Dropping this reply from another 'motion activated trash can' on to this one as well. With a little soldering knowlege, you can wire these so you no longer have to worry about replacing batteries. My trash can is less than 6" away from an outlet and I had all the parts, so it was a no-brainer for me.

this is what I started with. it's a different model/voltage, and he uses a 6v DC power adapter, to match it up for his 6v model..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jc9dy3ohUA


I wired my trashcan to be USB powered, since using a voltmeter showed that my can required 1.5v in... I think this one runs at 6v like the video, so ymmv:

So... I've got USB connectors [amazon.com] and a USB male to USB male cable sitting around, which would be step 1. I bought a variety pack [amazon.com] for building other things. It came with Micro, which would make a little more sense for most people without a male to male cable on hand.

You just need to find the USB pinout for 5v+ and ground. Those get soldered to a buck converter [amazon.com] (mine came pre-labeled + and - on the underside), which will accept incoming voltage, and adjusts down via a Philips screw on the converters PCB. If you spring for the extra big ones [amazon.com], they have a little LCD screen on them that tells you the output voltage.

I soldered the output wires to the backside of the battery terminals. This allowed me to keep the PCB out of the way, and when I melted the window in the battery door, it sunk in the USB connector so it's actually out of the way of the batteries. I could unplug the USB from the back and run on batteries without any adjustments.
Here's where I love Slickdeals, (when I'm fiscally responsible) I've been procrastinating buying a new garbage since the ex moved out with the nicer trash can, (and using a trash can without a lid in the kitchen stinks) and here it is!

Then, lovely people comment on the fact that standard bags are actually 13 gallon, pointing out that the $35 deal is better, WITH a $1 filler, saving me from having to run another errand.

Thank you everyone!!
You'll be happy you spent the extra $5 when you see how hard it is to find 8 gallon bags. They exist, you just won't have all the options you have with 13 gallon bags (i.e. scented, drawstring, stretch material, etc.) Usually a single choice if they carry them at all.

What is automatic about it? Is it just opening the cover for you? Or it actually tights the garbage bag when it detects full?

I recently purchased an identical mainstays 13 gal version of this can at my local Walmart for $20, they were on clearance on A end cap.

I was looking in my Wally app for A simple garbage can and it showed me the actual local store price and all.

Ya I did. But it doesn't help to be a jackass. I added extra items and no matter what I couldn't get a delivery option. Luckily I kept refreshing and it finally worked after walking away for about 30 minutes and refreshing again.

These things last about a year and the mechanism fails. The cheap gears strip. Get the extended warranty.

About 5 years back I replaced all of my indoor trash cans with automatic versions as I really like not having to fuss with foot steps (SimpleHuman does it best if you must), or much worse, touching the lid. I can't comment on the insignia models, but if you have to pick one I'd suggest the bathroom. Having a lidded can (so the bathroom trash isn't in plain sight) that is completely touchless near the toilet is well worth a little $$ to me. All of my cans have lasted about 5 years without any issues, and I don't regret paying extra for them in the slightest. Here's the one I use in my master bath for examples sake:
