Amazon has this 2-pack of motion sensor bathroom trash cans for $34.99. Available in black or white. 2.7 gallon capacity, IPX5 waterproof, 0.1-second infrared sensor response, auto-closes after 5 seconds, "always open" mode via button press, removable inner ring for bag management, battery powered (AA, not included — alkaline recommended). Dimensions: 7"W × 9.8"L × 12.2"H. Sold by Eklinbash-US (3P seller).

The slim profile is the main sell — fits between a toilet and sink without issue, works well in any small space. The touchless lid is genuinely convenient for bathrooms and diaper duty. Bag management is better than expected thanks to the inner ring that locks bags in place without the slip-down mess. One reviewer got four months of battery life out of a set, which tracks with the 3–6 month estimate.

The honest caveats: the motion sensor is very sensitive, and a memorable review describes the can spontaneously opening and closing in a dark, empty bathroom — "possibly haunted." You can disable the sensor with the button and use it in manual mode, which solves it but slightly defeats the purpose. Some durability concerns also appear in reviews, particularly units failing after the first battery change. Customer service responses have been consistently praised when issues arise.

Requires 23.6" of clear space above the sensor — not suitable for under-sink placement.
