Are touchless sensor trash cans worth it for a bathroom?

Reviewers are genuinely split. Verified-purchase reviewers and some smarthome community posts praise the hands-free convenience and report battery life of months on a single set of AAs. But specialist BuyItForLife threads repeatedly warn that sensors fail, drain batteries faster than advertised, and aren't durable long-term. If you want a 1-2 year convenience purchase, sensor cans are fine; if you want a buy-it-for-life pick, step cans are the consensus answer.
