Yeah agreed. That thing looks like it actually works pretty well but proprietary bags and their fairly small size (honestly looks about the size of a plastic grocery bag, and I can pack those full where this would seal the bag when I'd consider it only half full) me no like,
I don't think it technically uses trash bags, seems that when it seals the bag, it creates a new "bag" from the seal. So what you're buying is one long roll of a plastic cylinder that the device heat seals to make bags, this is why his first bag (of air) is much smaller than his full bag (and then the final speed test bag is between the two in size).
Keep in mind it's pretty much brand new to the market so "others" haven't had a chance to produce bags at this stage. But like most things like this, you can bet some other company will eventually make something cheaper for it.

I think your conclusion is spot on: it's a great proof of concept now but I'll wait until future generations get bigger and/or cheaper before buying in.
That's what I was thinking too. If it is a UV-C light source (the sanitizing spectrum of UV) then leaving the light on while the lid is open is a very bad design. UV-C exposure can be very damaging to exposed skin and to the eyes. Not to mention all the ozone it produces as well.
@@nowonmetube UV-C is energetic enough that it is capable of destroying the DNA and nucleic acids in cells and microorganisms. Since a lot of odors, especially in garbage, are caused by molds and bacteria breaking things down, killing or disrupting those microorganisms reduces the smell. The danger is that it has the same damaging effect on human cells and DNA. It's similar to UV-B (the kind that causes sunburns and skin cancers) but is much more energetic and so is capable of doing a lot more damage at a much faster rate. Most commercial applications of UV-C try to contain the light with enclosures or otherwise avoid exposure to humans and animals. The sun also produces massive amounts of UV-C but fortunately most of it is blocked by the upper atmosphere. If you still have questions just do a web search for "ultraviolet germicidal irradiation".
Snizel Yea I agree. It looks like a hassle really. It also seems like it would be super convenient for my dog to make it open so he could grab stuff out of it.
the sensor is meant for like single pieces of trash. you know... normal use. but if throwing a lot away. it has this handy feature which was shown in the video, where you press the button and it stays open.... crazy how they thought about that.
True, I have a 13 gallon trash can like this the simple human one and it has a countdown meter on the front that counts down from 5 seconds to let you know that the lid is going to close, it’s nice when you have a lot of trash to put in there so you can just motion for it to restart the timer if you need more time instead of having it close on you while throwing things away
@@oortcloud1416 No, but it is fairly normal to throw 2-3 items into the trash one after the other, especially with something as small as this it'd be unlikely to fit one big lump of trash in all at once.
I think it might be useful to put on the counter and put food scraps and vegetable bits in bc you can hold a cutting board and a knife while the trash can opens itself, though the timer is a bit short. And the bags are sealed so bugs won't get in after you take it out.
thats because these arent actually bags, its a long tube of material that creates bags from the seal, when the heat seals the bag, the other side of the seal becomes the bottom of the next bag..... however thats even more ridiculous for the price since a long tube of material is way cheaper to make than actual individual bags :/
I can see this being ideal for someone who is handicapped. I got a Simple Human motion/voice 12 gal., wide top can. It opens when you say"open can" and "close can". Also motion senses -- great when my hands are full with anything messy. It holds a lot, and is a metal, solid build. It doesn't seal the bags, but I LOVE the convenience. It was pricy $199.00, but a year later it's still going strong.
I find it funny that they added your reaction on the homepage where they advertise the product. So naturally I had to check your review - great work :)
The rings are almost a dollar per bag (80 cents) for the regular ones and just over a dollar per bag ($1.2) with the biodegradable ones. $119.95 for the trash can itself. You'd have to seal and throw away 120 bags before you're down to having payed $1/ used trash bag, but by that point you've also spent roughly $100 - $150 on the bags themselves. Which also is what you'd be stuck with paying for bags yearly if you filled up 1 bag every 3 days or so.
I'd like to see a strength test done on the bags. For example put the sharp top of a can in there with a new bag so that the sharp edge touches the bag then see if the bag gets cut as you take it to the main trash can outside. That bag sounds thin walled when you handled it.
They sell some diaper canisters that iv see the top spins (if its empty the bag just spins if it's full or halfway filled it will "seal" the bag you only need to tie it) Save yourself alot of money
Oooooh. Good idea! Right now I use grocery store plastic bags to bag the litter. I buy the litter in those large tubs. I have the full tub I use to replenish the litter, and an empty one I use for dropping in the soiled bags. By the time it's full of soiled litter, it's about time to get a new bin of fresh litter, and I can switch out the bins again.
