I see a lot of the reviews for this trash can are from years ago. Can someone tell how it is holding up? It seems most reviews are from 2006-2007.

Our first one held up for at least 6 or 7 years. Then the battery door broke and the batteries would fall out. The new one, which has been in service for several months, has been re-designed and is much improved. It is quieter and the battery door appears to have been much improved. We would buy it again.

I purchased this in the beginning of 2011. The model has changed since I purchased it, since it was not a deodorizing can back then. It worked perfectly for over two years. Late last year the battery compartment broke, but some duct tape took care of that. However, at this point it no longer works consistently and usually I end up with the lid next to it on the floor. When I originally bought it, after looking at reviews, I excepted it to last for a year or two and felt that would be fine for $50. I am completely satisfied with a 3 year cycle, and I am back on Amazon today to purchase the can again. I purchased this in the beginning of 2011.

I purchased The Original Without the Deodorizer , when it was First Marketed & Sold sometime in Mid-2007 & it is still , Going Strong. There Have Been , Absolutely No Problems with it till today. ( AND , in the first 6 Months This " CAN ", must have opened & closed , like A Zillion Times , for the 100's of curious people who saw it. ).

I purchased the can some time in late 2010. I still have it, just the system is broken, so I have to open it manually each time. Also sometimes happens, that the bag inside falls all the way down and garbage is gets out of the bag and gets all over the can. It happens, because the system to fix the bag up is not working that well, if the plastic bag is empty and you throw something heavy inside. Then the whole thing falls to the bottom.

We've had ours for 3 1/2 years, and haven't had to change the batteries yet! (I hope I didn't just jinx it.) The bin is in good shape--no dents, still looks new. And it is an endless source of amazement to young and not-so-young children.

I bought this trashcan in June of 2009. It is still going strong. We have only had to change the batteries a couple of times (that I can remember). This is actually the second one we bought. The first one we bought broke due to my kids pushing the lid up too far and snapping it off. Otherwise, that one may still be going strong too. We love it. It's easy to clean and is very handy when your hands are full or dirty when trying to throw stuff away.

I bought this trash can earlier this year. I haven't had a single problem and I love it! I recommend it!

I bought my can in 2011, and it stopped working (motor died?) about a month ago. I've reached out to Amazon and the manufacturer, with no response/support. I wouldn't recommend it.

I purchased this exact model, in my local store, when it first came out years ago. Yes, it is still working, just like new. My wife and I use ours on a daily basis. We have had no trouble with neither shards of metal nor shreds of paper like other reviewers have complained, and the cord continues to retract and portract easily. You really cannot use the lid to push in and strain tuna, but we would not want to do that any (YUCK!), we just use a can strainer made for that specific purpose. We've used and had been through a lot of can openers and this particular one is by far the best we have used to date. Sorry about the rambling on but I wanted to share our particular experience. Hope this helps.

I also have not had a problem with it. In fact, it's held up great for the almost 2 years I've had it.

Hi Christine. I had all kinds of difficulty with my trash can. I thought it was awesome when I bought it, but it kept going off whenever anyone walked by (didn't matter how close or far they were away from the can). When my lid wouldn't close, I had to call them, and they told me to check and make sure the bag wasn't covering the front sensor on the can. I ended up returning it for a full refund. Too expensive for all the hassle I had with it. Sorry.

I think it does a pretty good job. I use it pretty typically, don't throw a ton of food waste in there, but some from time to time. It never smells while the lid is on. But if you open the lid for any extended amount of time when it's partially full... well... lets just say I'm glad I have the lid. So yeah, I think it does a good job for a plastic trash can of this cost.

We've had ours for quite some time, but we handle it with care when cleaning. It's not overly sturdy but the size is terrific and so far, so good.

I purchased mine in Oct 2009 and it's still working fine. I think the problem lies more with the can, itself, rather than the opener. I find that if I continue around the can a second time, the lid is cut through. I still think this is an excellent addition to my kitchen utensils and would definitely recommend it.

I haven't had a problem. Had mine since July 2013. It may have to do with the cleaners people use on it. I use an all natural cleaner.

I've had mine for at least a year or so and it has May 10 2012. Its still doing fine as long as you keep it dry.

No, it's not trash after a year. I think it is one of those lifelong type of batteries (like 30-year last life).

I've had mine for a few months and have used it a lot...sometimes I put too much in, but I've not noticed any gouging. Doesn't it have a 10 year guarantee? AS long as it still works and it's just looks, I personally wouldn't worry until it looks like it might actually be breaking apart. I guess it's just a bid DUNNO from me

We have had it almost two years and it is holding up well. It is not used every day, more like once or twice a week, but we have not experienced any problems. We make sure to clean it after evry use.

I have not had mine over a year BUT I am replying because I love mine. Even if it only lasted 6 months, I would buy it again. It keeps the kitchen looking nice and tidy.

I've had mine for over a year. It is very sturdy. I occasionally empty the litter and wash it out with bleach solution. I highly recommend this litter tray.

My recent shipment shows a "best used by" date of 4/2016. Also, my new shipment does not have a single damaged can! The cases were packed differently, so my assumption is that my prior negative review was taken seriously.

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!
