Sorry the pic is horrible quality but im writing this on my laptop. I love these trash cans! They were super affordable compared to my old one bought at a big box store that cost just as much for just one can and it wasnt motion sensored. The motion sensor on both the cans is super reactive and works great. The size of both of them are great! The tall kitchen one is a true 13 gallon and it fits so much more trash then my old 10.2. The small bathroom can is a true 3 gallon and holds a lot more also. The both arrived in great condition, no dings or scratches. Both look great and work great. But dont forget to buy your batteries as they dont come with them!

Quick Summary:* Great value with a large and small trash can included* Large trash can features a redesigned battery chamber that takes 3 x C batteries* Small trash can takes 4 x D batteries in a compartment protected in the bottom* Great oblong shape for tighter spacesDetailed Review:After purchasing the , I was disappointed to find that the battery compartment in two separate chambers for the D batteries began to rust. As we use this trash can in the kitchen, it's not uncommon to throw away table scraps or cutaways from vegetables, etc. The old battery compartment had two rather flimsy covers and the battery contacts consisted of push on contacts that rusted easily. That garbage can became non-functional and we now use it without the lid.In the interim, I had also bought the very highly reviewed . We actually love that trash can too. It has a few design features, including an odor-free chamber that you can place a bag to absorb odors. However, that trash can is a square shape and although we really liked it for upstairs, we needed a narrower/wider oblong trash can for the kitchen.With some hesistation, I ordered the trash can set here. Even if I had to replace it in two years, I figured the value with an included small trash can might make it worth it. I also hoped that the rusting battery compartment was just a fluke on the first one.Immediately when I opened the new trash can, I noticed that the battery compartment had been completely redesigned. Not only did the large trash can now take only 3 C batteries, but it also was a single chamber with a very tight cover. I'm hopeful with this redesign that the rusting issue I had in the very similar looking old model is a thing of the past.As for the small trash can, it interestingly takes 4 D batteries, but the battery chamber is held in the bottom beneath a plastic bucket that houses the trash. Moisture should definitely NOT be an issue for this small trash can.Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase and thrilled with the value. If you've ever eyed SimpleHuman trash cans and suffered sticker shock, this Nine Stars package is a great relief.

This set was a surprising reward to me after getting it setup. Setup was a simple as opening a box and putting in 4 D batteries in each can. I had to laugh at me when attempting to get the little one to work. I searched all over the can to find the On Button. Then I heard this voice next to me say "look on the back" and there is was as big and bright as anyone could expect. That and that alone was the biggest issue about these cans.While I am with the little one permit a short it works and works well. It is sitting next to me as I click away and it is waiting for me to feed it but with the top closed and the red light off. The moment I get close to the motion device it turns red and opens its mouth to get fed. I keep a plastic bag in it; however, I believe when I remove it I will not include the bag. The inside container is removable and has so few dirt collecting points that a bag is redundant. We'll see and if excluding the bag creates a problem I will update this to include that information and now it is just the perfect little gizmo for a tidy workplace. Can on tghe left, shredder on the right and everything else in front of me. Unlike other cans that held the space this one has clean lines and just looks like a quality product and it is indeed a quality product. It just a can but more than that. It is a no smell can of high quality.The Big Mouth can is a fun can sorta. The lines are clean and the top works well. Ours is placed in a position that we cannot help but open the top almost every time one of us walks by. If the dogs are nearby they can't help but see and hear the top which leads to their barking. Thank goodness they have not attacked yet. It holds a 13 gallon bag with ease and the manner in which it's placed provides for no parts of the bag hanging out. Before I forget the one element of the design I would consider changing is placing a small hole on the bottom so that the plastic bag could be removed with ease instead of its not wanting to come out because the bag is so full. This hole would have to be one that opened only to the inside. That way should any liquid accidentally get in the bottom of the can it would stay in the can and not go onto the floor. I thought the batteries would not last any time; however, after constant use neither can has had to have its batteries replaced.Bottom Line: Two perfect trash cans that will enhance the appearance of almost any kitchen and provide practicality congruently. If kitchen space permits the small can would be perfect for use as a wet garbage can since the inner liner is solid and waterproof. This is just a fine set and I would buy it again without hesitation.

The trash cans are great. Very good price, but they have a sticker on the front of the trash can where the open and close buttons are and moisture gets behind it and messes with the sensor. It will start opening on it's own. Then it opens and won't close. So, take the sticker off and clean behind it.The manufacturers should put a clean protective cover over that area instead of a sticker for moisture to get behind. When mine stopped working and I took the sticker off, it started working immediately.

I use the small under the sink for compost and large for kitchen garbage. Works great, no complaints so far. Love the plastic ring it comes with so I can wrap the edges of the bag around it and tuck inside so the top of the bag doesn’t hang out over the bin. I’ve been using for a few weeks now and still using original batteries I bought, Energizer. You can’t use rechargeable which is disappointing but I guess realistically they wouldn’t be powerful enough and would likely hurt the mechanism over time. I wouldn’t recommend cheap batteries for same reason. Worth paying for decent long life batteries. I bought these after we got for our office kitchen and bathroom and I really liked them.
