Overview
The Ninestars 13 gallon rectangular can uses an infrared sensor to open the lid on a hand wave, sized for a family kitchen that generates bulky takeout boxes and needs a flush fit against a wall or island.
Motion-sensor cans live or die on lid seal and battery life rather than the sensor gimmick itself. This one runs on 2 D batteries rated for roughly 9 months and is backed by a two-year support program, and the removable liner ring is what actually keeps bag changes tidy rather than the touch-free opening alone.
- 13 gallon / 50L capacity
- Infrared motion sensor lid
- About 9 months per battery set
- Two-year support program
Who it's for
Good for a household kitchen where hands are often full or messy while cooking and where a rectangular can needs to sit flush against a wall, island, or cabinet run. Not the pick for someone who wants a plain lidded can with no batteries to manage.
Pros and cons
- Hands-free lid for messy or full hands
- Rectangular shape fits flush against walls and islands
- Removable liner ring simplifies bag changes
- Fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish
- Runs on 2 D batteries, not included
- No plug-in or rechargeable option mentioned
Performance notes
The infrared sensor opens the lid on a wave rather than needing contact, and the seller states roughly 9 months of runtime from 2 D batteries (not included). The lid is described as closing softly and sealing odors in, and the liner ring lifts out to make bag changes and edge cleanup easier.
