## Description

Our stylish Mirage-T Motion Sensor trash can has a fingerprint resistant coating over brushed stainless steel and offers sanitary, touchless trash disposal for your home. Offering the convenience of hands-free operation, the Mirage T sits flush against a wall or cabinet. The intelligent sensor opens only when you want it to. With the soft close feature, the lid descends gently and quietly. A simple touch switch will hold the lid open for longer when required. This no-liner sensor can allows greater trash volume (a full 13. 2G), but with smaller external dimensions - taking up less room but doing the same amount of work! The Mirage T has an easy-to-remove inner rim that holds your trash bag in place, facilitates changing, and helps keep the bag out of sight. 50L (13. 2 Gallon) capacity. Uses standard 13-gallon kitchen trash bags, no designer trash bags needed. EKO extra-strong kitchen trash bags are available - look for EKO model # EK33706B. Requires AA alkaline batteries, not included. Do not use rechargeable batteries. US-based customer service support team. Dimensions: 15.1"W x 10.2"D x 24.6"H. Height with lid open: 36"

Review: 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.
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the old costco liner fit in this new can?**
A: Yes, the plastic liner from the Costco one will fit. You just take off the plastic trim from the top of the old Costco can. Take off the plastic bag holder from the new can and put the old cans plastic trim piece on. Then the plastic liner goes in just like it did in the old trash can.

**Q: What is the actual width measurement- the product information states 9.8 and the photo dimensions show 10.2 W?**
A: I would say a little over 9 inches

**Q: Is there a plastic trash can inside the stainless one that holds the bag?**
A: No, the Mirage-T does not come with an inner liner.  It has a detachable rim that goes along the top of the can that holds the bag in place.

**Q: Se dañó el sensor, lo venden?**
A: No funciona el sensor como lo soluciono? Gracias
