Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, it does look odd that all reviews (or most) are 5-star, and they were all done within a few days of each other. I too was very skeptical when I made the purchase. The only bad thing that I had is that the sensor did not swivel for me. However, their CS was terrific when I alerted them to the problem. Due to the CS, I do not think the issue warrants the deduction of a star. I have tried three others, and they are okay, but they don't compare to this can. 1. The A/C adapter (though not included) is fantastic. The others I had didn't have the option. 2. The switch is easily accessible if you need to turn it off. 3. The lid is much nicer than those that open like a clamshell. No matter the brand, a clamshell top will get disgusting, and it reduces the overall opening. This lid opens fully and does not obstruct the opening. 4. Due to 3, the can/lid will stay cleaner. My kids have a much easier time using it without messes. The short stature helps too. 5. The countdown on the lid closing is AMAZING. I haven't seen that with my others, and it is a huge advantage. Not only does it tell you when it is closing but, more importantly, it gives you immediate feedback if the sensor detected your hand for a second time to keep it from closing. With my others, you had to hope that it saw your hand. 6. The buttons for the manual open and close are hands-down the best I've seen. They are large and flush with the top rather than small and "bubbled." 7. Because this is rectangular, you can use the whole bag. What I mean is that the others (round or semi-round) do not make efficient use of the bag. When you remove the bag, the contents settle, and that means that you have an only half-used bag. With this being a rectangle, it keeps the bag open, so you get full use before you remove it. 8. Speaking of removal, it is much easier to remove this bag than the others. You can use the ring or not. If you don't, it holds the bag tighter (much tighter), but you do see it sticking out of the can. I just used the ring for the first time so it will be interesting to see if we have issues. I do not expect issues because the size of the can allows the bag to rest on the bottom.
