iTouchless 13-gallon Stainless Steel Touchless Trash Can
Keep your hands clean and your kitchen odor-free with the latest iTouchless Extra-wide lid opening (11.75" diagonal) Sensor Touchless Trash Can. It fits larger debris easily, such as large milk cartons or pizza boxes with its space-saving design.

Like a helping robot in your kitchen
Model Number: ITOUCHLESS
"This is like having R2D2 swallow your garbage! This can is very stylish and matches my other stainless appliances perfectly. It is narrower than it is deep, which allows for a small kitchen footprint. The automation is wonderful. I did not realize how convenient it would be to not have to touch the lid. With a slight wave of your hand, the lid opens. Toss in your trash and get back to work, which if that happens to be prepping food, you don't have to necessarily stop to wash your hands... you did not touch the can! The the sensor is well designed. It has never opened by accident and in my case, the can sits right next to a high traffic area in my kitchen. For those who prefer a hands-on approach, there is a manual open and close button as well. Replacing the bags can be kind of tricky at first, but just remember not to push the retaining ring too hard. It just needs to rest on the ledges on the inside of the can. You'll see what I mean. I looked at lots of stainless steel trash cans before making this purchase, most of which were more expensive without the automation. I have to say that from both the visual and performance standpoint, this is a great buy. Of course, when all is said and done... it is, after all... only a trash can."

"Bought two of these, one for trash and one for recycle. I love the size and big opening. It's not very wide and sort of slim. It actually look quite good in our little kitchen. We were actually looking to buy 1 dual bin; but somehow buying two of these works better. Quality is not as sturdy, looks like stainless steel, but more like aluminum weight. Wish it will come with the inner bin so if something leak from the trash bag, there will be at least another container to catch it. Instead of putting trash bag into the inner bin, it has this small retaining ring that we pull our trash bag through. It's plastic, each time we take the trash out, we have to becareful not to let the ring takes all the trash weight. It seems like it can break anytime. Would be nice if the ring is made of metal. We only have these for 2 weeks, so far so good. Oh, just one thing I didn't really like. When I cleaned the cover with the disinfecting wipes; the black color of the lid came out (smeared) and the lid doesn't look as shiny and nice as before. I guess I can only wipe it with nonalcohol stuff."

iTouchless Sensor Trash Can
Pros: bigger opening, ac power option
Model Number: ITOUCHLESS
"I returned the Nine Star brand 2 combo cans - a large size and a mini size. The large one only lasted 9 months and the mini size lasted a year. I love the touchless function and can't live without it so I search Costco and find the iTouchless brand. Based on the positive reviews, I gave it a tried and ordered it online.
After a month of use, I have no complaints about this iTouchless sensor trash can. I can feel that it is stronger than the other brand. The opening is also a lot bigger on this one. I wanted this specifically to avoid getting trash and residue on the outside of the can as you put trash in, which happened almost every time with my old "swinging door" plastic can. I'm anxious to see how long the batteries last me, but one month into using, I'm a huge fan. I can order the AC adapter with this brand but not the Nine Star brand."

Pros: makes life easier
Cons: none for now
Model Number: IT13MX
"I bought 4 of these trash cans and am giving 3 of them as Christmas gifts. One for my husband and I and one for each of my daughters homes and one for my mom. I haven't opened them all up yet, but ours was in good shape and works like a charm. The only problem I have is remembering not to throw garbage into the pull out container under the sink, where our old garbage can used to be. It is now our recycle bin. I love my new trash can and so far, no problems to report. We've been using it for about 3 weeks. We're going to open and inspect the other cans soon and try them out before we give them as gifts...and we're going to fill them with wrapped gifts and put the can back in it's box and wrap the box. I can't wait to give them to the girls and my mom because I just love using mine. I just hope they last...nothing seems to!!"

