Trash can with sensor control

A trash can is used dozens of times a day. And if it has a touch control, the opening process will be as convenient and hygienic as possible. You don’t have to touch the lid every time — just press a button or simply wave your hand.
The kitchen garbage can is equipped with an innovative sensor system that allows you to open and close the lid without physical contact. The radius of action of the sensor is 11 inc. There are 3 modes for opening by:

  • Hand movement;
  • Touching the button;
  • Touching the body.

When the bin is not in use the lid is closed automatically and remains tightly closed. This prevents the spread of bacteria and unpleasant odors inside. Smart touch sensors react only to specific movements preventing false alarms.

The HOME Of Ester waste bucket has a rechargeable battery that comes with a cord. The charge lasts up to 3 months (provided the lid is opened about 30 times a day). The connector for the cable is at the back top of the case. The sensor does not work while charging.

There are no "+\-" markings on the battery. The sensor will not work if you place the battery incorrectly. In this case you need to change the position of the battery.
Household waste accumulated in the trash bucket is an ideal breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria. Especially when it comes to organics. One study found a host of pathogens in rotting household garbage including bacteria such as Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens. These bacteria cause severe food poisoning. That’s why you should not touch the lid of a conventional garbage can as it comes into direct contact with waste.

Any products for the kitchen should promote cleanliness and health safety. A garbage can with an airtight lid and sensor control is one such item. You don’t need to touch it — the sensors react to the proximity of your hands. This reduces the likelihood of coming into contact with dangerous bacteria to zero. The tight lid prevents the spread of odors that attract pests to the house. It opens outward not inward, so it stays cleaner longer.
Dimensions of the waste bin:

  • Volume — 1.5 gl;
  • Diameter — 8.6 inc;
  • Height outside with lid — 13 inc.

It is very easy to assemble the device:

  1. Place the garbage bag in the inner container;
  2. Insert the bin with the bag into the outer casing;
  3. Place the sensor lid on top.

The smart waste bucket has a stylish shape and a universal white color. It will successfully fit into any interior. The inner container is made of durable polypropylene, the outer casing is made of colored steel. The device is suitable for rooms with high humidity so it can be used even in the bathroom. The water resistance level is IPX5 (protection against water jets from any direction).

The touch bucket is characterized by its reliability and long service life. If it is used very actively, the spring on the lid may start to squeak after a year. To get rid of the squeak simply treat the spring with a silicone spray.
