NINESTARS DZT-50-28SL Original Touchless Automatic Motion Sensor Trach Can, 13 Gal SL, Silver Trim

I came across this bin by mere coincidence when I was looking for another specific brand. Found this to be less than half the price and thought I would take the risk. Turned out to be the best decision. I have had this bin since May 2025 so 16 months now and it is GREAT. I was worried about choosing the silver one, but It is easy to clean, does not stain from finger prints or leave streaks when wiping clean and is anti skid. The batteries (not included in the purchase) last for a very long time, I have only changed them once and I have it in a heavy traffic area. It has not rusted compared to other more expensive brands that promise 10+ years of warranty. At first the sensor was too sensitive, not a fault actually, but for where I placed it, it became annoying because the lid would open every time anyone passed by the bin. I resolved this by covering the bottom half of the sensor with black electric tape. It worked like a charm. I dropped the lid several times and thought it would break but it didn't, until my son stepped on it by mistake when I had the lid on the floor and was emptying the trash. I messaged the seller through the "contact seller" option on Amazon and they immediately sent me the link for the replacement lid. Received it today and now I have a brand new bin. I highly recommend this bin, this brand and this seller. Update : I had read some reviews complaining about the lid opening and not closing and/or a red light flashing. This can be caused by one of three things: a) the batteries need changing (I know it sounds obvious, but we tend to forget sometimes) b) someone accidentally pressed the open/close button once. This opens the lid and keeps it open until the button is pressed again. This feature is there if and when you need the lid to remain open for more than the five seconds it is programmed to remain open. So pressing the button once deactivates the automatic closure and pressing it again, reactivates the auto closure (5 seconds after no motion sensed) c) Debris or rust could have accumulated inside the lid where the motor is. A simple spray like the one used for keyboard and computers would solve the problem. There are other solutions available on the internet if you search "how do I fix a ninestar lid not opening". I hope this helps those of you who are understandably frustrated. If you're considering this bin, do not think twice, go for it.

Great product!

Packaging was secure and impressive. The overall material is good although i expected the lid to be also made of stainless like the bin. But, still a nice product and works very well.

The lid sensor is red and not working 90% of the time or it detects but doesn't open. Faulty unit please refund or provide a new unit thanks

Absolutely satisfied 😌

Good Stops working after a year of use some glitch in the sensors it opens but doesn't close

Sensor worked 3 times then stopped Very upsetting

Although the bin presents well, the lid is silver plastic not made of metal materials, additionally the bin does not have an inner bin or bin liner tub. Not having a service bin defeat the point of a bin in the first place. Do not recommend this product.

I love the large size of the 80L, versus the smaller 40L version, as it cuts down on trips to the dumpster. Easily to assemble and works great. It's exactly what I needed to organize my kitchen. Build quality is solid. Only had it for a bit, so I can't speak to it's durability, but the lid sensor works flawlessly so far.

Ninestars? Should be TEN STARS. I LOVE this bin - I had a different one before - also touchless - it stopped working recently so I replaced it with this one - here are the two BIG differences: This one only needs TWO of the big batteries (previous one needed FOUR, which is a lot). This one, when it automatically opens (motion sensor), it stays open as long as your hand is in the bin. What does this matter? If you're scraping things off a plate and taking a bit longer - the PREVIOUS bin would still automatically try and close and always bang my hand - not a big deal, but just annoying. Then it would flip all the way open again and when I'd finished, I'd have to manually close it. THIS one opens automatically but does not close if my hand is still in there doing stuff. If I'm just dropping something in there and wakling away, then it closes automatically after a few seconds, but if I'm still there doing stuff, it does NOT automatically close - it politely waits for me to finish and when I leave, THEN it closes. LOVE this! And it's less expensive than the previous one - so I'm VERY happy. Very spacious (13 gallons)

Pros of can: stainless steel doesn't absorb odor, easy to clean, non rusting, good-looking, PERFECT size I only take trash out once a week and I'm not European by any means, fun-to-use, odor sealing lid, and heavy enough that a dog isn't very likely to knock it over. Again the size is like just right; it won't get to smelly sitting in there for too long, but it also won't fill up to quickly. If your dog is prone to this behavior, just go to the scrap yard and throw some lead weights in the bottom. More pros: there's a switch letting you turn off the sensor right in the middle back of the can under the lid, so if it opening when you walk past or a ghostly breeze passes by that won't be a problem. The lid stays propped open when the sensor is off, and can be opened manually without damaging anything. This isn't a cheap can, its obviously been well vetted by its engineers. The liner-retaining-ring makes it easy to place a bag and remove without getting your hands messy or spilling anything, and unless you're tossing rocks or gravel in here I don't see the bag slipping beneath the liner-retaining-ring. Also: you can fit things as-large or even slightly larger than a full gallon of milk container through the mouth of the lid of the can. I personally squish my empty plastic gallon containers to make more space and recommend it, but its good to know this is possible. This of course has a downside in that the perimeter of the can's non-lid opening (when you remove the lid) is to large for most bags, but I've solved that in the video posted. Negatives: bags are a huge challenge to find (edit: bags that aren't overpriced). Virtually every draw string bag out there doesn't fit, and drawstring bags are virtually always made with seams that make them prone to tears if you try to stretch, this can has an unusually large mouth and will only fit non-drawstring contractor bags. For someone like me who lives in a studio, you want a bag that has drawstrings to reduce odor so you don't have a smelly-smell when you accumulate one or two bags before trash pickup. Ninestars sells bags for the can, but they're 3x-4x the price (about a dollar a bag) of a typical garbage bag which is for me unacceptable. I didn't buy a great can to in-debt myself further with 3rd party bags. Other cons: a small number of people have had sensor issues, but these can all be resolved with a simple reset which is included in the instruction manual. The motor on average seems to last 1-3 years judging by the reviews here and the fact that most people don't write reviews. That being said, a medium minority have issues from the motor being damaged sometimes due to inadvertent damage from pushing down or forcing up the lid while the sensor is on. The lid cannot be opened manually while the sensor is on! There are two buttons "open" and "close" which allow you to open the can with the motor when the lid is "on", but you can't pick up the lid or push it down with the lid set to "on". its easy to turn the lid off for manual use; the switch is water proofed by a plastic cover and is in the center below the hinge of the lid on the interior backside of the can lid. Easy to do without lifting off the lid, which isn't difficult either. I believe that many of the people claiming their can broke within the first day or week simply didn't read instructions and made the mistake of forcing the lid while it was "on", as most people don't read instructions for your garbage can and its an easy mistake to make (speaking of which, turn off the lid when you have company over, and just leave it propped open). Tbh, the only problem most buyers will face is the lack of bags available (which I have solved in this video) and one last problem: potential liner-retaining-ring fragility. The liner retaining-ring is made of plastic and doesn't appear to be a particularly resilient or flexible plastic alloy. I wouldn't flex it very much, but to remove the bag you have to remove the retaining-ring and over time you run the risk of accidentally snapping it by say, putting it on the ground while you tie-up/remove the bag and pushing it between the can and the wall. The ring can be purchased on ninestars website but for 10$+13$ shipping, which is ridiculous for such a small part. Just put it somewhere where you won't kick it or anything while switching out bags, like a counter top. Pros-or-Cons-depending-on-who: This can uses 3 D-size batteries only; I've seen easy mods a non-electrician can do with a soldering iron that will allow you to make a plug for the can. From my usage, I only use hands-free sensor when cooking and I need my hands free, and these batteries should last 6 months or longer with that level of use. The batteries are about a dollar each so its really not that bad either. I prefer batteries because I like to be able to pickup and move my can when needed without the hassle of finding a wall outlet. Also, the lid isn't metal but rather a metal-painted plastic, but I don't think anyone really cares it doesn't make a difference. Also the bottom of the can isn't continuously metal, rather its made of some kind of black plastic; I don't know how this effects durability of the can. It could enhance life or shorten it; I'm guessing its better, a metal bottom can be bent and cause the can to wobble or be disbalanced, whereas the tough plastic-rubber bottom of this can appears to be more flexible; it also reduces the unpleasant "gong" like sound you get when moving a metal can. Apart from these few problems, this is an excellent can and well/fairly priced by the company. This is THE best can out there for your average Joe; For only 10$ more than a typical rubber-maid(TM) can you can get something that has hands-free action. Simple Human is over priced, even 65$ for a trash can is overpriced, you might think. But once you have this can, and you see the way it makes you enjoy picking up and keeping clean, $65 will seem like an investment in your future and a change to a new way of life you could have never before imagined for yourself. Yes I'm being a little extra, but I'm also being sort-of serious. I used to be a lazy dirty college student and this can has changed my life. Thank you ninestars for representing what is "Good and Green" in the world, as Sam Wise Gamgee might say. Just make that flimsy liner-retaining-ring out of a stronger plastic alloy and this will be the can of Emperors, and archaeologists will dig it up and believe we were a hobbit-sized people of beautiful satiny steel sarcophagi. This can is the ultimate in the evolution of garbage cans; I mean yeah if they said "thank you for stuffing me" or breathed sighs of relief every time you changed the bag that'd be cool, or if they ground your trash up into compost automatically or sorted refuse into recycables or by color or whatever... yada yada that would be cool. But if you want those things you're like a Vegan who doesn't eat Tofu. Get this can. Just get it and change your life for the better. Stop researching garbage cans for goodness sake all the info is here just buy the stupid can. Put googly eyes on it and name it after someone you hate, I don't care what you do just buy the can so the company stays in business and I can buy another one every 3-5 years for the rest of my life without scouring craigslist ads or ebay. This is the logitech z2300 of the garbage can world, it will rise in value after purposely poorly engineered cans which are designed to fail and be re-bought dominate the market and you're forced to buy a brand new z623 (not a bad subwoofer at all, I use and prefer this but the z2300 is better) because all the z2300s on craigslist are now 2-3x their original value 10+ years after manufacture. GET. THE. CAN.

Muy buen producto, fino, muy funcionalme encantó

It’s been working great for almost 2 years now. I’d buy another if needed. You don’t realize how handy it is not having to manually open the garbage lid until you never have to.
