EKO Mirage-T 50 Liter / 13.2 Gallon Touchless Rectangular Motion Sensor Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel Finish

This trash can works perfectly. The motion sensor is fast and smooth, the lid closes quietly, and the stainless steel looks sleek and stays clean. The 50L capacity is great for a kitchen, and it fits regular 13-gallon bags. Excellent quality and totally worth it!

Okay, I love this garbage can (and who loves a garbage can) but I have extra requirements because I live in an apartment, I have seven (7) bird feeders and every day I have to clean the feeders, clean the guardrails and keep my terrace from smelling. Birds are fun but gross and I clean everything with paper towels. I have automatic soap dispensers and automatic garbage cans to limit the contact and alleviate the need for me to clean my entire kitchen every day. This automatic garbage can is great. You have several different ways to open it, you can put your had over the sensor and open it each time you come in from the terrace or you can touch the touch the first button and the lid stays open. I know most of these automatic cans do that but the majority have you physically open the lid your self which is actually a draw on the battery and in the end will kill a battery. This can has a setting for it, and it really helps. Waiving my hand over the sensor while carrying paper towels full of bird poo would not be the most sanitary moves. Another thing I really like is the sensor. Motion detection is not as trigger happy as all the other (seven) automatic garbage cans I have owned, it actually triggers from the back instead of the front so you do not get as many spurious lid opening, which I find really annoying and again, deplete those batteries. Noise level is almost nil. Build quality is amazing, shipping was excellent and you can see the designers have thought this can out a lot. It has a rubber bottom with some weight to it and does not slide around my kitchen which is excellent as it sits at the opening to my kitchen. Physically it is narrow enough so it does not impede foot traffic and it sits against my wall without traveling (that rubber bottom). The on/off switch is in back and easy to get to. The battery compartment has a button that must be turned to open to get to the batteries. Each battery has its own space with guides so the batteries go where they belong and do not move. I find this ingenious and there are so many complaints out there about the batter compartment. The can arrived in pristine condition with no scratches, dents or surface marks. Manufacturers supply you with ten EKO trash bags and they are right, those bags fit perfectly and in the end cost less because you can use the entire bag. I did try Glad and Hefty first and they did not work as well. The only thing I would comment on is the the battery housing is larger than average and the physical opening into the can is smaller than most but I have to honest, I don't care. This motion sensor can is really well designed.

So far so good! So hard to find a big trash can worth the price that isn't junk that makes you want to just go heck to old school plastic. Came in fast and all in one peice no dents unlike others said wich can honestly happen with anything and you can just return exchange try agian usualy shippings fualt anyway, works like charm just like in others videos. So quiet compared to my old one this one is shockingly quiet. Love the count down no longer cuaght off guard trying to scrape plates into trash before getting your hand smashed haha unlike my old ones diff type would catch ur hand in it every time. Love the stay open feature. Absolutely hated having to have 2 small trash cans in the house with this only need1 . Why they don't make more big ones like this dono we got tired of the footpeddle ones breaking nothing lasting a year. Wish though that bug trash cans would make those plasitc black inserts you could pull out with the trash take out and spray and clean of somthing exploded n leaked could clean the inside without having to get wet the entetire things and moving parts but so far only seeing that very rare option on smaller ones and rare. Hope they read this and Make it where you can buy those separate if you choose cuz I'll take a lil loss for room to clean without harming vital parts to rust. Some complain of its thin metal but I think they could be little more detailed in this explanation; there's a small medium n large thickness. I've seen plenty small as in one finger can push it in to dent. I wouldn't say this is the thickest whereudhave to realy get bad kick it to dent it, I'd say medium. So mayb agree if you got big dogs i can see them hurting it but by then you may want to stay away from anything but thick Comercial plastic if that's the issue n it's they can learn real eady to opem it get in it anyway foot pedles would be better for dog issues. Now as far as seeing many day it never lasts past 2 years, well my footpeddle ones were the same if you can find one or the other lasting longer let me kno lol. The price is worth becuase we first got a foot pedle target one only 15 gallon vs this 21 n it was more expensive then this one and cheaper made feeling we took it back it was thin metal out said good foot pedle said best there is type it was not any better then others really. So for price I think this is good well let you know how long it lasts. Even came with a set of free bags plent to not just a tiny amount to try sell their bags but plenty. Even the hubby who hated all our old hands free version even my parents 3 hands free, was die hard peddle can type cuz less to go wrong, now he's seeing they just don't make even those like they used to the target one that was more expensive then this way smaller even was no better then the 50$made ones for the footpeddle. So you have won the hubby over and that's hard once he's stuck on somthing he gets stuck and convinceing him to give it anther go few did not wanna return yet anoyher. His words was this is so nice really cool I like it perfect loll

