Very happy with our new sensor can! The liner pocket is a really great idea and the rose gold steel matches our kitchen hardware perfectly! Next purchase is going to be the soap dispenser in the rose gold...

We love this trash can. The motion sensing lid works very well and doesn’t seem to use much battery power

I love this trashcan! Touchless and easy to use! My last one that was this same brand lasted forever! I only upgraded because I wanted this color!

Very nice can, could use some improvements

Very nice can.
Some features I didn't see in the description, the underside of the lid is lined with a plastic insert that makes it flush and allows for easy cleaning. The lid also has a blue light on the front edge that turns on when the motion sensor is activated then turns off letting you know it is going to close unless you activate the motion sensor again. The motion sensor is activated from both the top and the side. The bottom interior is concave plastic with air vents around the perimeter, the concave area will collect liquids if for some reason a bag leaks, and the vents break the suction to allow for easy removal of a full trash liner. This can is sturdy, and attractive with some well thought out design.

Here's my list where I see room for improvement.
It cannot be set against the wall, the lid hits the wall when it opens. It needs to be around 1/2" away to avoid damaging the lid or wall with continued use. My current resolution was to stack self adhesive felt pads to the back of the can near the top, until I find a more cosmetic resolution.

When opening the ring and lid to place a new liner the can becomes too heavy and will want to tip over on its back. My resolution, I filled a 1 quart Ziploc freezer bag with sand and placed it the the bottom, this counterbalanced the weight of the ring and lid enough to not tip over while placing a new liner in.
The onboard liner compartment is great until you or your husband has hand compacted the trash down which in turn pushes the liner and it's contents into the dispenser opening for the liners. When I went to remove the full liner it became a bit challenging as it was caught in the liner dispenser opening. My resolution, I cut a piece of old flexible polypropylene cutting mat and affixed it with duct tape to make a flap covering the liner dispenser hole, while allowing me to flip the flap up to retrieve a new liner.
It doesn't have portability, no handles, indents, cutouts to allow you to grab and drag the can around, although the plastic feet slide pretty well over the floor. I looked to see if simplehuman offered casters in lieu of feet and they don't. My resolution, I traced the bottom of the can on a piece of wood and cut it a bit larger than the can, painted the wood white to match my can, affixed casters to the wood, slid out the plastic feet it came with, and set the can on top, voila portability with just a push of one finger.
I have 2 simplehuman cans of different variety both, I would purchase again, they make quality products backed by warranties.
I also have a kitchen full of their slide out cabinet organizers, which are great.

This trash can is so quiet. I consider it my helping hand and even talk to it although it is not voice activated. It is really a pleasure to own.
