I hesitated to purchase this sensor can because it was very pricey. I live in a 3 story house and was tired of always having to run down a floor with my recycle items. So I decided to try this item. So glad I did. Extremely quiet. Opens with voice or wave of hand. Has plenty of room for recycling and garbage. The garbage bag replacement attract to the can making it convenient to replace after removing trash. The recycle bin is sturdy with a handle to carry. Plus the can is a modern styling and fits perfect at end of my island. So happy with this purchase. Worth every penny!
