Does it need batteries?

Yes, the sensor lid runs on batteries. The listing does not clearly state the battery type, so check the can or packaging before buying.

The bin is 58L, so a bag sized for roughly 50 to 60L works best. Owners report Hefty bags fit well.

Is the lid only motion-activated?

The lid opens with a wave and closes gently on its own. There is no stated manual override, so if the motor fails the lid may not work.

How often will I empty it?

At 58L, most households fill it in about a week, which owners cite as a main reason they like it.

Will it fit in a tight space?

The slim rectangular body is designed for narrow gaps beside counters and in bathrooms or offices.

How does it compare with a manual stainless can?

It offers hands-free opening and a large capacity, but a manual can has no motor to fail, which is the main complaint here.
