The Insignia 3-gallon automatic trash can is a highly convenient and practical waste management solution for your home or office. The automatic feature is a real time-saver, as the lid opens and closes with a simple wave of your hand, reducing the need for direct contact. The can's compact size makes it a great fit for small spaces, and its stainless steel exterior provides a modern and attractive look. The trash can also has a removable inner bucket for easy waste disposal, and its automatic feature runs on four D batteries, making it easy to maintain. Overall, the Insignia 3-gallon automatic trash can is a great choice for anyone looking for a hygienic and low-maintenance waste management solution.

This is my second purchase of this trash can. They are great, easy to use, automatic, and work very well in two of our bathrooms, and because they are stainless steel, they go with our decor. I highly recommend them.

I just love this trash cans, first i thought it was gonna be too small, I bought two, one for each restroom and no regrets, this is larger than what I thought this is the perfect size for a bathroom or any room, like that it has a sensor that opens and closes the door without touching the lid, 100% recommend it

This is a great trash can. I wanted a stainless steel step trash can for my remodeled kitchen and this one is perfect. The removable bin is great and there are air holes in it which allows the trash bag to be removed without the annoying "air lock"/suction thing.The soft close lid is very convenient and the fact that the lid will actually stay open, if desired, is great.

I bought this for my new house and for guest to visit
I am pleased that I don’t have to touch anything
My home is myself a four year old so we don’t accumulate too much trash. Set up was easy. Only required batteries and has a 6 second countdown then it closest by itself. I’m proud that the trash can stays clean because you don’t have to touch it till you empty it . The height is so perfect because I can even plug in stuff on top of it.

Loving it so far. It's on the small side, but works perfectly for me as i put this on top of my desk. Powered by 2 AA battries, not included. The sensor works great. I like to separate my recycle and trash, so this does the job of a small trash bin.

I love this little trash can! It is so convenient to use. The flap opens quickly with just a wave of my hand and closes in a timely fashion. The biggest thing I love about it is that my small dog can't get in to it.

Very Compact, Attractive Design, Poor Performance

I ordered this trash can for a bathroom application. I thought despite the size being on the smaller side, it would work for my fairly large bathroom. After using it for a couple days, I am finding it to be a pain to use.
The main reason is the motion sensor only picks up motion within 10 inches of the top of the lid. This means you have to really bend over for the can to open the lid. If the can would sense roughly 16-20 inches above the lid, this would work much better for tossing items inside. I have since moved the can onto the counter (interesting, I know) but it actually seems to work more ergonomically given the can is near chest height. You can simply reach out and the can will open.
Overall, if you don't want to have to bend over to place garbage inside and have the space, I would recommend a taller can.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love this little trash can. Fits my guest bathroom perfectly. Size is what I wantedI have the iTouchless in my other bathroom and will be replacing it with this one.It is cheaper plus it only uses 2 AA batteries. ITouchless uses 4AA.
