Title: Good in principle - bad experience
Product review: Maybe this is just my experience... I certainly hope so.I found this trash can because it was actually cheaper than comparable step-cans. About a week after using it, it stopped working. I assumed the batteries had just run out so I specially ordered rechargeable D batteries and a specialty D battery charger. It still didn't work.Then, my boyfriend had the horrific experience of finding the entire inside of the lid of the trash can COVERED IN MAGGOTS. Yes. Tiny white worms. Gross. We assumed they must be fruit fly larvae since we had seen a few (only a few!) in the past couple of days.I don't know if it's something about the charcoal system that allowed them to nest inside there or what, but it was terrible.Needless to say, it is basically now just a regular trash can that we have to lift the top to to put our trash in. No charcoal. No electricity.Kind of a bummer.