Wouldn’t a diaper bucket be much more practical and more reasonable and environmental friendly in use? Would use much less plastic, since it twists and seals just after each scoop of litter/poop? Ooops, see someone else said this already... PS! I recommended such a bucket to a lady with a stomi (bag on her belly) and she loved it, she was so worried it would smell when she changed while travelling etc, and the bucket proved to be a godsend for her...
Ray Stull - It’s not practical for everybody, easy if you have your bins in an attached garage, but if you have to go out, down the hall, down X number of floors to the garage in the basement and down the garage to where the large bins are, you may not want to do that every time one of your several cats does a little #2... Just sayin’...☺️
Muze Rhythm nah, I’ve had a trash can that has a “no touch” feature for about a year (it was like $30 and much bigger than this, plus it was cool at the time). I have 3 dogs and one that can actually reach the trash can’s sensor if she wanted to and she has yet to figure it out.
@@michaelgriffiths8329 Just wait..they're watching 👀 you and play dumb but one morning you'll find it open and they will blame each other.🤣🤣 (just joking😁)
thanks James. I bought this very expensive item because my puggle dog would always get into the trash. I figured he couldn't open it because the sensor said it was so far up. well you are right. it's about 8 inches. and my dog figure out if he just leans over the top it opens. He pulled the ring out and and knocked it over and well diapers and wet wipes all over the floor. I replaced the bag ring thinking he wouldn't be able to do that again. The dog is smarter than me! again pulled out the ring and though there was nothing in the bag all the bag material was pulled down from the ring though it's still connected to the ring, I can't figure out how to stuff it back inside. haven't heard from the company either. the replacement bag ring costs about 25$ so now unless I buy another ring..its now just an ordinary trash can
I can see how this would be good in the bathroom not needing to touch anything that is in contact with the used paper it just lifts up and you pick up the sealed bag
I’m guessing it would be most useful in a bathroom where you wouldn’t want to touch the can to put in trash or see what has been discarded while changing out the bag.
This should be a $40 item that sells with the three refill rings for an additional $5. The higher they charge you for the refills and the trashcan itself makes it seem more like a luxury novelty item.
I like it. Dont have to touch dirty trashbag everytime i change bags. I could press the button, walk away and do cleaning, them come back later ready for the full bag to be taken outside
I’ve got this for my son’s nursery. I love that it seals the bags for me so I don’t have to smell the diaper stank as I tie up the bags. Well worth it to me!
@@omens_slays They work, but compared to this, there are a bunch of extra steps with the Diaper Genie to seal the odors. If you can afford it, I would rather have had this for my nursery and then when I didn't need it there anymore, I could ave used it for when I cleaned the liter box! lol
As a professional cleaner who has cleaned in hundreds of peoples homes, I can say 100% that these garbage cans are NOT worth $5, not even close to the humongous price tag. Most of the time it detects motion when you walk by and stays open so then it smells. So it stays open for no reason most of the time, useless. And $120 isn't even expensive for these kinds of cans, here in Canada at Bed Bath and Beyond, there's multiple over $150 or even $200
I have this trash can. The trick is to activate the sensor with the trash you're going to throw away. That way you don't have to reach down and can throw away the trash in one motion.
Freakin' Reviews - Everyone in North America, I bet. I don’t know anyone who has the usual American size trashcan here in Norway. We just don’t produce as much trash as over there, that can is more than big enough for the trash that doesn’t go in the recycle bins or igloo’s (we have food/compostable, paper, plastic, glass/metal cans, batteries/electric, bottles for deposit(you get money back for them at the store) and what doesn’t go in any of the others, which means that can doesn’t need to be huge).
I have a 13 gallon trash can like most americans but it takes me about 2 weeks to fill it one time. (Family of 2 with 2 dogs). This can would be perfect for me in capacity but the height would be an issue with the dogs in the house. It would be perfect for a pull out trash drawer though, if the button was on top.
1auntievenom That's another difference - family of 5 here, with the dog and 3 cats. Even if I had the recycling you do (and as rural as I am, I don't see it happening) we still would go through a lot more trash.
