EKO Mirage-T 50 Liter / 13.2 Gallon Touchless Rectangular Motion Sensor Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel Finish

We have owned a prior model from this same brand, and the lid was defective and recalled. The company at that time wasn't great about honoring the recall, either. We're taking a chance on this company again and hoping they've made some improvements.We haven't used it much yet, but so far, it's what you would expect. The lid responds to a swipe above the sensor. It closes a few seconds later. If you want to keep it open for a while, there's an open button that will hold it open for 20 minutes, which is helpful if you are cleaning or doing food prep and don't want to deal with the lid during that time. And there's a close button if you want to close it. A power switch is on the back, and the lid takes 4 AA batteries.This did come with a small supply of their branded bags, which is nice for getting started, but any kitchen sized bag will do. There is no bin within the bin, as was the case with our prior model, so you're just stuffing a bag into the shell of the can. My wife hated the bin within the bin, so she prefers this current setup. There's also a bag clip to hold the bag in place, but it is kinda cumbersome to use and I do not think we'll be using it.All in all, they've made some improvements. The lid mechanism seems quieter and even a bit faster/smoother than our previous model but that could easily just be a first impression on a brand-new unit. The stainless look is very nice. I do wish the mouth of the lid was more open so less garbage comes into contact with it to make cleaning easier.Time will tell if this starts eating batteries like our last one from this company did, or if the lid dies altogether and requires replacement. I do see that a couple of different replacement lids are available--either the exact lid this comes with, or the deluxe model's lid; both will apparently work on this can. I have ordered the deluxe lid just to have a second lid, because I remember all too well what happened with our last one. And a replacement lid is certainly less expensive than an entirely new can.So, fingers crossed. Giving 5 stars for now because it's doing everything it's supposed to. All in all, I would recommend this. It seems improved overall, even with a couple of the improvements which seem unnecessary.

This is acreally nice trash can. It stopped functioning for me 32 days after I received it. I figured I was out of luck as the 30 day return window from Amazon had closed. I thought I would try the company but didn't have any great expectations. I dialed the number and there was a recording saying I needed to have the model number and order number from Amazon. I hung up and went to Amazon to get the info. Within a couple minutes the company called ME asking how they could help! WAY above and beyond. The woman on the phone assured me that they stand behind thier products and if we couldn't get it working they would be glad to replace it. She had me do a couple things and presto.. it's working great again!! Thank you EKO!

“I love this trash can!” are words I never thought I’d say, but I truly do. I was worried that the larger size would feel too bulky, but because it’s so slim, it doesn’t feel bulky at all. The lid opens relatively slowly and smoothly (not clunky like some other cans) with a quiet hum. This is a great can and I’m so glad I got it. I bought some replacement bags as well and they are sturdy and fit nicely inside.

So far so good! So hard to find a big trash can worth the price that isn't junk that makes you want to just go heck to old school plastic. Came in fast and all in one peice no dents unlike others said wich can honestly happen with anything and you can just return exchange try agian usualy shippings fualt anyway, works like charm just like in others videos. So quiet compared to my old one this one is shockingly quiet. Love the count down no longer cuaght off guard trying to scrape plates into trash before getting your hand smashed haha unlike my old ones diff type would catch ur hand in it every time. Love the stay open feature. Absolutely hated having to have 2 small trash cans in the house with this only need1 . Why they don't make more big ones like this dono we got tired of the footpeddle ones breaking nothing lasting a year. Wish though that bug trash cans would make those plasitc black inserts you could pull out with the trash take out and spray and clean of somthing exploded n leaked could clean the inside without having to get wet the entetire things and moving parts but so far only seeing that very rare option on smaller ones and rare. Hope they read this and Make it where you can buy those separate if you choose cuz I'll take a lil loss for room to clean without harming vital parts to rust. Some complain of its thin metal but I think they could be little more detailed in this explanation; there's a small medium n large thickness. I've seen plenty small as in one finger can push it in to dent. I wouldn't say this is the thickest whereudhave to realy get bad kick it to dent it, I'd say medium. So mayb agree if you got big dogs i can see them hurting it but by then you may want to stay away from anything but thick Comercial plastic if that's the issue n it's they can learn real eady to opem it get in it anyway foot pedles would be better for dog issues. Now as far as seeing many day it never lasts past 2 years, well my footpeddle ones were the same if you can find one or the other lasting longer let me kno lol. The price is worth becuase we first got a foot pedle target one only 15 gallon vs this 21 n it was more expensive then this one and cheaper made feeling we took it back it was thin metal out said good foot pedle said best there is type it was not any better then others really. So for price I think this is good well let you know how long it lasts. Even came with a set of free bags plent to not just a tiny amount to try sell their bags but plenty. Even the hubby who hated all our old hands free version even my parents 3 hands free, was die hard peddle can type cuz less to go wrong, now he's seeing they just don't make even those like they used to the target one that was more expensive then this way smaller even was no better then the 50$made ones for the footpeddle. So you have won the hubby over and that's hard once he's stuck on somthing he gets stuck and convinceing him to give it anther go few did not wanna return yet anoyher. His words was this is so nice really cool I like it perfect loll
