Tower T838005W Sensor Bin with Retainer Ring, Battery-Operated, 50L, White

Product Information

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. 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. You can turn the bin opening to manual mode if you want to have the bin lid open for extended periods of time. This is controlled by a simple on/off button control on the lid. If you’re a fan of retro, then this is the bin to have in your household. Swan has made the smart choice of making this bin available in various retro colours, including blue, cream, green and even pink! You’re therefore spoilt for choice when it comes to colour selection. Some colours are more expensive than others, so be sure to factor that into your buying decision. This premium, high-quality bin with motion detection has twin compartments to assist with recycling. It has a large 75-litre capacity meaning you’ll be emptying it less often, and its recycling compartment will make separating recyclable items much easier.

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. 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. There’s an on/off switch so you can turn the unit into manual mode, allowing the bin lid to remain permanently open should you wish. 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.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. 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.

The bin is lightweight, durable and fingerprint-proof, handy if you have small children. The sensor built into the lid is delayed, preventing the lid from lifting unnecessarily when children or pets pass. 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. 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. Morphy Richards has provided a generous 5-year guarantee with this sensor bin, so you have peace of mind if a fault develops. There are four different colours available, Silver, Titanium, Ivory/Rose Gold and Silver/Rose Gold.The lid remains open for a few seconds of inactivity before closing automatically. The lid has been designed to form a close seal to help seal any bad odours. 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. Throwing away your trash is made easier and more hygienic when using a bin with an infrared automatic sensor. Simply approach and place your hand near the bin sensor and the lid will automatically open, and then close a few seconds after no activity.
