This Simplehuman stainless steel trash can is perfect for the modern luxo-kitchen, and improves on the old foot-operated can by putting techno-sensors where that foot pedal used to be.

Just get your foot near it, and the thing comes popping open, ready to accept whatever refuse you deem expendable. Powered by either six D batteries or an AC outlet, it's an overpriced $200. – Charlie White
