The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the EKO Mirage-T lands as the best-rounded sensor can for the money. The-gadgeteer.com described it as a nicely constructed, good-looking, easy-to-use smart can that is also cordless and affordable, and a long r/carverscave review echoed that, praising the touchless operation, the fingerprint-resistant finish (which it said "isn't just hype"), and the 50L capacity. That same writeup conceded the can "spoils you, and that's both its greatest strength and its biggest flaw," hinting that once you rely on it, a failure is more annoying.
What reviewers liked
- Independent hands-on review (the-gadgeteer.com) calls it well-built, attractive, and affordable
- Fingerprint-resistant finish praised by r/carverscave as living up to claims
- Takes standard bags and offers 50L capacity at a lower price than premium rivals
Where it falls short
- An r/Costco owner reported the lid malfunctioning after a few months
- Manufacturer advises against rechargeable batteries, limiting battery options
- Reviewers note that, like all touchless cans, the sensor mechanism is a long-term reliability risk

Community signal from r/Costco is broadly favorable, with one commenter recommending the EKO motion-sensor cans alongside Kohler as much better value than alternatives. The recurring caution worth flagging: one r/Costco owner reported the lid acting up after a few months, and EKO's fix was to avoid rechargeable batteries entirely. With an Amazon rating of 4.3 across more than 14,000 reviews and a sub-$60 price, the trust-weighted consensus is that this is a strong default pick as long as you use alkaline batteries and don't expect lifetime durability from any touchless mechanism.

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 ...