@@WintrBorn I think that is a crying shame that rural places do not have access to recycling in 2020. I, being in the city, do have recycling but it has been massively cut because china is not taking our crap anymore. We only recycle 2 plastics, paper, tin, aluminum and steel. In my house, we do not purchase food items that come in plastic in the first place where we can help it. I have a berkey water filter and a reusable bottle that I never leave home without. I compost and before I could compost, I used a worm bin. We have been brainwashed to think that we need that stiff and we do not. Our planet has limited resources and our lack of respect for her is coming at great cost. Reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse, rot!
This would be most useful in a medical environment like in a doctor's office, laboratory, any medical waste. If they made it out of a germ resistant material or metal, that would be the ultimate application for this technology!!
The ring of trash bags is cool, since that's actually very close to how the plastic is manufactured before it's formed into flat bags. Love the auto seal, auto reload. Give me that on a 33 gal can.
I just ordered one this morning thanks for the review now I see how helpful it will be, because we never had a trash can before we just used shopping bags but since the new law here in Oregon bans plastic shopping bags this will come in really helpful.👍
Did Bailey ever get used to that trash can? She didn’t react the way I thought she would. I thought you might put some food wrappers in there, and that she would figure out how to get in there and make a mess. Love seeing her, and Daisy. But haven’t seen much of Daisy recently.
I have 2 trash cans that open when something comes close to the unit. I use one for trash and the other for recycling (the cans are one unit). I love it. Not easy to change the bag (don't need one for recycling) though but we got used to the lid opening by itself and when we go elsewhere, we look like idiots waiting for the lid to open, waving our hand over it. You have to remember that with recycling and composting, we are generating less and less garbage so that size might be just enough to last awhile.
I can understand the use on this. However I think they should have a sensor on the side facing down so you can just step in front of it and have it open. Also, I would much prefer no lid so I can just toss and go but people with kids might have issues. Maybe a silicone seal on the lids to help keep in odors. As for the charing indicator, I can guess that's on the inside so when you use it you see those lights that remind you when to charge it. Though I feel like a constant power supply would be better for some cases. This would be perfect for diapers and such though. Auto seals the bag and everything. It would be cool if it had a front panel where it could push/eject the bag before it auto changed the bag. So you could just walk up and see the bag and grab it and use the trash can in one shot.
I would like too see how it functions when its on the edge of overflow but isn't enough to hold the lid up. It seems like small trash,, ice cream wrappers,, cups,, it would bind the thermo seal
They did just release it. And I’m sure once they get a larger one that people will want the price would probably go up. Take coolers for instance. I’m sure a lot of people said “oh why put a fridge/freezer in your car when you can get a way cheaper cooler and buy ice” they sold those fridge freezers for so cheap and now look at them. ARB goes for about 900 now. About 3 years ago they were selling for about 700. Dometic same story. This is them testing waters see what kind of demand there is and what people like and dislike about them and improve on that. I’d wait until they come out with bigger ones and see how long they last! Who knows maybe they’ll get a different bag setup where you can just go to your local supermarket and purchase the bags there for cheaper. Or a different company that sells identical bags for cheaper. I know Food Saver had the same issue when they were first released. Could only use their bags. And now the market is full of bags for their products that work. Just not as well.
A bigger can will contain more garbage, but more garbage smells more. Mine is a family of 3 and we had a big garbage bin, which would take forever to get filled up and by the end of it, it would stink so much. We had to switch to a small bin - yeah, we throw it out more often, but it doesn't smell as much, nearly at all.
The only thing I can see using this with us when scooping the litter box. But diaper genies work too. Or the one that's for cat litter scooping. You could buy both brand new & still save money.
this would be useful next to a desk. like in a computer/gaming room. someplace where itll be next to you when your sitting down. so the inferred sensor will be close and convenient for you.
The trash can that opens automatically is interesting. I also have one. There are many kinds of trash cans in the world! The video was very interesting. I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)

I think your conclusion is spot on: it's a great proof of concept now but I'll wait until future generations get bigger and/or cheaper before buying in.
Buying this is like... Throwing your money in the trash!
at first I was like this is a waste of money... then it emptied and then put in a new bag for u?? yeah that's pretty damn cool
5:38 Had me in tears aw poor Bailey 😂😂😂
When I first saw that I thought the lights were ultraviolet to sanitize and keep the smell down. So they aren't ultraviolet?
