The can comes in several sizes and shapes, including rectangular and oval designs, and it runs on four D batteries that can last more than a year before needing replacement.\r\n\r\nThis kitchen gadget opens when it senses you in front of it, and its light blinks red to let you know when it's about to close. Our Test Kitchen experts, who gave it a whirl, were impressed by the swiftness with which it opened and the slight lag before it closed.\r\n\r\nThe stainless steel exterior is smudge-proof for a neat appearance, and the extra-wide opening allows you to dispose of bulky items easily. With over 19,000 reviews, this Amazon pick is set apart for its odor-neutralizing abilities, sleek design and reasonable price point.\r\n\r\n<strong>Size(s): <\/strong>3-, 13- and 16-gallon<strong> | Power Source: <\/strong>D batteries or AC adapter<strong>\u00a0| Material:<\/strong> Plastic or stainless steel<strong>\u00a0| Special Features: <\/strong>Odor filter, extra wide opening\r\n\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Smart\" product_name=\"Voice + Motion Rectangular Sensor Can\" pros=\"Motion- and voice-activated\" pros1=\"Built-in odor-absorbing technology\" pros2=\"Zero bag slippage and built-in bag storage\" pros3=\"Very quiet\" pros4=\"Runs on power or batteries\" cons=\"Voice feature is very sensitive\" cons1=\"Batteries die very quickly if used as primary power source\" cons2=\"Pricey\" image=\"1995368\" pr_name=\"Wayfair\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2Ffacilities-maintenance%2Fpdp%2Fsimplehuman-58l-rectangular-sensor-can-with-voice-and-motion-control-brushed-stainless-steel-shn10115.html\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" \/]\r\n\r\nIf you love having the best in tech, the <a href=\"https:\/\/fave.co\/3zTx07E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Simplehuman Voice + Motion Rectangular Sensor Can<\/a> is for you.

It's operated by AA batteries or a plug-in power cord and opens via a motion sensor and voice commands.\r\n\r\n\"I wasn't sure this Simplehuman trash would be worth the hefty price tag,\" says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/author\/kbandurski\/\">Katie Bandurski<\/a>, our Senior Shopping Editor, who's been testing this trash can in her home kitchen for a year. \"Well, I'm officially proven wrong. There is something so satisfying (and convenient!) about saying 'open can' when your hands are full of eggshells or raw chicken waste. And, thanks to the built-in odor absorber, I can take out the trash when it's <i>actually<\/i> full rather than when it starts to smell.\"\r\n\r\nThat said, the tech is far from perfect. \"I find the trash can opens to general noise, not just the 'open can' command,\" Katie says. \"It's pretty funny, actually, when I'm chatting with my husband, and it opens out of nowhere as if it wants to join the conversation.

More than 16,000 shoppers give this touchless trash can five stars\u2014and it's clear why.\r\n\r\nThis dual-compartment pull-out trash can includes a steel frame to install inside one of your cabinets. Plus, a handle on the front of the frame lets you pull the bin out via the smooth-rolling track\u2014without touching the trash can itself. The only downside?

However, there are a number of ways the lid might open. Most have a simple hinged design that swings upward but may also open length or width-wise. Other touchless trash cans have a \"butterfly lid\" with two side-by-side doors that lift open. Consider which design will work best for your kitchen, considering any clearances you might need under a counter or kitchen island, or near a wall.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Power source: <\/strong>Because they have built-in motion sensors, touchless trash cans generally need some type of power source\u2014typically batteries or a plug-in power cord. Battery-operated models can be placed anywhere in your kitchen, but you'll have to keep extra batteries on hand. Corded models require less maintenance, but they need to be placed close to an outlet.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Capacity:\u00a0<\/strong>It's important to find a trash can that's an appropriate size for your needs. If you get one that's too small, you'll find yourself emptying it constantly. However, if it's too big, the trash may start to smell before the bag gets full. On average, most kitchen trash cans hold around 13 gallons, but there are models that hold more than 20 gallons that may be better suited for larger households.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Special features: <\/strong>Some trash cans have additional features that make them convenient to use, in addition to a touchless opening mechanism. These might include a compartment for garbage bag storage, a built-in odor eliminator or even voice commands on high-tech models.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Why You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\nAs a group of amateur and professional cooks, the<em> Taste Recipes<\/em> team has created its fair share of kitchen messes. So, it's safe to say we know our way around a trash receptacle and would only recommend those we'd be comfortable keeping in our homes. Moreover, the Shopping Editors, specifically, test dozens of buzzy, new products monthly, so we're well-versed in sussing out whether fancy features and high technology are actually worth it or whether a gadget is just a flash in the pan, er, can. For this article, we inspected multiple models in person to evaluate the efficacy and speed of their motion sensors and ultimately ensure our suggestions to you are super sound.\r\n\r\nWe also spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lowe\u2019s<\/a> Store Manager Gary McCoy to gather information on what to look for in a touchless trash can.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-large wp-image-1995372 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Best-Touchless-Trash-Cans-for-More-Sanitary-Garbage-Disposal_TOHA_TrashBins_KS_09_07_005.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"The Best Touchless Trash Cans For More Sanitary Garbage Disposal Toha Trashbins Ks 09 07 005\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/>\r\n<h2>How We Found the Best Touchless Trash Cans<\/h2>\r\nWe found the best touchless trash cans through a combination of in-depth internet research and in-person testing. We started with a list of models that had generated considerable buzz, as well as some overlooked underdogs. Then, we combed through their specs and reviews to assess their legitimacy and weigh their value, novelty, capacity and performance. Additionally, we tested and reviewed a few models in person to confirm they worked as advertised.\r\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Are touchless trash cans worth it?<\/h3>\r\nRegardless of your needs, touchless trash cans are virtually always worth it. How much you want to spend, however, is up to you. Fortunately, touchless trash cans aren't necessarily as expensive as they sound. There are kitchen models that cost as little as $55 and as much as $300, and their sizes, appearances and features are just as varied. But they all make your kitchen that much more sanitary and hassle-free, so they're well worth it.\r\n<h3>Are touchless trash cans better than step?<\/h3>\r\nStep and touchless trash cans offer increased cleanliness, as they don't involve touching a lid, handle or flap with dirty hands. However, touchless trash cans, many of which are \"smart,\" might offer more features beyond increased cleanliness that low-tech step trash cans do not, such as an odor absorber, voice sensor, liner dispenser and compost caddy.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No need to get your hands dirty when throwing away garbage!
