45L Semi-Round Sensor

A bin is a bin is a bin, right? Wrong. Of course, being a manufacturer of premium household goods, you expect top quality from Simplehuman, and they deliver. Almost every aspect of this bin has been thoughtfully considered. The battery compartment is on the rear of the bin where it won’t get gunky, there is bag storage so you can quickly and easily replace the liner while the lid is up, the opening is large enough that you can scrape plates or what have you into the bin without dropping stuff all over the floor (which is a “duh” design choice but so many manufacturers get it wrong), and the liner sizing is generous enough that I’m not emptying it every 3 days like on my old Brabantia bin. So what do I mean when I say “almost” every aspect has been considered? The sensor. Sometimes I walk near the bin and it opens, other times I am waving frantically over the top and across the front and it will finally register. I’m not sure *how* you rectify and iterate on this for future bins, but it definitely needs a little tweaking. With that said though, don’t let this little niggle put you off, it still works regardless. Price aside, it is a premium bin and you get what you pay for. If you’re a bit of a germaphobe like me, this bin will save your life (I mean, not really, but it’s a nice thing to have.)

I was hesitant for a while choosing between so many choices for sensor bin. At first the simplehuman bin seemed a bit pricy but when it arrived all my doubts disappeared. The bin is so stylish, with high quality to all details and most importantly to me- works flawlessly and almost unnoticed. With its 45l you don't have to run every single day to dispose the garbage and the lid closes so tightly that no odor is noticeable np matter what's inside. simplehuman- you made a great product indeed!

This bin has been used for about 3.5 years in between three different homes. I can honestly say this is the most expensive bin I've ever purchased, and I don't regret it! Yes, it's expensive, but at the same time it is much more reliable than previous ones. I have a feeling this will last a lifetime, thus I think it is worth it. I've had other bins that cost half as much, but they always end up broken. This one is going strong for years, which already made up the cost (had I not buy the others). Usually it is the sensor or the door motor that gets jammed and stops working, rendering it useless for its purpose. The batteries last very long, which means it is not literally 'eating' 4xD batteries every 3 months (and these are not cheap), like some others I've had. In conclusion, it has been working great all this time. Sometimes the sensor can get jammed if you leave your hand in there while it closes, but it recovers quickly. It is smart. We've never had a malfunction. Wipe it with spray and a cloth once in a while, and it is as good as new. The battery compartment is in a convenient location, just behind on top, holding 4xAA batteries. Careful that some bins have the batteries on the door itself, which I found it is not ideal. /// Pros \\\ * Automatic door * Reliable sensor * Batteries last a long time, from the efficient motor * Readily available bags to purchase with the exact size * Easy to clean * Location of the battery compartment * Aluminium construction /// Cons \\\ * Price * Big * Works best with simplehuman bags (but they are perfect to be fair)

So pleased with this bin , great quality and design and after a month the sensor is working well although if you walk near the bin it does open without request. Using the simple human bin liners make everything so easy and no more struggling to get the bin liners out when full . Never thought I would spend quite so much on a bin but after reading reviews of other brands this really is good . Using Amazon’s pay over 5 months has been helpful.

I bought this on a whim for our new house. We previously had one with the foot pedal that opened it up. I like this one way more. The first one we ordered was faulty and did absolutely nothing once out the box but good ole amazon had a replacement to me the next day and it works perfectly. The only gripe we have is how easily it tips over when it’s empty ie. When you need to change the bag. Both my husband and I have both had it topple right over with almost no provocation while we were changing the bag. Other than that it has a handy spot in the back that keep the pack of replacement bags which I think is awesome. No more hunting around. Just take out the full bag and immediately replace. It’s also moderately sensitive which means you aren’t waiting a million years for it to open and it stays open until you are done. All In all a purchase I am well satisfied with and can recommend to anyone else thinking of getting it. It’s pricey but built to last and convenient.

the way the bag folds over the top edge means the inside of the bin will never see waste so you will only be cleaning the outside. when you close the lid this then clamps (in a way) the bag in place. Your asked to rate a Lock feature and i gave it one star, it doesn't have a lock feature ! The bags a expensive but makes using the bin a better experience, we have all sampled lots of bags to save money but never fit well. these go in quickly and pull out perfectly, they are strong and you pull the strings and you have a closed bag to drop in the wheely bin. We had another make 40l bin and this is a 45l but we can fit more in this by quite a way, probably a couple of days more. This is because it is wider and things go in well, the other bin was a touch taller but much narrower and as a result thing ended up being jammed in which in turn makes it harder to pull the bag out. ( and then cheap bags split) The sensor works well and it wasn't the reason we bought it, it was the size. however we are not sure how long it will be before the dogs figure it out.....they are watching carefully at the moment.

Very quiet, opens and closes great and very smooth, looks good, the best sensor bin ive had. Doesnt shut on you like most do. Stays clean around the edges.

The sensor is quite nervous and will open the trash can if we walk by. Other than that it's great. The lid opens smoothly and quietly. The finish, like other Simple Human products is great. Glad 13 gallon trash can liners fit nicely too.

This design and brand is way better than the iTouchless models we've had in the past, as we've had several of them. The simplehuman engineering and design is better thought out and works great. The past 2 iTouchless models had lids that would raise up about 2/3 of the way and drop. The simplehuman concept is to raise the lid completely, fully, and pause there for a moment so you can scrape a plate if you have to without the lid collapsing on you. In fact the sensor will pop the lid again to extend the up mode until you are done. Uses dinky AA batteries, instead of 4 D batteries on the iTouchless, and it comes with form fitting garbage bags that are affordable on subscription - about as affordable as the ones we get at Publix, only they fit the simplehuman snugly. Overall a solid design and functions well. Haven't changed the batteries in 4 months.

so far i love this can!! Very nice!!

De momento es perfecto, veremos la durabilidad.
