How well do the "open" and "close" buttons work manually if you don't want to use the batteries for this item?

They work extremely well, but you still must have the batteries in the unit. I keep the pail on open while I am cleaning up after a meal. If you don't want the batteries on, you can turn the unit off. I love mine mainly because when my hands get icky, I never have to touch the lid.

I only used the manual button a few times as I wanted the can for the touchless feature... the whole lid failed in less than a year, just stopped working, my husband (a fixer of everything) tried to repair it but it was a lost cause. I don't recommend this can. If you aren't buying for the touchless feature I wouldn't waste your money... then again it would be a waste for the touchless feature also. Unless you don't mind paying this much for a can more than once a year. While working the can was great but it was too short lived for us, not worth the expense.

The Open and Close buttons require the item to also have working batteries. Without batteries, you must manually open and close the lid.

It does not rock with batteries...only manually. The batteries are for the music/light box.

Quite easily. The automatic locking feature can be easily retracted (just like a deadbolt in a door), and the manual feature with the opener requires only a tug on the provided rope. You can also purchase a battery backup to open the door when the power is out. It's an excellent system.

I have this hand grip and love it. As with all my electronics, I always turn them off when not in use. It is just in case. I have not experienced any problems with the unit by shutting off both switches. I would advise that you do the same. Can only help.

Not automatic; there's a little switch accessible from the bottom, that you'd use a small slotted screwdriver (or maybe a tiny key?) to move to either voltage. It's small--wear your glasses, if you have 'em. For myself, I'm glad it is a bit of a bother to do it, since I don't want it to un-adjust by accident. My guess is an auto-adjust feature, in addition to being risky to depend on at odd times, would raise the price above what I'd prefer to pay. Hope this helps your decision.

OK, in that case you will only need the one "Butler" unit, which, in fact, will work as a 3rd button for manual opening and closing. BTW, I installed a unit for my daughter on a system in which the buttons transmit codes like those of the remote control buttons. In this case, I had to work around in a little more complicated way since the "Butler" is basically a normally open/close contacts to operate relay type of system.

Doesn't seem to be... it is all digitally controlled, I dont have to do anything except not overfill and push the button. It turns off itself because everything is timed. I am using it a lot and no problems at all so far.

I think on the package it tells you you hold the button down for so many minutes and it will switch from one mode to another mode or switch it off. It works for me. I give it out as a Christmas gift this year and I tested it and it work fine before I wrapped it up.

I have not had any issues with this selector switching during use in manual mode. It has been a very reliable piece of equipment.

I found that is ate batteries quickly and when the batteries get low it will pretty much open to any code. There are plenty of reviews that discuss that issue. I just didn't find it a secure solution.

it uses LR41 button batteries . if you leave the batteries when not in use , they will go dead . their cheap . buy a bunch

the buttons are pretty "firm" so I haven't really had any issues with this being a problem. I have accidentally turned it off maybe once.

If you mean that once it is properly placed on the wrist and the button has been pushed....then yes it will do everything automatically from that point. You do have to press the button again to turn the power completely off. Nice unit.

I have changed the batteries out and have never had that problem. The battery compartment on ours does open very easily, though.

You have to hold down the button. But it isn't a big deal. You almost do it automatically.

Yes and yes. Don't maintain power for long periods. Burned one out when switch got stuck in the on position. Also retraction is not very strong. Any pressure on the latch will prevent retraction.

This gate has *no* automatic closures. You slide a thumb switch, then pull up on the gate and it will swing in or out. It may sound complex, but the whole maneuver is very intuitive.
