The open and close mechanism is quick and smooth, powered by battery (4 x AA), with a master switch at the back in case you're going away and don't want to unnecessarily drain them. It's still quite a burden to have to buy and replace them though, and I can imagine that becoming a chore as time goes on.There's a separate rim piece which helps to secure bin bags inside the shell, over which the actual lid sits. Storage volume is good - we use 50L bags - and the lid closes securely enough to keep odours from escaping. The frame is sturdy and wipes clean nicely; the size and weight of the lid section does make that part a nuisance to clean as it catches dirt easily due to its height - most of itsitting below lid level.Getting the sensor to trigger can be slightly unpredictable: sometimes it takes two waves of your hand to get the lid to flip open, at other times it opens because a bird flew in front of the Sun (or at least, that's the explanation we came up with in our house). There are also Open/Close buttons, which also allow you the option of holding the lid in either state, which is useful during longer clean-up operations.The rose-gold finish is nice and adds a dash of colour without being incongruous or fussy, and although the lid opening speed is a bit snappy for my taste, everything works pretty much as it should. It's a nice item which makes the job of dealing with waste and recycling that bit more pleasant.

We have a bin that has a spring loaded lid but the catch has worn out so the lid won't close and always stays up. This bin, on the other hand, is a sensor bin which won't have that problem as the lid isn't controlled by a catch but by an infrared sensor..To work this bin requires 4 * AA batteries to work. These are not supplied and it would have been better if they were included.The sensor is on the front of the bin lid and works by holding your hand above it. If you keep your hand held there then the lid won't close. If you remove your hand then the lid will close in 5-6 seconds after removing it. If you need to use two hands to put your rubbish into this bin then there is an alternative to holding your hand over the sensor,you can press the open button and the bin lid will remain open, then press the close button when finished.The sensor can also sense when you walk past the bin sometimes so may open and surprise you. To prevent this use the off switch at the back of the bin lid so that the lid is turned off between uses.The rose gold bin lid is designed to make it look classy but it will probably mean that the bin lid needs to be cleaned more than a normal black bin lid, say, because the any dirt on it will be easier to see.Bin is also available in white (which again would show dirt on it more than this black one).The kids "really like this bin".Overall this bin is an improvement on our current bin.

I was pleased to have the option to review this product, as although I am very happy with our current big name brand bin, I have been looking at trying to find smarter solutions to where we store our household recycling waste which has to be separated. So when we received this bin I went to use it for our cardboard recycling which gets collect every two weeks. It needs 4 aa batteries which are not supplied, but luckily we had some many in the house, so I quickly fitted them and set it up to work. There is a button on the back which turns it on and off, and there is a sensor at the front which means when you hover your hand over it it opens. I was a little sceptical at first, I mean,batteries for a bin, do we really need to be so lazy that we don't open bins any more - furthermore I had visions of my two children leaving all electrical devices alone to play 'bin fun' for 48 hours and wear out the bin. Well they didn't, and they use it sensibly and they quite like it. I have found it very handy indeed for popping all packing in very quickly and with ease- its not a novelty...its quite handy! We are looking at having our kitchen redesigned and if we can't get suitable recylabling storage I would consider having 3 of these matching bins side by side to make recycling tidy and easier.I did find the look of the rose gold lid and little plastic to start of with,but not to the extent that it bothered me.

A good bin, but not perfect. We have three (trash, recycling, green recycling). We bought them during a huge promotion... but the regular price is way to high for what it is. Basically three pound's worth of electronics added to a bin.We also have two at work and all five of them have been in operation for maybe a year now - so I think I'm in a good position to comment on the shortcomings of this particular design. Basically, I like these bins, but they do have some flaws:1) The lid does not fit very tightly on the bin. You would not think that this would be a big problem, however the underside of the lid has a big flat "shelf" around it which tends to be pressed upwards by the contents of the bag once it starts to get full.As many items will be partially crushed boxes or cartons yearning for their freedom there can easily be enough upwards force to pop off the lid (see No. 2)2) The lid flap is quite fragile. One of the bins has a lid flap that is now held together by duct tape as a result of No. 13) The battery compartment is prone to corrosion. In one of the units either moisture from the garbage or leakage from the batteries (I'm not sure which) has made the battery contacts unreliable .So... you can make your own decision. I have no first-hand experience of other similar bins - so I don't know whether they have similar drawbacks. Other manufacturers do make similar bins.

I purchased this item as I wanted a bin that wouldn't take up a lot of floor space.This is a very compact strong robust bin.It takes 4 D X 4 batteries. I have found it very easy to use ie fitting the bin bag etc.I have given this product 5 stars for the seller and the courier of the product. Plus an overall 5 stars for packaging and the product itself. Arrived within the time limit it said. It fits quite simply behind my back door and gives you enough room to use the backdoor etc. The sensor is very sensitive you just wave your hand over the sensor of the bin and it opens and closes automatically. Excellent for when you don't want cross contamination whilst cooking or baking etc.....It is a bin that would give you a lot of service for years to come!! This 58 litre capacity bin also comes with a 5 yr guarantee from the manufacturer. They also have a helplineWhich is 08449840055. NB this bin does not have batteries included. I purchased duracell D size batteries for my unit.This is a very high quality durable product.I only give credit where it's due!!You won't be disappointed if you purchase this product. It is made by MORPHY RICHARDS. So that just speaks for itself!! A BIG THANK YOU TO AMAZON MARKETPLACE WEBSITE for using a very reliable high standard seller and courier. Plus for selling yet a very high quality and standard product!!Keep it up AMAZON!!

