Strategist Associate Editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell appreciates this slim, rectangular trash can due to its rimless design that allows it to sit flush against walls. Additionally, its construction makes it "pretty sturdy," according to Jenna in one of her previous Strat Haul pieces.
Its durable brushed stainless steel body is built for long-term use and effortless cleanup, and its Linerlock bands keep bags secure in place.
This trash can features an automatic opening mechanism which responds when your hand passes by the sensor, making waste disposal simple and hygienic. As soon as your hand moves away from it, the lid closes with an easy, silent close.
Its sleek stainless steel material adds elegance to any kitchen environment, while its convenience of not having to touch the lid justifies its price.
Most touchless trash cans utilize a battery-powered motion sensor. If yours is malfunctioning, try to reset it according to manufacturer's instructions first; if that does not solve it, reach out directly to them for troubleshooting tips; they may offer up to 5-year warranties and free replacement units should the problem continue.
Mainstays' touchless trash can is an affordable yet efficient option that uses infrared technology to detect your hand and open its lid automatically when you wave your hand near it. Plus, its lid can even be locked so it doesn't open unexpectedly when scraping a paper plate is placed into it!
Anti-fingerprint commercial-grade stainless steel design looks great in any room and seals in odors for a fresh kitchen environment. An infrared sensor detects movement within 10 inches at 130-degree angles - three seconds after your hand or debris move away, the lid closes automatically!
Sensor trash cans come in various sizes to fit any space. While larger models are ideal for busy kitchens, smaller models work perfectly against bathroom vanities or home offices. Some models also come equipped with voice control or odor control features for optimal convenience.
Stainless steel trash cans are built for long-term durability. They can withstand daily usage without succumbing to wear and tear - including being knocked around, bent lids or foot pedals being stepped upon - with regular wiping with damp cloth helping maintain their appearance.
Brushed stainless steel trashcans are fingerprint-proof and less prone to streaking than non-brushed models, like our top pick. Furthermore, this model features a convenient compartment in the back to hold easy-grab bags as well as built-in odor protection; its sleek aesthetic makes this ideal for kitchen settings.
For those in search of an all-in-one trash can solution, this dual compartment recycle bin may be just what they need. Equipped with two distinct bins for sorting waste and an optional divider to keep both trash and recyclables separate, it promises convenience at its core.
This recycling bin features a strong wide steel pedal with lid shox technology for quiet close every time, as well as a stainless steel liner pocket which stores and dispensing liners faster changeout. A perfect addition for the kitchen or even an office environment looking to promote recycling.
This trash can accommodates standard 13-gallon kitchen trash bags and we recommend purchasing Simplehuman Code H custom fit trash bags via Amazon's Subscribe and Save program for an even deeper discount on your order.
Nothing halts the rhythm of your kitchen faster than having to stop midway through throwing something away to rinse your hands to avoid germs on the trash can. Ninestars has developed a touchless motion sensor trash can with infrared technology that automatically opens its lid when movement enters its range, remaining open as long as there's movement until softly closing three seconds after stopping moving.
These 13- and 18-gallon trash cans can be used for both garbage and recycling, featuring a ring liner to secure trash bags while looking great in any room in your home. Their fingerprint-resistant stainless steel design also means durability that lasts over time.
