Tower T838005W Sensor Bin with Retainer Ring, Battery-Operated, 50L, White

Product Information

It contains motion sensors above and in front of the bin, to open effortlessly with a gentle wave of your hand. The sensors are designed in a very smart way so that the bin will only open if your hand is very near the bin, avoiding false triggers. Once the bin is open, the sensor range increases, so it will stay open until you have finished using it. In the same way, if you live on your own and have a large bin, you could end up leaving rubbish in your kitchen for long periods of time which will just result in nasty smells. According to iTouchless, this bin is very efficient in its energy usage, and as a result, one set of batteries can last up to 1.5 years. To reduce nasty smells, this bin has an activated carbon filter that can absorb the unpleasant odours from food and household waste. The surface of the bin is designed to be easy to clean, and the capacity and shape mean that this bin can use just about any regular 50 litre bags that you can find in any supermarket or online. No kitchen is complete without a safe and hygienic place to put your rubbish – a bin. Why not enjoy some of the finer leaps in technology and get yourself a bin that opens automatically with no need to touch it? We do truly live in the future.

This sensor bin from NETTA has a sturdy stainless-steel body with removable lid and liner, making it incredibly easy to clean and maintain. If your kitchen floor can be slippery, you’ll appreciate the non-skid bottom that will keep this bin in one place. This sensor bin from simplehuman is constructed with brushed stainless steel, giving it an elegant, classy look. Designed for efficiency, the batteries last for up to 1 year before needing a replacement. The Phantom recycling bin has a sleek stainless-steel finish that benefits from a finger-print resistant lacquer. The space-saving design means the bin can sit flush against a wall rather than taking up valuable floor space. This handy sensor bin from EKO has two individual colour-coded 20 litre sections to make keeping general waste and recycling separate easy. The motion sensor allows for automatic opening, but you can open the lid manually if needed too.

In addition to being more hygienic, sensor bins are also more convenient as you can easily get rid of waste food even when you have both hands full. As a general rule, the majority of small households (one or two people) will be more than fine with a bin of around 35 litres. The average household of between two and four people should go for a bin that is around 50 to 70 litres, and households larger than this will want an 80-litre bin or larger. This is ideal in a smaller kitchen. It features a sleek modern design that would fit in nicely into any kitchen. It takes 4 AA batteries, which are cheap and easy to replace. As a general rule, bigger households need larger bins. If you have a busy household and only a small kitchen bin, you could easily end up changing the bin daily and so would benefit from using a bigger kitchen bin.

This bin uses an infrared motion sensor to automatically open the bin as your hand approaches. The mechanism is energy efficient too, which means the batteries actually last around 20% longer than normal. The 80-litre capacity is more than enough for most households, helping to reduce the number of times this bin will need emptying.

Not only does this bin have a sleek, modern stainless-steel appearance, it has a fingerprint-resistant lacquer that means you never have to put up with unsightly marks. This modern, smart automatic bin from iTouchless is easy to use, convenient, and has a smart appearance too. The next consideration is the amount of space that you have in your kitchen. This should influence the shape of the bin you choose. If you do not have much floor space, you will want to find a bin that is taller rather than wider.

Of course, how much your household recycles and how much general waste you generate will influence this; some large households might find that a 50-litre bin is more than enough if their food waste or recycling is disposed of separately, for example.

This stops you from having to touch any part of the bin directly, avoiding contamination and keeping your house more hygienic. There are a variety of sizes of sensor bin available on the market today, most commonly between 40 and 50 litres. That being said, there are still sensor bins available that have larger or smaller capacities, and they come in a range of shapes too. Many sensor bins also have manual ‘open’ and ‘close’ buttons that you can use instead of the sensor mechanism.

It’s worth noting that this bin is a tad smaller than most of the other bins on this list. If you’ve got a large family, it might be best to opt for a higher capacity. Furthermore, the design of this bin doesn’t hide the bin liner, unlike many other sensor bins at this price point.