That's what I was thinking too. If it is a UV-C light source (the sanitizing spectrum of UV) then leaving the light on while the lid is open is a very bad design. UV-C exposure can be very damaging to exposed skin and to the eyes. Not to mention all the ozone it produces as well.
The original idea was from Xiaomi back in 2018 with UV light inside. Also it was advertised as a toilet trash can, not counter top.
Who says uv light keeps smell down? Any proof to that?
@@nowonmetube UV-C is energetic enough that it is capable of destroying the DNA and nucleic acids in cells and microorganisms. Since a lot of odors, especially in garbage, are caused by molds and bacteria breaking things down, killing or disrupting those microorganisms reduces the smell.
The danger is that it has the same damaging effect on human cells and DNA. It's similar to UV-B (the kind that causes sunburns and skin cancers) but is much more energetic and so is capable of doing a lot more damage at a much faster rate. Most commercial applications of UV-C try to contain the light with enclosures or otherwise avoid exposure to humans and animals.
The sun also produces massive amounts of UV-C but fortunately most of it is blocked by the upper atmosphere.
If you still have questions just do a web search for "ultraviolet germicidal irradiation".
@@Okusar thank you for the thorough explanation! You meet the most interesting people on TH-cam.
I can see my cat learning how the trashcan opens up and finding her digging between the trash
I bought my mom and step-dad this trash can as a Christmas present. Fingers crossed that they end up liking it.
Looks more of an inconvenience with that auto opening and closing.
And you also pay premium for that inconvenience.
It really takes no effort at all to put your foot down on a pedal... Why does anyone think a motion sensor on a trash can is a good idea?
Snizel Yea I agree. It looks like a hassle really. It also seems like it would be super convenient for my dog to make it open so he could grab stuff out of it.
the sensor is meant for like single pieces of trash. you know... normal use. but if throwing a lot away. it has this handy feature which was shown in the video, where you press the button and it stays open.... crazy how they thought about that.
@@stevewright8284 and then you touch the button with dirty hands getting the button all grimy after a few uses
Impressive but I like my Simple Human auto open trash can. I don't like the way it closes while you are still putting things in it.
Jack Burton This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I’m talkin’ to whoever’s listenin’ out there.
Noone puts a whole bag worth of trash at once. And there is a button to keep it open. He was abnormally filling it.
True, I have a 13 gallon trash can like this the simple human one and it has a countdown meter on the front that counts down from 5 seconds to let you know that the lid is going to close, it’s nice when you have a lot of trash to put in there so you can just motion for it to restart the timer if you need more time instead of having it close on you while throwing things away
@@oortcloud1416 No, but it is fairly normal to throw 2-3 items into the trash one after the other, especially with something as small as this it'd be unlikely to fit one big lump of trash in all at once.
Mike Savicky good catch!
This is the best review I’ve found. So thorough! Thank you !
I think it might be useful to put on the counter and put food scraps and vegetable bits in bc you can hold a cutting board and a knife while the trash can opens itself, though the timer is a bit short. And the bags are sealed so bugs won't get in after you take it out.
Bailey was like: ahhh it's after me , get away get away hahaha.
Poor Bailey
It looks cool but I just can't get over how they're charging $20 to $30 for 75, 4 gallon bags
Yeah, we don't buy bags that small but can't you get something like 20 of em for $1?
@@vgamesx1 maybe real cheap bags but I've gotten like 45 decent bags for about 2.50.
@@vgamesx1 I just bought 225 five gallon bags, from Amazon, for $16. There's cheaper, thinner versions that's cheaper.
thats because these arent actually bags, its a long tube of material that creates bags from the seal, when the heat seals the bag, the other side of the seal becomes the bottom of the next bag..... however thats even more ridiculous for the price since a long tube of material is way cheaper to make than actual individual bags :/
BIODEGRADABLE BAGS
I can see this being ideal for someone who is handicapped. I got a Simple Human motion/voice 12 gal., wide top can. It opens when you say"open can" and "close can". Also motion senses -- great when my hands are full with anything messy. It holds a lot, and is a metal, solid build. It doesn't seal the bags, but I LOVE the convenience. It was pricy $199.00, but a year later it's still going strong.
