It was a great purchase for our family.  We have a puppy who loved getting into the garbage, so we needed a garbage with a lid.  I chose the touchless just for ease and cleanliness.  It has exceeded my expectations.  It opens easily after a small wave in front of the lid.  The only reason I did not give it five stars is that the AC adapter is not included in the price.  We are currently using 4 size D batteries.  It would have been nice to have the adapter so we could plug it into an outlet.  Other than that, we have had no issues!  A great buy for the price.
