Title: The lid stopped working within 6 months.
Product review: After comparing step cans and prices at Wal-Mart, Kohls, Amazon and eBay, I found this can for $[...] at Costco and went for it. We all loved it, it was so convenient! The infrared sensor was iffy, sometimes it doesn't respond, but I had no problem pushing the open button, which worked fine to me. After 6 months though, the lid won't open either with the open button or the infrared sensor. Fresh batteries notwithstanding, I have to dig my fingernail under the lid to open it. Sure, the close button still works, but shouldn't I expect that my garbage can should outlive my garbage?Thank goodness I bought this at Costco, I can return it for a full refund even after 6 months. I'm going to get a reliable and durable step can and skip the $10 of batteries altogether. Good idea, but unreliable technology makes this a loser in the end.
