Bathroom Trash Can with Lid, KOEYLE 2 Pack 2.2 Gallon Automatic Touchless Garbage Can

What buyers think

Buyer-review evidence points to a consistent theme: these trash cans are appreciated for being sleek, compact, and easy to live with in bathrooms. Multiple comments emphasize that the lid opens quickly and helps reduce the need to touch the rim, which some shoppers connect to better hygiene and less mess. Reviewers also frequently mention practical usability details, like using standard small liners, and features that keep the bag from collapsing inside the can.

On longevity and maintenance, feedback is generally positive, including reports of strong battery performance over extended use and an easy-to-clean body. The only recurring caveat in the feedback is that the sensor can be very responsive in certain settings, particularly if the detection area picks up frequent movement.

Design and size: made for small spaces

The key selling point here is the slim, rectangular footprint (about 7.64" L x 5.12" W x 12.2" H). That footprint helps it fit where bulkier bins struggle, like between a vanity and wall, in a bedroom corner, or in an office nook.

The 2.2-gallon capacity is intentionally modest, so it aligns with typical bathroom disposal (cotton pads, tissues, small wrappers). If your goal is a larger, higher-turnover kitchen bin, you may find yourself emptying more often.

How the touchless motion sensor works

This is an infrared-sensing motion trash can. When it detects movement, the lid opens automatically (around 0.1 seconds). If no motion is detected for about 5 seconds, the lid closes again.

There is also a manual “normally open” mode. By pressing the up-arrow button, you can keep the lid open for longer periods, then press the down-arrow to close after you’re done. This is useful for times when you’re actively discarding items, or when you do a longer cleanup routine.

Odor control and waterproof build

The lid and enclosure are built around a sealed, one-piece barrel design intended to isolate odors. In practice, that matters most in bathrooms, where you want the bin to stay out of sight and out of smell between trash days.

For moisture resistance, the trash can is rated IPX5, which is meant to handle splash environments. Shoppers using these in bathrooms typically value that the sensor area is designed with splash exposure in mind, not just dry-room storage.

Battery setup and daily convenience

The motion lid is battery-operated and requires AA batteries (not included). Reviews suggest that battery life can be strong with normal household use, so you are not constantly replacing cells.

Day-to-day, the touchless lid is the main convenience upgrade. If you’re switching from a step-can or a bin you have to lift by hand, the biggest change will be fewer rim touches and a more hands-free disposal flow.

Bag fit and liner tips

Buyers report that standard small liners can work, and that the interior bag ring helps hold the liner more securely in place. This reduces the common “bag slipping down” problem that can make bins messy or frustrating to re-line.

If you plan to reuse grocery bags or alternate liner sizes, pay attention to liner dimensions so the bag can sit properly on the interior ring and remain easy to remove.

Pros and cons recap

• Best for: bathrooms, bedrooms, and offices where you want a slim touchless bin with better odor containment and a splash-resistant design.
• Also a good fit for: people who dislike touching the lid, or who want an easy-to-use manual open backup.
• Who should avoid: shoppers needing a larger capacity kitchen bin, or anyone who cannot place the can away from constant passing movement (because the sensor can be very responsive).
• Main tradeoff: small 2.2-gallon size and battery requirements versus hygiene, speed, and convenience.