Pros: durable, convenient, clean

Model Number: Extra Large Opening
"Yes, this is the 2nd one of these we've ordered, because after about 5 years of use, the first broke (it was the battery-operated lid that stopped working). I was actually surprised that it lasted that long, too. We were just going to replace the lid, but now that Costco.com is selling this item for $$ with larger opening and new features, it didn't make sense to replace just the lid. This trash can is great for when you've been handling meat and don't want to have to open a cabinet to throw something away. And the new one is much quieter than the old one was. On our first one, the 4-D batteries lasted forever... I think it was over a year. So I would highly recommend this product. It looks great with stainless steel appliances and is a conversation piece, too."

Great i-touchless trash can
Model Number: i-Touchless
"I love my new i-Touchless trash can! I wish I had bought it sooner! Several months ago, I bought a foot-pedal operated round stainless steel trash can at a local store on sale. I thought it was just what I wanted - but I was wrong! It was a like a wrestling match trying to get the full trash bag out of the can; and it usually took 2 people - one to hold the trash can and one to pull out the bag!! When I found the i-touchless trash can online at such a good price, I knew it was time to try it. It has a rectangular shape that makes it easier to pull out the full trash bag. I was already familiar with the touch-free lid since my friend owns one just like it. It is a perfect size for my kitchen; looks nice and clean. I will recommend it to all my friends!"

Works like a charm!
"We previously owned a sensor can made by Nine Star but the mechanism that actuates the lid stopped functioning after six or seven months. My wife really wanted another sensor non-touch trash can so we ordered a different brand. we've had the iTouchless version for about a month now. Unlike the previous brand, this one operates on four D-sized batteries or electric power. This is a huge improvement in saving money of buying batteries. Another nice feature of this model is adding small air holes at the bottom of the can to release the suction during trash bag removal for easy changing the trash bags. The rectangular shape also makes it much easier to deposit larger items, scraps scraped off plates, etc. We are very happy with this new sensor trash can."

automatic trash can is great
"I had been looking for a kitchen trash can nicer than cheap plastic, but didn't want to spend $200 as in some our local stores. This is my first purchase from Costco, and I was concerned about the trash can arriving without dents. I promptly received the trash can, and it was packed really well. Now that we have the trash can, it's awesome and fun to watch as new friends and family discover it. I had looked at other stainless steel cans in the $100 price range, but didn't like the plastic bag hanging outside of the can. The plastic bag retainer holds the bag secure and changing the bag is easy. Now with the waive of a hand, the lid opens and closes - it's just way too cool.."

Great Purchase, if not damaged.
"Unlike other motion sensor trash cans I've had, this one does not open sporadically when someone walks across the room but is sensitive enough to respond quickly when you're next to it. I like the larger opening and the bag is securely held in place.
Being able to plug the trash can into an outlet is an added plus, but the AC adapter is not included. It needs to be ordered separately through the manufacturer.
I've ordered this trash can three times now. The first two shipments arrived damaged with dents on the can itself. The fact that I've ordered this trash can for a third time, hoping that it will arrive undamaged, is testament to how much I like its effectiveness."

Finally a trash can that can last
Model Number: itouchless
"Our family has been using step on open trash cans for more than 20 years. Everytime a trash can broke, it was because it refused to open. Sometime we fixed it with duct tape, glue, or little home made replacement parts, but it never last long. We usually have to change trash can every year or 2. The last one lasted almost 2 years and it was a very high quality one. I ordered the iTouchless last month and I don't see how we could break this one! There is no touching, and actually make throwing away trash kind of fun even after 2 weeks. I don't know how long the unit will last, but from what I have seen, I doubt that it will break that easily under normal usage."

iTouchless Touchless Sensor Trash Can
"My friend has this trash can and loved it. I was always impressed that I didn't have to touch it, especially when you are cooking and getting rid of waste. The trash can lids stays clean and I don't have to wash my hands constantly as I prep cook and eliminate food waste. So I decided to find me a touchless stainless steel trash can. Of course I went to costco.com and what a wonderful surprise ...they had the exact same model available that my friend owned. Of course I bought it with no reservations. It works beautifully, no problems with the mechanism at all. It looks great with my stainless steel appliances. I highly recommend it."

