Question: where can i get just the mecanisim and not the can
Document: I love this trash can...it saves a lot of messes...now the dog can get into it without knocking it over!
Youll get tired of waiting for lid to open, and the constant up and down if its placed in an area you pass by a lot.
so far so good. this product is just right for me. do not have any problems yet. just a little tedious to change the trash bag but it's something one will get used to everytime you do.
This doesn't make sense to me...The defective product or problem was not caused by me, but I have to pay $20 shipping to get it warranty fixed!! !...not worth the time and money.
So far so good had it a couple weeks and it does what what its suppose to do. I like that I don't have to actually wave ny hand over it I just have to get with in a few inches for it to open.
I have this bin for over one year. it's broken now. but this is not a point - my main grudge is that top is heavy and unstable. I have seen much more elegant solution for automatic can opener. pay more money and get better quality.
I am surprised to hear that so many people have had problems. I have had mine for at least 4 years and only one issue - the inside ring has split but we glued it and it is fine. I really think that was our fault - the bag was too heavy and we pulled on it to get it out and the ring got stuck.
I want to just put it in hot soapy water to clean it easier, but I think that would damage the electric. So you really have to get in there to clean it. I do not think it is avoidable. I like not having to take my messy hands and throw things away when cooking.It is worth the money.
You do have the option of purchasing a new lid for $29.99 and not go through the warranty procedure.&#34;Buy another lid for the price of a garbage can that will fail again? And get the same bad service?Buyer beware!Their products has defects and their service is terrible! The sensor will definitely fail, so why pay a premium for a garbage their can? !
The lid opens easily and quickly. It stays open for a few seconds (long enough to get what you need to in there) and closes. It does squeak a little bit when it opens and closes. The infrared is also very sensitive so I wouldn't suggest it for high traffic areas, but when you are cooking and need to throw something away quickly, this is perfect.
