• "When buying home supplies, I didn’t give too much thought to trash cans. Outside of the primary trash can, other rooms needed a smaller trash can and I looked at various options. The Optimus caught my eye due to the touchless use and auto bag refill. The aesthetic also fit well with my existing home design.

I was intrigued whether it would work as advertised. Since it’s fairly compact (17L) you can use it for living room or the office. It's ideal for smaller items with infrequent usage. Currently I have this in my office and it blends in nicely with the rest of the furniture.

Setup is a breeze. The unit comes charged but you’ll want to do an initial full charge (2hr). Once charge should last 60 days so I’ll keep an eye on this. There's no integration with any other smart home systems but maybe that's coming? The connector is USB-C which is nice, no need for USB-A or USB micro. There is a thin display strip which provides pertinent status details. There's nothing to configure though, it works out of the box.

The touchless motion sensor works well once you figure out the approximate range. I do get a kick out of opening it - it’s like using the force! The mechanism feels sturdy but doesn’t add a lot of weight to the trash can. The auto-sealing function requires a long press and seals the existing bag within 5-10 seconds. The seal is extremely tight with no risk of any leakage or exposure.

Overall it’s much more convenient versus the traditional trash cans. It's also a cool device that will open more than one or two eyebrows. Enjoy the piece of mind of knowing that sealing and refilling is handled automatically. If you are looking for smart tech providing functional value, check it out!"

• "The trash can is spacious (it can even fit my entire arm!). The lid opening sensor works well when I close to it. The battery life seems to be very long (at least 90 days per instruction). Also, it is well-designed, I like how its color fits into my bathroom. Best investment this year."

• "The trash can capacity is ok to put in my bedroom. I like the white trash can color. The color matches for my room. It is easy to clean the trash can appearance. I just wipe it."

• "The trash can is smart and sensor. It can automatically open and close when I close the the trash can. It can also warp up your garbage and change the new trash bag automatically. The charge method is USB charge. I am getting to use this trash can."

• "My kids seem to be allergic to using bins or lifting lids so this is ideal - a wave of the hand and the lid lifts for you, makes throwing away the rubbish much more fun. Looks very posh in my bathroom too."