I bought trash can October. It stop working in February. It doesn’t open or close now.

This trash can is almost perfect. The motion sensor is super convenient and works reliably, the size is ideal for my kitchen and fits nicely under the counter, and the stainless steel finish really is fingerprint resistant, which keeps it looking clean. That said, I ran into two problems with the unit I received. First, one of the foot pieces kept falling out when I unboxed it. I’m not sure why it wasn’t secure, but I used a bit of hanging putty to keep it in place and that solved the problem. The bigger issue is the deodorizer compartment. It simply does not stay closed when using the EKO filter refills that are supposed to be made for this can. I even tried trimming the filter smaller, but it still pops open. This makes the deodorizer feature essentially unusable, which is frustrating since it was one of the selling points of this model. Overall, it’s a stylish, convenient trash can that I use every day, but the deodorizer flaw keeps it from being a true 5-star product.

Très pratique, silencieuse, bien conçue. Attention toutefois si vous devez placer cette poubelle sous un plan de travail, le mécanisme se déclenche et provoque l’ouverture s’il est trop proche du plan de travail.

I never thought I would buy a self opening & this pricey of a garbage can. I can’t believe how much I love this piece. I’m getting back surgery in January & due to the nerve damage down the legs & in feet have been having trouble using the step functions on a regular can. I was constantly tripping so actually bought this for more of a safety issue for me. I also need surgery on my elbow for nerve damage in my hand (so much fun getting old lol) and with this I can use both hands to hold any garbage & no longer dropping items around the old can. Having said that, now that I have this can I would buy it even if I wasn’t having these issues. It’s beautiful & holds so much more garbage than my old round one. This model comes with 12 of the EKO white garbage bags but as others have stated the Costco ones fit perfectly. I haven’t used the deodorant compartment yet, I’ll have to see how much odor the garbage gives off since this one holds so much more than our old one. I’ve only had it a few days so will update if there are any issues. It is pricey but it’s worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you EKO for this quality product. Update February 2025: Still working perfectly. Because this trash can holds so much more garbage than my old round one I did find more odor about 3/4 full but only noticed when I opened the can. Closed it does seem to hold the odor in. I decided to try the odor control pads which definitely help so I don’t have to change the garbage bag until it’s full. You don’t really need them but I do like them as I’m sensitive to smells. I am also using the EKO trash bags provided as I wanted to see how they performed and they are a strong bag. There is no stretch to them (as with the Costco bags) but they fit like a glove and have yet to get a rip in any of them. Once I’m out of my costco bags I will be buying the EKO trash bags as they are stronger than the costco ones. When taking the garbage bag out there is no ‘suction’ as what would happen with my old round can and I would struggle pulling the bag out. These bags come out very easily which doesn’t seem like a big deal to some but with my back issues not having to struggle with getting the bag out is a big plus for me. Quality product all the way around. Very, very satisfied with these purchases and highly recommend. Update February 2026: Still working perfectly and still looks brand new. Quality, Quality product. Highly recommend EKO!!!

Buena calidad en los materiales con que está fabricado, gran capacidad y comodidad en su uso.

I do not recommend it. There are constant issues with opening and closing. I tried changing the batteries, but it still glitches very often.

Tamaño y precio excelentes Se ve bien en La Cocina y muy práctico Ha funcionado perfectamente después de meses de uso