I find it funny that they added your reaction on the homepage where they advertise the product. So naturally I had to check your review - great work :)
The rings are almost a dollar per bag (80 cents) for the regular ones and just over a dollar per bag ($1.2) with the biodegradable ones. $119.95 for the trash can itself. You'd have to seal and throw away 120 bags before you're down to having payed $1/ used trash bag, but by that point you've also spent roughly $100 - $150 on the bags themselves. Which also is what you'd be stuck with paying for bags yearly if you filled up 1 bag every 3 days or so.
you get 3 Rings with each 25 bags not one. so its a third of your calculation
The germaphobe in me loves this. My wallet on the other hand.
Everyone:
Freaking out about coronavirus
Me:
Watching some guy review a trashcan
3 3 0 1 me too🤣🤣
U should worry about the meteor 😂 not this virus
I'd like to see a strength test done on the bags. For example put the sharp top of a can in there with a new bag so that the sharp edge touches the bag then see if the bag gets cut as you take it to the main trash can outside. That bag sounds thin walled when you handled it.
I wouldn’t mind using that exclusively for my cat’s litter. Once the smell gets too bad, just press the button to seal the bag.
They sell some diaper canisters that iv see the top spins (if its empty the bag just spins if it's full or halfway filled it will "seal" the bag you only need to tie it)
Save yourself alot of money
Oooooh. Good idea! Right now I use grocery store plastic bags to bag the litter. I buy the litter in those large tubs. I have the full tub I use to replenish the litter, and an empty one I use for dropping in the soiled bags. By the time it's full of soiled litter, it's about time to get a new bin of fresh litter, and I can switch out the bins again.
@@bobcarn gross, why not toss the bags out as soon as you can instead of hoarding a bin of cat poop
Wouldn’t a diaper bucket be much more practical and more reasonable and environmental friendly in use? Would use much less plastic, since it twists and seals just after each scoop of litter/poop? Ooops, see someone else said this already... PS! I recommended such a bucket to a lady with a stomi (bag on her belly) and she loved it, she was so worried it would smell when she changed while travelling etc, and the bucket proved to be a godsend for her...
Ray Stull - It’s not practical for everybody, easy if you have your bins in an attached garage, but if you have to go out, down the hall, down X number of floors to the garage in the basement and down the garage to where the large bins are, you may not want to do that every time one of your several cats does a little #2... Just sayin’...☺️
I’ll admit that I’m not that impressed either. To me, if it compacted the trash when full to allow more trash to be put in it would be better.
the dustbin sounds so grumpy. its like its saying, oh... you're back? fine give me your trash...
I bought one for $90 on Amazon. It's considerably cheaper, still not really worth it, but it's a cool gadget.
Can see one flaw with the trash can...dogs (and cats) will figure out the sensor and get the food. 🤣🤣
Muze Rhythm nah, I’ve had a trash can that has a “no touch” feature for about a year (it was like $30 and much bigger than this, plus it was cool at the time). I have 3 dogs and one that can actually reach the trash can’s sensor if she wanted to and she has yet to figure it out.
@@michaelgriffiths8329 Just wait..they're watching 👀 you and play dumb but one morning you'll find it open and they will blame each other.🤣🤣 (just joking😁)
Bailey: no thank you, Thing!
thanks James. I bought this very expensive item because my puggle dog would always get into the trash. I figured he couldn't open it because the sensor said it was so far up. well you are right. it's about 8 inches. and my dog figure out if he just leans over the top it opens. He pulled the ring out and and knocked it over and well diapers and wet wipes all over the floor. I replaced the bag ring thinking he wouldn't be able to do that again. The dog is smarter than me! again pulled out the ring and though there was nothing in the bag all the bag material was pulled down from the ring though it's still connected to the ring, I can't figure out how to stuff it back inside. haven't heard from the company either. the replacement bag ring costs about 25$ so now unless I buy another ring..its now just an ordinary trash can
I can see how this would be good in the bathroom not needing to touch anything that is in contact with the used paper it just lifts up and you pick up the sealed bag
I’m guessing it would be most useful in a bathroom where you wouldn’t want to touch the can to put in trash or see what has been discarded while changing out the bag.
This should be a $40 item that sells with the three refill rings for an additional $5.
The higher they charge you for the refills and the trashcan itself makes it seem more like a luxury novelty item.
Yumifreak3 it new I see this being the future for slot cheaper too. Just wait for a bigger company to buy them off.
So Toby Flanderson now does trash cans reviewes. I see. You deserved this, Toby!
