Nine Stars Infrared Touchless Trash Can

This is the third touchless trash can I have bought (I have bought 2 small sizes, one I no longer have and this one that I still have today, and I currently also still have a big 13 gallon one), and this company (Nine Stars) is the best I have tried. My first touchless trash can, a 13 gallon Nine Stars trash can that I have had since 2009, is still going, no defects, no deterioration in the electronic performance. After owning that 13 gallon one for some time with no problems, about two years ago I decided to buy a small sized touchless trash can for the bathroom. I first purchased a small version from a different company (not Nine Stars) and though it was nice looking, it stopped working after less than a year. It was also never really great in its performance, the lid always popped up too aggressively, and then popped down too aggressively, as though the motion of opening and closing were not smooth. Then when that small trash can stopped working one day, I bought this Nine Stars small trash can, and it has worked flawlessly and nicely for almost a year now. The lid opens and closes very smoothly, not like the other one that was hyper aggressive. The one thing that I don't like that much about this trash can is its lid style... the other one was better looking, but this one doesn't look bad, and with its better performance, I am very happy with it. This trash can has a nice shape overall, as it fits into corner areas in the bathroom very snugly. I use a very thin clear plastic trash bag to protect the interior of the trash can. When I have to empty the trash can I just lift the plastic bag out and put in a new plastic bag. But do note you have to use those very thin, clear plastic trash bags, not the thicker white or black plastic trash bags. Overall I would definitely recommend this product.
