Sensor issues
I should have taken more notice of the dimensions as this bin is too short for me. The sensor is on the front, which means when we pass by the lid is activated. No very happy spending so much on this product.

It's a bin, opens automatically, good size
It's a good sized sensor operated bin. Good size, does not look out of place in the kitchen. Lid opening is a bit clunky/noisy, but works every time.

Not good
Within a few hours the bin stopped responding

Not great
I purchased this 3 weeks ago and all of a sudden the lid doesnt close fully, there are no parts missing as it comes as 1 piece but this is so frustrating

Kitchen bin
Very happy with it..

Great novelty value
But you soon tire of it opening every time you go anywhere near it, and it eats batteries. Other than that - its exactly what we wanted...
MNR, 55 - 64, West Yorks
Great idea, not so great product
I bought this bin 6 weeks ago. Initially working great but the automatic opening has broken now, have checked the batteries so possibly a design flaw. We have a busy family house so could be from overuse, but would expect a bin to last longer than this. Wouldn't recommend

Hi PhilB,
The sensor on the Tower 42 Litre Sensor Bin - Black does both: it opens the lid when you wave your hand over the sensor and closes it automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hi there
You can use the Tower 42 Litre Sensor Bin - Black, without the sensor - if you wanted to do this you can remove the battery.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hello Abby,
The supplier has advised the following for the Tower 42 Litre Sensor Bin - Black:
"I can confirm that this bin is sensitive to any movement meaning if a dog was to walk in front the sensor lid would open."
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Bugsy,
The supplier has advised the following on the Tower 42 Litre Sensor Bin - Black:
“ I can confirm the battery compartment is located on underneath of the lid. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
There is a lip on the bin that rips all the bags as you take them out, worst bin Ive ever had
Of course there is a part of inner edge rolled to the inside of bin that will catch and tear bin bags.Poor design.
Thats why I am getting rid of this bin asap.
Hello Dot,
I have spoken to our supplier who have advised as follows:
There should not be a part on the Tower 42 Litre Sensor Bin lid that catches the bin bags as they are taken out. The bin comes with a retainer ring to hold the bin bags in place.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi there,
Yes, this does have a ring inside to hold the liner in place.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Jaks
Having checked with the supplier for you I can let you know this does not have a removeable inner bin
Thanks for using Q & A
You can just lift the lid up yourself. It stays open if you do that as well.
Hi Hey,
You can use the bin without the sensor - if you wanted to do this you can remove the battery.
Thank you for using Q&A.
