iTouchless 13 Gallon Automatic Trash Can - Odor-Reducing Carbon Filter

Our review of the iTouchless 13 Gallon Automatic Trash Can finds it best suited for households that want a fuss-free, hands-free waste solution that actually reduces odors. The single biggest reason to buy is the built-in activated carbon filter gate which is designed to neutralize strong smells rather than just masking them. In everyday use the extra wide 11.75 in diagonal opening and responsive infrared sensor that opens within about 6 inches make disposal quick and clean, while the automatic closing helps keep the filter working between uses.

Key Features

• Automatic infrared lid: The advanced sensor opens the lid when you approach within roughly 6 in, allowing hands-free disposal and reducing contact with the can.
• Activated carbon filter gate: The pre-installed carbon filter is designed to eliminate and neutralize tough odors rather than simply masking them with fragrance.
• Extra wide opening: The 11.75 in diagonal opening accommodates larger or oversized waste so you do not have to jam items into the can.
• Battery or optional AC power: The can runs on batteries for cordless placement, with an optional AC adapter available separately for continuous power.
• Lid lock feature: A lid lock helps prevent accidental openings and keeps pets or children from triggering the sensor unintentionally.

Who It's For

The iTouchless 13 Gallon Automatic Trash Can is ideal for kitchens and busy households that need a modestly sized bin with reliable odor control and hands-free operation. Families who deal with food scraps or stronger kitchen odors will appreciate the activated carbon filter that does actual odor-neutralizing work between uses.

Less suitable for very large households that produce heavy volumes of trash multiple times per day, since the 13 gallon capacity will need more frequent emptying compared with larger models. Also, buyers who want a fully integrated power option should note the AC adapter is sold separately if they prefer not to use batteries.

Pros & Cons
