The 13-gallon, brushed stainless steel Touchless Trashcan is a patented product that's already widely recognized in Europe. Thousands have been sold on infomercials, QVC, and HSN home shopping channels. It also won the 2002 Invention Show, New Household Product Award. It is a 100 percent hands-free operated, wireless, lidded waste disposal system. The built-in Artificial Intelligent (AI) Smart-Chip knows when you need to open trash can, and it does all the openings and closings for you so you don't have to touch or step on anything. How it Works
The Touchless Trashcan uses patented, invisible, and harmless infrared technology. Simply place your hand or debris about six inches away from the infrared sensor near the lid. It will open instantly when you approach and will close automatically in three seconds after debris has been released and your hand moves away. The lid will remain open if debris or your hand is within the 6-inch range of the infrared sensor. There are two buttons on the front to open and close the lid manually, and a easy to reach on/off switch on the back of the trashcan. The Benefits of the Touchless Trashcan
This trashcan creates a germ free, odor free, automated environment. It keeps your hands clean while you are cooking or playing with your children. It also helps prevent contamination, which reduces the threat of certain illnesses and infections. Because the trashcan turns an ordinary chore into something fun, your kids will have fun throwing the trash away for you. In addition, the Touchless Trashcan outlasts most of the step-on and hand-touch cans. If you can't touch it, you can't break it! These cans have been opened 100,000 times in laboratory tests, and they're still going strong. In fact, if you open your can 20 times a day, it can last over 10 years. This could actually be the last trashcan you ever buy, which will save you money, mess, and time. Technology and Eco-Friendly Features
Professionals recognize Touchless Trashcan as the next generation of waste receptacles. Its non-touch hygienic features meet the immediate needs in healthcare facilities and elderly homes. The new SilenX technology makes the closing of the lid even quieter while the "eagle eye" water-resistant sensor features reliable point-n-lock beam technology. In addition, the special energy saving design of Touchless Trashcan enables its four "D" size heavy duty batteries to support up to 10,000 consecutive openings and closings, or more than one year of use in non-frequent circumstances. There's also never a "fallen bag" problem with the Touchless Trashcan. The specially designed garbage bag retainer ring tightly holds the edges of the bag to prevent it from falling, and it seals the odors inside. You can use regular plastic garbage bags or even grocery bags, so there's no need to buy special garbage bags which many high-end garbage cans require. The Touchless Trashcan will improve the look of your kitchen, giving it an ultra-modern look and feel. It comes with one year limited manufacturer's warranty and a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee.

 Love it! November 18, 2008
A. Torricer
I got this trash can last month and I love it. The only thing I noticed is that since the lid isn't completely airtight, I had a small fruit fly incident once. But it still gets 5 stars.
 Still love this thing... November 13, 2008
Sam Sung (Lake Stevens, WA United States)
I've had this product in my kitchen for some months now, and I love it as much as the first day I got it. It's an awesome addition to my kitchen. The only drawback I've had is when the bag is too heavy, the brace slips off it's lip. Still an awesome product tho...
 Lasted less than a year. Not worth the money. November 9, 2008

I bought this trash can and it was great while it lasted, but it only went about 10 months. It no longer operates. Once in awhile the lid will go up, but then it stays up. I did the idiot check and replaced the batteries....no good. I won't buy this again.
Looks Nice and Works Well November 5, 2008
D. Dell (USA)
I have had different kitchen trash cans over the years. The last few were plastic and not well made. They used tiny springs that would break or the little plastic piece that the spring fit on would break off. So, I tried the iTouchless and I am glad I did. This trash can not only looks nice, but works well also with the automatic lid.
The can takes 13 to 18 gallon plastic trash liners. Since, most of us have 13 gallon I found a problem. There is a ring that the liner wraps around so the liner does not show which gives a clean appearance. If you use the 13 gallon liners and fill it with heavy trash then the liner can slip off the holding ring and sink to the bottom of the can. If this happens to you, then use some Styrofoam or bubble wrap about 4 inches high and keep it in the bottom of the can. As for the retaining ring, this is a little tricky. There is a slightly raised ridge inside the can where you wrap the liner around the ring and place it just above the ridge. If you press down too far the ring and liner will fall to the bottom. However, after a few times you get the hang of placing the ring correctly.
The lid mechanism when it opens and closes is actually quieter than a metal can with a foot pedal. The sensor works well. You get within 5 to 6 inches and the lid opens. I also like that you can press the open button and the lid stays open until you press close. Plus, you can turn off the whole thing with a switch.
The lid holds the motorized mechanism, batteries, sensor and controls. Therefore, you lose some space in the opening. The opening is about 7x9 inches. However, this is still enough room for all but the real large items.
There is room for improvement like making the ridge holding the retaining ring a little larger. But, overall this is a very nice looking and functional kitchen trash can.
Update: I solved the problem of the liner slipping off the retaining ring. Simply tie a knot in the opening of the plastic liner. Then the liner will fit tight and not come off the ring.
Great can for the $ November 2, 2008
D. Franklin (Reading, Pennsylvania United States)
I bought this to replace another stainless can because we kept having problems with the lids. My kids would frequently knock them off their mounting. With this can, noone touches the lid, so that never happens! The lid works flawlessly. The only thing that keeps me from rating this higher is the retainer ring, which makes bag replacement a little incovenient. You must "unwrap" the bag from the ring and remove the ring in order to remove a full bag of trash. But it's definitely worth it. I also like the slim line of the can, which helps keep it out of the way. I'd definitely recommend this product, particulary to families.