Quality concerns
"I purchased the round version of this about 18 months ago and the lid became non-functional. The return to Costco was painless and I heard a comment from the clerk that several had been returned recently. I order this item as a replacement but before it could be delivered Costco pulled all the products from iTouch Sensor Trash Cans. The unit arrived with a puncture in the box that luckily didn't affect the contents. Thanks UPS. So far the unit has been working, but for how long? Also it does not come with a power cord like the last one did, so its battery powered. Supposed to last a year, we shall see."

So far so good
Pros: high quaility
Cons: sometimes it doesn't work as advertised minor nit
"For the limited time I owned this trash can, it has worked extremely well. The sensor doesn't work as advertised, all the time. The trash can is supposed to stay open if you keep hand is in front of the sensor, however sometimes it closes even if you keep your hand is in front of the sensor. This is a minor nit.
This was a replacement for the the "Nine Star 21-gallon Motion Sensor Trash Can". The Nine Star worked well at okay at first, but didn't last.
In comparison to the Nine Star, this trash can appears to be of higher quality and works better (comparing within the same time interval)."

Great Can
"I had a can that needed me to press a lever on the bottom and a hinge would lift the top up. Usually when I did this, I would hear a "clank" when the lid hit the wall. I put up with this for years. It was when I had a bad day and decided that this clanking can needs to see what heaven looks like. So out went the clanker, and in came iTouchless. This can rules! Never moves around since I am not putting my feet on a stupid lever, and I can still hear my tunes in the kitchen without a big "clank" when I am tossing out a finished peanut buster parfait. I'm in heaven."

"The iTouchless Touchless Trash Can is superb. Ours was put in the kitchen and is used endlessly. We have several pets that need to be fed and this prevents us from having to touch the trash can with our hands, which often have food products or medication on them. It also prevents someone from forgetting to drop the lid as it automatically closes. We have had no insects near our trash can since this one has arrived. My daughter and her husband have 5 dogs and have since purchased one for their home. Our lives have become much less hectic since this purchase!"

Very handy touchless kitchen trash can
Pros: touchless
Cons: overly sensitive, no batteries or adaptor
"Based on the reviews of other members I decided to give this touchless kitchen trash can a try. So far, so good. I like that you can throw out trash without having to touch the lid and wash your hands several more times than necessary while cooking. We had to turn our can sideways because it opens when you walk past it otherwise. It also has open and close buttons you can press which is helpful at times. We just happened to have four D batteries since the can does not come with them or an adaptor as other customers noted. Overall, a good buy so far."

Better trash can
Model Number: iTouchless extrawide
"We've been using the sensor trash can for 2 years. Very pleased with the trash can the no touch automatic open/close lid is very sanitary and the closed lid controls trash odors and prevents my dog from getting to the trash and being batteried operated eliminates the need for electrical plugs and wires and its smaller requiring less space than my other trash cans yet uses the same 13 gallon bag I am very pleased and I highly recommend this product I'm buying a few for holiday gifts. It was sold out last year before December."

Works even better
Pros: large opening, sensor control
Model Number: iTouchless
"This is the second iTouchless we bought - the first was a round shape that uses the adapter (or batteries) and that lasted about 5 years. This one is rectangular shape and works even better than the first. It is much, much easier to get the bags out -- even when they are crammed full. The first one was a wrestling match every time. The best part of these cans is that they do not open willy-nilly when you (or anyone) walk by. The dogs can't get into the trash -- they don't even try! Thanks for a great product line."

Great Can, just cross your fingers it's not dented
"Trash can works great and looks great in the kitchen. I bought two, one for regular garbage and one for recyclables.
They arrived, one was perfect, the other one had a big dent on one side, looked like a pallet strap had been tightened too much. So I returned it and ordered another one.
It just arrived, and OH LOOK, another one with a dent!! Not as bad as the first, just a small ding, but it's on the front, so can't use it. Taking this one back too.
I'm ordering it again, hoping 3rd times a charm :)"
