Our review
Ninestars' 13-gallon oval touchless can is the budget route to hands-free trash. A wave of the hand opens the lid, and a button keeps it resting open for bigger cleanups.
The 50-liter body is fingerprint-resistant stainless steel with a removable liner ring, and the lid closes to seal in odors. It runs on three C batteries (not included); the listing claims up to nine months of power and a two-year support program. Reviewers like the modern stainless look and the 13.2-gallon capacity, which suits families.
Reliability is the catch. Functionality and lid operation are the most-discussed topics, with some owners saying the sensor stops working or the lid only works half the time, and multiple customers report it breaking within ten months. Battery life gets mixed reviews too. Keep your receipt and the warranty details handy.
