Ninestars Automatic Motion Sensor Trash Can, 13.2 Gal (50 L) Black — Infrared Touch-Free, Fingerprint‑Resistant Stainless

The Ninestars DZT-50-9BK is a 13.2-gallon touch-free trash can with infrared motion sensing and a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel body for cleaner, hands-free waste disposal.

Built for kitchens, dorms, and shared spaces, this automatic trash can uses proven infrared motion detection and soft-close mechanics to open the lid when motion is detected and close it three seconds after motion stops. The design includes a removable ring that tucks the bag inside for a neat appearance and a water-resistant sensor that helps protect electronics from spills. It runs on three C batteries (not included) and is engineered for long battery life in typical household use.

How does the motion sensor work and keep the lid from opening unintentionally?

The infrared sensor detects motion within roughly ten inches and a 130-degree sweep to activate the lid, while a short delay sensing feature reduces accidental openings from passing pets or people. The lid stays open as long as motion remains in range, then closes automatically three seconds after motion stops.

• Infrared detection range: ~10 inches and 130 degrees
• Delay sensing reduces false triggers from pets and traffic
• Automatic three-second close after motion ends
• Soft-close mechanism minimizes noise and wear

What materials and finishes does this trash can use for durability and cleaning?

The can’s body is stainless steel with a fingerprint-resistant finish to reduce smudges and simplify upkeep. The sensor housing is water-resistant to help protect against accidental kitchen splashes and light moisture exposure.

• Fingerprint-resistant stainless steel exterior
• Water-resistant infrared sensor housing
• Plastic lid components designed for gentle closing
• Removable inner ring keeps bags hidden and secure

How long will the batteries last, and what maintenance should I expect?

With normal daily household use, battery life can reach several months; alkaline C batteries are recommended for best performance. Routine maintenance involves replacing batteries as needed, wiping the exterior finish, and removing or rinsing the inner ring when changing bags.

• Requires 3 C-size batteries (not included)
• Alkaline batteries recommended for optimal life
• Simple hand-clean of exterior and lid components
• Removable bag ring for quick bag swaps and cleaning

What size trash bags fit and how does the bag ring improve appearance?

This 13.2-gallon can accepts standard kitchen trash bags and fits Ninestars custom NSTB-13-30 bags. The included ring secures the bag under the lid, keeping the bag concealed and preventing overhang for a tidier look.

• Fits standard 13–15 gallon kitchen bags and NSTB-13-30
• Ring liner hides bag edge for a clean exterior look
• Prevents bag slippage during use
• Suitable for kitchen, bedroom, office, or dorm room
