Morphy Richards Chroma 971519 Square Kitchen Bin with Infrared Motion Sensor Technology, 50 Litre Capacity, Stainless Steel

Product Information

You’re covered with a 2-year warranty, which isn’t as generous as the five years Tower gives but does give peace of mind should any faults occur during the first couple of years of ownership. Accentuate your personal style and add some pizzazz to your household waste storage with this Morphy Richards Chroma Square Sensor Bin. This is a 50L capacity rectangular sensor bin available in stylish colours to suit your kitchen decor. There’s a choice of capacities too, 30L, 42L and 50L. We’ll focus this review on the 50L model. Perfect for when you need both hands free, like when you’re dealing with messy leftovers or unyielding chopping boards, this bin opens automatically when it senses your hand. If you’ve had it with traditional pedal bins and want technology to be of service in your home, you’re in the right place to find out an automatic bin for you. All of the bins we review are intended for household waste only.

The sensors will also keep the lid closed when there’s no one around, so you don’t have to worry about pesky bugs or animals getting into your bin. We couldn’t find any details about a guarantee with this bin which is a shame as that does help buyer confidence. However, this bin is one of the most affordable we’ve reviewed, so if you want to take a chance and save, it’s an option. The sensor bins we review have a variety of colours and material finishes suiting all tastes and needs. Some are fingerprint-resistant, which if you have young children may be something to consider. All bins require batteries and we will, where possible, indicate which battery type and the quantity required to power each bin. The steel body is particularly durable, and NETTA claims it is made from commercial-grade stainless steel. It certainly feels stronger than other bins we’ve reviewed.

Morphy Richards Sensor Bins

The sensor bin features a brushed stainless-steel body with an automatic opening lid. It will look good in any environment, be it a kitchen, bathroom, office, or any other area where a hands-free, hygienic bin is needed.

Finally, this bin comes with a generous 5-year guarantee so that you can be confident that should anything fail in those first five years; you’ll be covered. Details of how to claim in the event of a failure can be found in the box. NETTA is a brand we’ve not come across before, so we were quite interested in what they had to offer with this sensor bin.There are a couple of size options available, 50L and 60L, but given the price difference, we recommend you go for the 60L if space permits. The Swan logo is prominently featured on the front of this bin which may deter some buyers; however, it’s only a small niggle for a very retro-looking bin. An automatic sensor bin is designed to make your life easier. The sensors in the bin will automatically lift the lid for you, so you can just drop your rubbish in and be on your way. So if you’re looking for a hygienic solution for waste disposal in your home or office environment, take a look at the sensor bin features below to find one that suits your needs.

After five seconds of inactivity the lid will close automatically, meaning this bin also ensures that you never again have to touch it – keeping your hands clean and hygienic. As with any motion sensor bin, batteries are needed to power it, and this Tower model requires 4 x ‘AA’ batteries. We recommend Duracell batteries as these always perform well in our tests. Using infrared technology which senses your hand from around 15cm away, this bin will add a little glamour to your kitchen!The body of the bin is a robust steel finish which won’t easily dent. As you approach 40cm of the bin, the infrared sensor will detect movement and raise the bin lid, ready to accept your disposal items. The lid will close again after 5 seconds of inactivity. Hygienically dispose of kitchen waste with the Morphy Richards Square Sensor Bin 42 Litre, which features battery operated, hands-free motion sensor technology which opens the lid automatically. We’ll be featuring brands such as Tower, VonHaus, Morphy Richards, Dihl , Brabantia and Swan, taking a deep look into what each sensor bin has to offer. We’ll cater for all budgets too, from low budget right up to the premium end of the market.
