The Mainstays Automatic Trash Can is a 13.2-gallon rectangular plastic bin with a touchless motion sensor lid. A wave of the hand opens it, and the lid soft-closes quietly instead of slamming. It runs on four AA batteries and also has manual touch buttons for when the sensor is off or the batteries run down. It suits kitchens, offices and laundry rooms where people want hands-free disposal without paying for a premium steel bin. Against sensor bins from brands like simplehuman, it is basic plastic with no liner ring or fingerprint-proof finish, but owners rate it well for the price and say the sensor and soft-close lid work as advertised.

This is a 13.2-gallon rectangular trash can with a motion sensor lid. Wave a hand over the sensor to open it without touching the can. The lid can also be opened with the soft-touch manual buttons.
The can is made of plastic resin with a black finish. The soft-close lid shuts quietly and smoothly instead of slamming. A built-in bag fixer with an air vent holds the liner in place and makes bag changes easier.
It fits standard 14.5-gallon trash bags, so no special liners are needed. It is intended for indoor household use in the kitchen, office or laundry room. To clean it, wipe with a soft damp cloth.