I like it. Dont have to touch dirty trashbag everytime i change bags. I could press the button, walk away and do cleaning, them come back later ready for the full bag to be taken outside
I’ve got this for my son’s nursery. I love that it seals the bags for me so I don’t have to smell the diaper stank as I tie up the bags. Well worth it to me!
Diaper genie's are so much better though.
@@omens_slays They work, but compared to this, there are a bunch of extra steps with the Diaper Genie to seal the odors. If you can afford it, I would rather have had this for my nursery and then when I didn't need it there anymore, I could ave used it for when I cleaned the liter box! lol
Bags worth more than your diapers
You have to much money, please make a donation to the me charity immedietly.
My grandmother used to wash diapers, no waste, no environmental hazard. Nobody now days can do anything difficult anymore. Were all spoiled
It sure Looks like a modern looking "diaper gene"
My Simple Human step on trash can already makes me fairly happy.
I wish it compresses the trash. Now that would be super impressive!
As a professional cleaner who has cleaned in hundreds of peoples homes, I can say 100% that these garbage cans are NOT worth $5, not even close to the humongous price tag. Most of the time it detects motion when you walk by and stays open so then it smells. So it stays open for no reason most of the time, useless. And $120 isn't even expensive for these kinds of cans, here in Canada at Bed Bath and Beyond, there's multiple over $150 or even $200
+1 I have a bin that gets activated by a sensor and it is constantly going off everytime someone walks past.
The constant waving would annoy me. If they had just the automatic tie and bag replacement, that would be fine
If it had the "twist bag closed" as it's closing like the Munchkin diaper genie, I would totally buy it. Awesome review!
As a new mom, I would LOVE this as a diaper pail!!
It's basically a higher tech, way more expensive diaper genie anyway
That's a pretty cool trash can, if it was a bigger size and less money I might think about getting one. Awesome review James!
25 bucks for 75 bags? Are they made of diamonds? I can get 75 regular trash bags for like 2 bucks
I have this trash can. The trick is to activate the sensor with the trash you're going to throw away. That way you don't have to reach down and can throw away the trash in one motion.
Your excitement at watching that trash can go was so wholesome and endearing I love it
cool product but needs to be scaled to a larger size. if they could do that for a large kitchen trash can id order one
Everyone who used it here said the same thing: Needs to be bigger!
Freakin' Reviews - Everyone in North America, I bet. I don’t know anyone who has the usual American size trashcan here in Norway. We just don’t produce as much trash as over there, that can is more than big enough for the trash that doesn’t go in the recycle bins or igloo’s (we have food/compostable, paper, plastic, glass/metal cans, batteries/electric, bottles for deposit(you get money back for them at the store) and what doesn’t go in any of the others, which means that can doesn’t need to be huge).
I have a 13 gallon trash can like most americans but it takes me about 2 weeks to fill it one time. (Family of 2 with 2 dogs). This can would be perfect for me in capacity but the height would be an issue with the dogs in the house. It would be perfect for a pull out trash drawer though, if the button was on top.
1auntievenom That's another difference - family of 5 here, with the dog and 3 cats. Even if I had the recycling you do (and as rural as I am, I don't see it happening) we still would go through a lot more trash.
@@WintrBorn I think that is a crying shame that rural places do not have access to recycling in 2020. I, being in the city, do have recycling but it has been massively cut because china is not taking our crap anymore. We only recycle 2 plastics, paper, tin, aluminum and steel.
In my house, we do not purchase food items that come in plastic in the first place where we can help it. I have a berkey water filter and a reusable bottle that I never leave home without. I compost and before I could compost, I used a worm bin. We have been brainwashed to think that we need that stiff and we do not. Our planet has limited resources and our lack of respect for her is coming at great cost.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse, rot!
For sure thought my internet froze at the 4min mark for few seconds
Yeah it’s motor for when the bun lifts up is a lil annoying just a lil but this is a really great product
The elderly lady I work with that has arthritis would love this. She has trouble tying the bags with the pain in her fingers.
Yeah as someone with ms thinking be helpful have cats and box empty and trash lifting and tying is a task
Never thought I'd say these words : That's an impressive trash can.

This would be most useful in a medical environment like in a doctor's office, laboratory, any medical waste. If they made it out of a germ resistant material or metal, that would be the ultimate application for this technology!!

@@chrisgraham2904 or just use a foot pedal
That’s cool but that lid closes to fast/slow and that would drive me crazy.
