EKO Phantom-T motion sensor trash can 13.2 gal (50L) Brushed Stainless — slim, touchless, soft-close lid

The EKO Phantom-T is a slim, 13.2‑gallon touchless stainless steel trash can that opens in 0.2 seconds and keeps waste out of sight with a soft‑close, dual‑wing lid.

This vertical motion‑sensor bin combines a narrow footprint with a large usable capacity and a fingerprint‑resistant brushed stainless finish. Designed for kitchens, home offices, and compact spaces, the Phantom‑T prioritizes hands‑free convenience and odor control while offering reliable battery‑powered operation and a discreet, modern look.

How quickly does the motion sensor respond and how long does the lid stay open?

The infrared sensor triggers the lid to open in about 0.2 seconds for immediate, touchless disposal. By default, the lid closes automatically after 5 seconds, but you can tap the stay‑open button to hold it open for up to 20 minutes—handy for cooking or sorting recyclables.

• 0.2 second sensor activation for near‑instant opening
• Automatic close after 5 seconds to contain odors
• Stay‑open mode holds lid for up to 20 minutes

What are the size and capacity details — will it fit in tight spaces?

The Phantom‑T packs 13.2 gallons of capacity into a slim 10.2" width, making it suitable where floor space is limited. Its vertical shape and dual‑wing lid reduce required overhead clearance, while the no‑inner‑bucket design increases usable volume compared with similar bins.

• Overall dimensions: 10.2" W × 15.12" D × 25.12" H (28.3" lid open)
• 13.2 gallon (50 liter) capacity with up to 25% more usable space
• Slim 10.2" footprint for narrow kitchens or office corners

What power source and maintenance should I expect?

The unit runs on four AA alkaline batteries and can provide up to eight months of typical use, so you won’t be changing batteries often. The matte brushed stainless body resists fingerprints and wipes clean easily; avoid rechargeable batteries to maintain sensor reliability.

• Powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included); up to ~8 months use
• Fingerprint‑resistant stainless steel finish for easy cleaning
• Anti‑slip base and sturdy construction for stable daily use

How does the lid design help with odors and placement?

The dual‑wing lid opens from the center to minimize overhead clearance and closes softly to cut down on noise. A tight‑sealing mechanism keeps smells contained and hides trash from view, while the soft‑close action reduces slamming and wear.

• Dual wing lid needs less overhead space than single‑panel lids
• Soft‑close action reduces noise and prolongs hinge life
• Tight seal helps keep odors and pests out

Who is this for? The EKO Phantom‑T 13.2 Gallon Motion Sensor Trash Can is ideal for homeowners or renters who want a hands‑free, space‑efficient waste solution with a modern stainless look. It suits busy cooks who need quick touchless disposal, small households or couples working in compact kitchens, and anyone seeking a low‑maintenance, fingerprint‑resistant bin for daily use. The included Code F bag samples and no‑inner‑bucket layout make it easy to start using immediately, while battery operation keeps installation cable‑free.
