About this product
This black sensor bin keeps waste disposal hygienic and hands-free - just swipe your hand over the sensor and the lid opens automatically, so you never have to touch a thing. It's brilliant for busy kitchens where your hands are full or messy, and the 42l capacity means you won't be emptying it every five minutes. The lid closes by itself after 5 seconds, quietly and smoothly, so there's no slamming or fuss.
The steel body is easy to wipe clean and keeps looking smart, and the removable lid makes changing bags simple. There's a built-in bucket to keep everything tidy, and it runs on 4 AA batteries so you can place it anywhere without worrying about plugs. Tower backs it with a one-year guarantee, and you can extend that to 5 years if you register within 28 days. Practical, reliable and keeps your kitchen a bit more hygienic every day.

Customers Say
The Tower 42L sensor bin is praised for its size, sleek design, and hygienic hands-free operation. However, many find the front sensor overly sensitive, causing frequent unwanted lid openings and battery drain.

Very nice bin and really good value for money.
I have been using this bin for the last week. It had a slight wobble when it wouldn’t work but a quick ‘off and on’ job seems to have resolved the issue. Aside from that, I have zero complaints about the bin.

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
