EKO Mirage-T 50 Liter / 13.2 Gallon Touchless Rectangular Motion Sensor Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel Finish

The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the EKO Mirage-T is the touchless specialist of this group: a rectangular 13.2-gallon can whose motion sensor draws repeated praise for fast, smooth lid action. The-gadgeteer.com called it 'nicely constructed, nice looking, easy-to-use' and affordable, and a detailed r/carverscave writeup highlighted the touchless convenience and a genuinely fingerprint-resistant finish, while candidly noting it 'spoils you' enough that the price gives some buyers pause. At its lower brushed-finish price it undercuts the simplehuman sensor cans considerably.

What reviewers liked

  • Fast, smooth touchless lid action praised across reviewers
  • Fingerprint-resistant finish that r/carverscave says lives up to the hype
  • Large verified-purchase base (14,000+) and a positive the-gadgeteer.com review

Where it falls short

  • An r/Costco owner reported the lid 'acting up' after a few months and needing a replacement from EKO
  • EKO reportedly warns against using rechargeable batteries, limiting options
  • No independent testing-lab data present in the signals

The EKO Mirage-T spoils you, and that's both its greatest strength and its biggest flaw. In the end, whether this trash can is worth it depends on your ...

We bought a simplehuman trash can from the Simple Human website about 4 months ago. Haven't had any issues with it yet.
