            It uses 21 gallons which is an odd number so they are hard to find. So anything bigger than that will work just fine.

                Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble contacting us. A red light flashing every 5-6 seconds usually signals a low battery or an issue with the sensor. Please email us at info@ninestarsusa.com so we can assist you directly and get this sorted out quickly. We’re here to help!

                  I have had mine for a couple of weeks now, and mine does the same thing. The batteries are brand new and the lid seems to be functioning as it should. I would have to believe that the blinking light is a normal function of this trash can

                  By|Oct 9, 2024


                    The directions say there is a soft open and close option, but they don’t say how to toggle that option on. Right now it opens and closes extremely fast and the sound is kind of jarring. Hoping someone can help me figure this out

                      Are the dimensions in the description correct…? Specifically the depth and width? The depth is greater than the width??? I’m assuming this is a mistake, can anyone confirm?

                          Arrived damaged
                          The can is everything I wanted except for the damage. It arrived damaged in shipping and of course it would be the front of the can that is damaged. Deciding if I want to return or just deal with it. I tried to push the dent out but all of it wouldn’t pop out. Very disappointed with how it was shipped.

                                firstly the store suggests or sends the wrong batteries. We were lucky to have the right size here. Put them in correctly. Nothing happens it doesn't move. Huge disappointment after waiting so long . very inconvenient for us

                                  Perfectly sized trashcan for my family. I love that we dont have to change the bags as often. The 21 gallon sized bags are hard to find in regular stores, however, 33 gallon work just fine.

                                  Slick
                                  I would leave a video review of this if I could. It shipped in one day, it holds 36 gallon garbage bags (though I did also purchase the fancy 21 gallon lavender scented bags), and the best part is the motion detector aspect that open the can without touching. My husband loves to cook but he's MESSY, which explains the state of our last garbage can. I thought this would look too huge, and despite holding a much bigger bag, it still looks like it belongs in a house. My picture shows it next to a typical 13 gallon can. Yup, it's slick.
