We bought the rectangular one last time, too. Like another wooter had mentioned at that time, ours broke 2 weeks in. Tried new batteries, employing the “reset” option in the manual - nothing. It just wasn’t lifting up or somettimes even closing all the way and it was really slow and annoying.
Because of a previous wooter’s comments I went to the manufacturer’s website and filled out the warranty section then emailed them for a replacement lid. They told me they would do so but only as a “one time courtesy” (I wasn’t a huge fan of the wording used in their response).
Anywho, they sent us a replacement lid and it’s been working great ever since (over 2 mos). The previous wooter’s comments helped me so I thought it relevant to post similar comments here for those of you purchasing this item.
Would I recommend this item? Yes. We love it now that it’s working. Just be sure to take the necessary steps should you need a replacement lid and keep your fingers crossed you won’t need a third.
I got one of these square trash cans on a previous woot for mom (so it may be a different model). Initially, she put trash can in a place where there was a lot of foot traffic and it opened randomly - so that part worked good (but annoyed her). My issue was the square nature of the canister and that trash bags are only about half full when removed (due to the square nature of the trash enclosure.) I am looking for a more rectangle shaped canister for her as a replacement. I also do not feel that I paid ~$84 for the item to be delivered (but did not check my account before writing this comment).
Ahh. Was it this one? different touchless trash canOr, here:another touchless 9 star brand
Really good reviews on both. I dont find mention of ac power source. 4D cells not included for all of these cans.
Anyone have experience with nine stars?
Bought a version of this at least ten years ago from Sharper Image. I love it. Still works like a charm. Only changed batteries once. Using flex type bags, I get much more trash in this than I’d get in a plastic can. The sensor range is about a foot. I’d buy another without hesitation.
Simplicity in design and function insures years of trouble free operation. The more complicated you make an item the more maintenance and part replacements you will be faced with.
