We have fallen in love with our garbage receptacle.  Not only does the automated can address the spread of germs and contamination in the cooking environment, it has become a conversation piece.  To my guests surprise, the can welcomes them to toss their trash in without the necessity of touching it.  Although I gave this product can four (4) of the five stars, does not mean we are not satisfied.  The cash performs exactly as it is supposed to.  However, the batteries are exhausted because of frequent usage.  And because the can does not come with an AC adapter (has to be purchased separately) which means I am going to need to purchase a large quantity of batteries.  Overall, this was a healthy, fun, and exciting purchase.  I would recommend this product to friends, family, and to the Wayfair community!
