Question 1

I see a lot of the reviews for this trash can are from years ago.  Can someone tell how it is holding up?  It seems most reviews are from 2006-2007.

Accepted Answer

I bought this in 2007, and left a review sometime in '08-'09 about how much I loved this trash can. We are still using the same one and have only had to change the batteries a few times (in 12 years). The only reason I'm buying a new one today is because my kids were messing around the other day and slammed the lid shut, breaking the gear. I just hope my new one can last as long as my first one did (who knows how much longer it could have gone if my kids hadn't busted it)!

Question 2

can you  lock the lid when you leave the house because of a curious dog

Accepted Answer

I just purchased one and there isn’t a way to “lock” it so your dogs can’t get in it. The only option is to turn off the power switch, but they can still get into it especially if they knock it over- the lid will just come off.

Question 3

Has any body use the electrical adaptor instead of the batteries?, and how it work out

Accepted Answer

I bought two of these trash cans in 2020, one of which was with the adapter. They both work great. The adapter just plugs into the can and the other end into an electrical outlet. Love both of them.

Question 4

Is the lid that opens plastic?

Accepted Answer

Plastic is not that durable. I had problems where the kid would not close all the way. Someone posted a video of this too. Be careful enclosing it manually if the kid does not close all the way because the plastic tab broke and now the lid does not open. They do not sell replacement parts for the lid only, and you’ll have to buy a whole new unit which is more than half the price of the can itself. Disappointing