The ring of trash bags is cool, since that's actually very close to how the plastic is manufactured before it's formed into flat bags. Love the auto seal, auto reload. Give me that on a 33 gal can.
I just ordered one this morning
thanks for the review now I see how helpful it will be, because we never had a trash can before we just used shopping bags but since the new law here in Oregon bans plastic shopping bags this will come in really helpful.👍
Love the reviews.. I have 6 kids this would last 2 minutes
Did Bailey ever get used to that trash can? She didn’t react the way I thought she would. I thought you might put some food wrappers in there, and that she would figure out how to get in there and make a mess. Love seeing her, and Daisy. But haven’t seen much of Daisy recently.
I have 2 trash cans that open when something comes close to the unit. I use one for trash and the other for recycling (the cans are one unit). I love it. Not easy to change the bag (don't need one for recycling) though but we got used to the lid opening by itself and when we go elsewhere, we look like idiots waiting for the lid to open, waving our hand over it. You have to remember that with recycling and composting, we are generating less and less garbage so that size might be just enough to last awhile.
The motion sensor lid is not required. A good mechanical foot pedal would be plenty efficient. It would save on cost as well.
but i am better
What kind of batteries do you require?
Hang on, I have to go plug in my trash can.
One man’s trash is another man’s 120$ treasure.
I can understand the use on this. However I think they should have a sensor on the side facing down so you can just step in front of it and have it open. Also, I would much prefer no lid so I can just toss and go but people with kids might have issues. Maybe a silicone seal on the lids to help keep in odors. As for the charing indicator, I can guess that's on the inside so when you use it you see those lights that remind you when to charge it. Though I feel like a constant power supply would be better for some cases. This would be perfect for diapers and such though. Auto seals the bag and everything. It would be cool if it had a front panel where it could push/eject the bag before it auto changed the bag. So you could just walk up and see the bag and grab it and use the trash can in one shot.
Great review! It’s very cool but a little pricey. Is Bailey still scared of it?
Phew Im 22 Feeling 72, BECAUSE, I Would NOT Buy That🤣 Idc If It Was $10!!! Ill Stick To My Regular MANUAL Trash Can🤣🤣‼️
Damn right, son.
Same it would get annoying 8f the sensor dosent work as welk as it should my pedal can works EVERYTIME
A trash can and the hairbrush are nearly the only thing left that isn't electronic and "smart", we probably need to leave it that way.
I would like too see how it functions when its on the edge of overflow but isn't enough to hold the lid up.
It seems like small trash,, ice cream wrappers,, cups,, it would bind the thermo seal
They did just release it. And I’m sure once they get a larger one that people will want the price would probably go up. Take coolers for instance. I’m sure a lot of people said “oh why put a fridge/freezer in your car when you can get a way cheaper cooler and buy ice” they sold those fridge freezers for so cheap and now look at them. ARB goes for about 900 now. About 3 years ago they were selling for about 700. Dometic same story. This is them testing waters see what kind of demand there is and what people like and dislike about them and improve on that. I’d wait until they come out with bigger ones and see how long they last! Who knows maybe they’ll get a different bag setup where you can just go to your local supermarket and purchase the bags there for cheaper. Or a different company that sells identical bags for cheaper. I know Food Saver had the same issue when they were first released. Could only use their bags. And now the market is full of bags for their products that work. Just not as well.
I had one of these in the Sims
Yes! But, sadly, this one doesn't earn money every time you use it! 😂😂😂
No way I'd buy this. Initial cost, then refills? Plus, its teeny!
A bigger can will contain more garbage, but more garbage smells more. Mine is a family of 3 and we had a big garbage bin, which would take forever to get filled up and by the end of it, it would stink so much. We had to switch to a small bin - yeah, we throw it out more often, but it doesn't smell as much, nearly at all.
The only thing I can see using this with us when scooping the litter box. But diaper genies work too. Or the one that's for cat litter scooping. You could buy both brand new & still save money.
at the end of the review:
"...so in conclusion, it's trash"
I wouldn't pay that much but my son in a wheelchair this would be great for.
Yes, pedal buckets are real annoying when you use them from a sitting position...🧐
this would be useful next to a desk. like in a computer/gaming room. someplace where itll be next to you when your sitting down. so the inferred sensor will be close and convenient for you.
The trash can that opens automatically is interesting. I also have one. There are many kinds of trash cans in the world! The video was very interesting. I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)
