With a motion sensor built into the bin lid, the infrared technology senses hand movement above the lid for automatic opening that makes disposing of waste hygienic. After a few seconds of inactivity, the bin lid will close automatically with a soft-closing function that causes minimal noise disruption. The power switch button enables you to operate the bin manually without the requirement for batteries. The durable PP body contains a 50 litre inner capacity and features a grey colour coating to take pride of place within the kitchen environment.