Tower Square Sensor Bin With Infrared Technology is a very good looking bin which will bring any kitchen style and a certain richness. The bin is large and it held a large bin liner plus it has a bin liner holder which holds the liner securely.The Infrared technology is so handy especially if your hands are wet or dirty as it only takes a quick wave of your hand and the bin lid is activated therefore the lid opens wide, it holds the lid up for a few seconds to allow you to get your rubbish in easily. There are two small buttons in the front of the bin if you wanted to turn the Infrared off, this I have done as every time I walked past the bin to go to the sink or when cooking the bin lid opens and it can be rather annoying after the first 5 - 6 times.The button or switch to turn the Infrared off is placed at the back of the bin and easily found.I do like the rose gold finish which certainly adds to the richness to the look o the bin, this is easily cleaned using a cloth though I would recommend you dry it or buff the shine up regularly as the bin lid shows every fingerprint or smudge.The actual bin is packaged well when delivered.I love the look of this bin and the gold and black of the bin really add to both style and richness of the bin.If you like your kitchen looking rich and stylish this is the bin for you.Happy to recommend.

Ok so it looks great... day 1 amazing!! Best bin in the world!! This was sadly short lived. Turns out it’s not very practical.... the lid isn’t open long enough to scrape a plate off so it closes onto your dirty plate, then you’ve got to wait for the sensor to reopen it... now with 4 sometimes 5 plates to scrape off plus pots etc you can imagine this gets a little frustrating. sometimes it’s fast to open sometimes not so fast it also within a day or so id say it started opening just half as wide as it should even with brand new batteries.... by day 5 It was far more frustrating to have the automatic lid than to not. so now it’s turned off and I open it myself by the corner of the lid. Quite easily.It’s quite a flimsy bin too it’s already got a big dent in the front and I have no idea how it’s happens just a few weeks old... changing the bag also seems like more hassle than with my previous bins. So if you have the patience of a saint and handle it with care perfect but for a family I’d say probably not.

This is a nicely stylish automated bin with a flip top lid. This came delivered in a very large box, but as it is a bin and hollow it wasn't heavy at all, just cumbersome. The body of the bin is well made and wipes clean from the occasional spill. I've been using regular black bin liners and they fit just fine into the bin. The clip on rim at the top holds them in place and is where the lid mechanism slots down on top. It takes 4 x AA batteries (not supplied) and a slow wave over the sensor will automatically lift the lid. A few seconds of inactivity later and the lid will automatically close. My bin had the rose gold lid, which is a bit coppery but shouldn't look out of place in most domestic settings.There is an off button if you find you are setting off the automatic sensor too much, but I've got it in the corner of a room and the only time I set it off is when I lean or reach over it.

This is my third, my other 2 were Morphy Richards. This one is slightly bigger a wider opening, black inside, the other ones were plastic chrome that wore off easily. It's less sensitive when you walk past doesn't keep opening and much quieter too. The finish on the outside being dull is better too, also much easier to clean. I hope this one lasts longer than the other ones. A feature on this is if you press the open button it stays open my others still shut after a few seconds it shuts when you press close which is a brilliant feature. So far so good.

great idea an electronic sensor lid just awave your hand over the lid and it raises , yes you could use a foot pedal typewhich would be cheaper , but whats the fun in that , its just a neat design , and a great capacity , the lid opening is also almost 90 degrees which gives plenty of access to dispose of your rubbish , the only down side it does use batteries , i started using rechargeable ones as its easier , you will notice as the battery life deteriorates the lid will not fully open ... also very nice design ...The Aston Martin of bins

Have used this bin for over a year now and it is on its second set of batteries. I thought the bin was faulty after about 4 months but it just needed an new set of batteries. Two minor niggles, the sensor can activate when walking past. The metal bin container has been rolled inwards at the top, this can make emptying a little difficult if the bag is over filled. Easy to keep clean and as new and is a boon in a kitchen leaving hands free when using. Tips don't be tempted to touch the lid and switch off when changing the bag.

I was not expecting much for a bin. Even one with infrared technology. But the build quality, and how it looks in the kitchen is amazing.I say to my wife 'It looks like one of your fancy lipsticks.'. The deep black, and the rose gold top ooze quality.The only thing is doesn't do is empty itself. And as the title says, you need 4 AA battries for it to work automatically.It is the ideal size for the waste sacks, and if you put the bin linner over and through the collor, then you don't even see the bag from the outside.

I live with three autistic people who will not touch a bin or rubbish so having been sick of moving everyone’s rubbish all the time I decided to invest in this bin. It’s great the batteries that came with it are still working after two months . It drew their attention the minute it came and they used it loads . The novelty has worn off but they will still use it . I only gave four stars as it’s difficult to get the bin bags out when full . Suction and vacuum so strong bin bags required or they rip

The charcoal Tower Square Sensor Bin feels well made and looks good in our kitchen.4 AA batteries (not included with the bin) need to be fitted in the underside of the lid to make the sensor function to work. If you place your hand near the edge of the bin lid it opens, and closes after around 5 seconds, so no need to touch the bin with dirty hands.There is also a manual over-ride if needed. I have had no problems with this bin from Tower, and it is a good size at 58 litres.

Got this to replace our old bin which has given up the ghost on the opening motor... This is shorter but wider, but the build quality seems better and the opening mechanism seems a little firmer too. Took a while to figure out you have to push the left button to enable the auto open, after that no problem. Downside, just a little too short and wide for us to finally use and the silver finish on the lid is quick to get messy. Overall a good solid bin with some nice features.
