The can itself is high quality and attractive, however the sensor element needs to be fixed if you put your trash can in a high traffic part of your household. Every time anyone walks by it, it opens. When one is holding garbage to actually put inside, it is much slower than just pressing on a pedal to open it. Sure this thing looks nice and high tech, but it was a major fail for me. Others may like it however . At least Simplehuman has a good return policy and credited me super fast. I’m not used to that by other companies. Way to go Simple human.
