Why You Need A Intelligent Sensor Trash Can?

Do you need an automatic trash can for a small space, like your bedroom or bathroom?

If you have the kitchen covered, start to look for a smaller automatic trash can to fit underneath your desk or beside the bathroom sink. Chances are you’re not shooting for a 13-gallon vertical can to stick next to your toilet, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t benefit from the same mess-free perks that the best motion sensor trash can provides. Smaller trash cans that are lower to the ground can be hard to get to, even if there is a foot pedal at the base. A motion sensor makes things a little easier to dispose of and also keeps you from needing to get too close. 

Are you looking to eliminate odors and unpleasant smells?

No one enjoys the scent of garbage wafting through their home. It’s unpleasant and uncomfortable, especially if you have guests over. Not only is getting rid of smells good for people but eliminating odor is always a great tactic for keeping pets and pests uninterested in the contents of your trash can. If you’ve already done everything you can to make your trash less smelly, we recommend an option that’s designed with deodorizing in mind. Fortunately, a motion sensor trash can, by design, is excellent at trapping terrible odors. Other hands-free, touchless trash can models will rely on a foot pedal to flip open the lid. This often results in a sudden drop when the lid closes and a whoosh of smelly air forcefully being exerted into the room. Motion-sensor trash can lids are typically timed and gently close, which helps keep any unfortunate odors contained to the can itself. 

Here are a few tips and tricks that we suggest a lot when troubleshooting issues with the bins.

• There is often a clear film over the buttons and sensor section of the bin, this needs to be removed for correct function of the infrared LED and sensor. If this is still present your bin will likely be less responsive to anyone trying to open it.
• Cheap batteries can sometimes be such poor quality that they are unable to power the mechanism so always make sure that the batteries you buy are decent quality and from a reputable retailer.
• There is a main isolater switch on the back of the bin lid, if this is off the bin will not work (sounds simple I know but you would be suprised how many customers miss it) – so make sure it’s switched on!
• Give it a couple of seconds when you turn it on, it can take up to 10 seconds to initialise correctly. Once working correctly it should flash every 7-10 seconds.
• As I explained before with the sensors, you need to use slow assured movements to activate the lid, if you are moving too fast the IR rays wont activate the switch.
