I've use this trash can for around 4 weeks and it's really nice. I simply don't have any problem with it opening when I am close or walk by. Almost didn't buy it because of reviews saying it opened every they walked by. The place I put it is where it's the easiest to use, which is close to the counter top. We are around it all the time but it won't open unless you put your hand down close enough on top of the lip, where the sensor is located. Obviously if someone walk by it and something or their hand passes low enough right over the sensor it will open. But in our case its extremely rare because normally nothing is that low. It doesn't open by being in front it if, have to be top.So, its working well and convenient to use with no hands. Better than I expected really and nice to have both hands holding something but can still get the top open. Really quiet and hopefully it lasts a good while before having problems. Looks nice also.

So nice to not have to step on a peddle or lift up the lid...especially when our hands are full. I've walked very closely by it a bunch of times trying to see if it would open from that, but it doesn't at all! I also appreciate that the plastic lid is an option to lower to price. The all-stainless ones are nice, but at almost double the price, it wasn't realistic. This is already quite expensive! But we're quite happy with the purchase!

This bin has been used for about 3.5 years in between three different homes. I can honestly say this is the most expensive bin I've ever purchased, and I don't regret it! Yes, it's expensive, but at the same time it is much more reliable than previous ones. I have a feeling this will last a lifetime, thus I think it is worth it.I've had other bins that cost half as much, but they always end up broken. This one is going strong for years, which already made up the cost (had I not buy the others). Usually it is the sensor or the door motor that gets jammed and stops working, rendering it useless for its purpose.The batteries last very long, which means it is not literally 'eating' 4xD batteries every 3 months (and these are not cheap), like some others I've had.In conclusion, it has been working great all this time. Sometimes the sensor can get jammed if you leave your hand in there while it closes, but it recovers quickly. It is smart. We've never had a malfunction.Wipe it with spray and a cloth once in a while, and it is as good as new.The battery compartment is in a convenient location, just behind on top, holding 4xAA batteries. Careful that some bins have the batteries on the door itself, which I found it is not ideal./// Pros \\\* Automatic door* Reliable sensor* Batteries last a long time, from the efficient motor* Readily available bags to purchase with the exact size* Easy to clean* Location of the battery compartment* Aluminium construction/// Cons \\\* Price* Big* Works best with simplehuman bags (but they are perfect to be fair)
