisy when sliding. A lady visited us the other day, went in the bathroom and the top noisily started opening. The poor woman grabbed that big black purse, flung open the bathroom door, and flew out like Gail Devers, screaming at the top of her voice!

If only they had sturdier tops! I fear, any time I hear the tops moving, that might be the last movement. They just don't operate smoothly. I think iTouchless truly, truly needs to work on the tops of these trashcans. Also, iTouchless NEEDS TO STOP GLUING THOSE BIG NAME TAGS ON THE BINS. They are ultra difficult to remove. No one is buying the trashcans to visually advertise for iTouchless, not with the tags, at least!

The trashcans are ultra nice-looking, but I am definitely not sure these trashcan tops will operate for a year, nine months, or six months. iTouchless Fully Automatic Stainless Steel Touchless Trashcan SX, 13 Gallon (52 Liter)iTouchless Fully Automatic Black Color Touchless Trashcan SX, 13 Gallon (52 Liter)

I do not understand why the iTouchless trash can has gotten so many bad reviews. Since I have never used it or seen it prior to owning one I was very reluctant to get it based on all the negative things being said about it. This review is dedicated to anyone like me who had a lot of questions that no one really answered or discussed.

First of all, let me discuss the basic function of this trash can; the fact that it can open up on its own. It does it perfectly. All you need to do is go and throw something out and it automatically opens up. It has an electric eye right on the front of the top of the lid that will open up as soon as anything is within 5 inches of it. It's also very "smart." I have mine stationed right below a telephone and a light switch and it has never once opened spontaneously.

I also love this trash can because it is HUGE. It is very tall and very wide (but it also is slim and slender, if that makes any sense). I can get so much into it and still have extra room. This saves me on garbage bags because I don't need to get as much, and it saves time and effort because I don't need to empty the can as often.

Speaking of emptying the can, I was very afraid to do this. Again this was something that everyone said was a very poor task. I have not had this problem at all. I love the fact that it has the insertion ring because everything is completely self contained. And all I do is pull up the insertion ring and then grab the bag. It's so simple!

The installation/set is next to nothing. The can requires 4 D-batteries. You just pop the batteries in, put in the trash bag around the insertion ring and you're all set. I use larger sized bags, 30 gallon because these seem to hold a lot more and are much stronger. It's also been my experience that this is a universal type of can that will take any sized bag that is a minimum of 13 gallons.

iTouchless is the perfect addition to my kitchen. Because I am constantly cooking, preparing and baking and this is really like having an extra set of hands. I no longer have to worry if I am preparing chicken or have flour on my hands when there's something that needs to be thrown out.

The can also includes an on/off switch (on the back) and a few indicator lights. It also has manual buttons if you prefer to open it own your own or close it on your own. Speaking of closing, it knows to stay open the for exact amount of time and then closes when it's necessary, giving me enough time to throw out anything.

If you purchase it from Amazon (and frankly why wouldn't you, they have the best price and the best service) they will package it perfectly. The original manufacturer's box is packaged inside their own cardboard box. It also comes with an instructional manual and iTouchless also provides a 1-year warranty.

Cleaning the can is so easy. I simply spray it with a little Lysol spray to keep it fresh or use a soapy sponge on it. I also use Mr. Clean wipes, as well. And I keep an Arm & Hammer insert in the bottom of it (outside of the bag) since there is so much extra room. This helps keep everything even extra fresh and clean. And since there is so much extra space I keep my entire garbage bag roll inside the bottom of the can.

I also like this can because it's very attractive. The black color matches my kitchen exactly. And I like that it's totally wireless (it will also take a plug, but I like how it looks better by itself). And when the lid opens within itself it has a very futuristic look. I can remember as a child being in school many years ago and my teacher said that in the future people will have trash cans that open on their own. No one believed her. But she was right. The future is now.

I received the itouchess automatic black nx/sx model trashcan. I really liked the color and design. It worked fine with batteries for two days. It does make a noise as some reviews indicated but I could live with it even if my dog couldn't. I read the reviews but ignored the negative ones and ordered this trash can anyway. On the third day, it would not open except manually. I waited for the adapter thinking it would now work touchless but it will not. It slides back and then will not close. You have to manually work with the lid until you can get it closed. I am not going to return it, will just use it manually for a while until time to get a new trashcan. Very disapointed with this product, really wanted it to work.

I put a set of batteries in it, planning to buy an adaptor for it later when they died. I have a tendency to open the can over and over while cooking, so it probably gets used 15 times a day on average, and the batteries are still going strong after 6 months or so. I may not bother getting a cord.

The negative, though, is that there is an internal rim at the top of the can that is smaller than the can itself. This makes pulling a full trash can through it nearly impossible. I unscrewed it and just pull the whole thing off every time, but that wasn't an ideal solution.

Overall it's not bad, but the rim is rather annoying on trash day.

No need to touch the lid or pedal of this trash can. Sensor is at the right place to open the lid automatically when you are approaching to throw trash. No false opening. The black color hides fingerprints and dirts. Thick steel construction looks like it can last for a long time. Large opening can fit a medium pizza box.

It comes with a plastic retainer ring that secures and hides the trash bag inside the trashcan. It is easy to change bags with the retainer ring. I'm using 18 gallon trash bag I got from Costco it fits perfectly. I also purchased the AC adaptor which saves me lots of battery costs. Every family should have one of this. This is the second one I own. I gave my first round stainless steel one to my parents.
