I once scrubbed my former aluminum trash can with a mystery mix of bleach, water and pine sol. That is how O.C.D I am about germs! Even after a thorough rub down and hose off, I still felt that it was infested so I chucked it. Crazy huh? And that trash can cost me 5o bucks.

Now before you go judging me and shaking your head, I had a couple of problems with my former aluminum trash can. It was a an oval shape, which I felt initially looked lovely but ended up being a problem moving forward. Whenever I would empty the trash the shape would make it difficult to lift the plastic bag freely from the can. For example whenever I had stuffed or crammed cardboard items (like cereal boxes) into the trash, when I would go to pull it out the edges in the bag would always get stuck and sometimes would even tear the bag. Truly a pain in the tooshie.

I made a solemn vow that my next trash can would be a simple circle. Which is why the Touchless, Automatic Sensor Trash Can appeals to me so much.

• much easier and more sanitary - the 100% touch-free operation is designed to open and close automatically by infrared sensor
• helps to create a germ-free environment, helps keep your hands clean while cooking and prevents cross contamination
• highly sensitive to prevent accidental opening and features a mechanically superior lid opening mechanism for longer lasting, more durable operation
• fits any standard sized trash bag
• and you can use AC power adapter to save on battery costs
• There is an Open/Close button on the front of the trashcan for manual operation and an On/Off power switch on the back
• also includes a trash bag retainer ring to secure the bag

I seriously think I love this trash can. I can’t think of anything I do not like about it.

Plus it is affordable, Price $ 89.99

Which if you have ever shopped for a decent aluminum trash can, with none of these features is a very reasonable price!
