Swan Retro 45L Square Sensor Bin (Black)

Fabulous bin! Looks stylish and fashionably retro, but with a modern twist. The sensor for the hands free open lid function is genius, and has made my life so much easier in the kitchen. The inner bin liner area is designed so it tucks the top of the sack inside the bin, so looks very neat. No untidy plastic showing. Incredibly well made and very stylish for a bin, I love it!

Very pleased. A decent looking bin to add to the kitchen. Must remember (form the habit) to not move by too closely or it will open. Closes as it should Delivery a little quicker than stated

Great product seller need to change size Sizing on write up is totally wrong! I took it as inches lol Correct size is Item size: H67.5 x W33 x D25cm

I had another Swan bin exactly like this one but in green. The lid opened much wider. On this one the lid only opens a little crack. Not good, given the cost!!! UPDATE! - The bin is now working perfectly. Swan customer relations team were very helpful and told me I just needed to take the batteries out for a few hours, then replace, and it the sensor would work. And it worked! I love the bin :)

I bought this a few years ago and didn’t get round to writing a review. Like you, I imagine, I wanted a stylish bin for my kitchen as it’s an essential item that is always on show. I did think this was a lot of money to pay for a bin, but I liked how it looked and thought it would be a good investment. It went to the tip some time ago. I had no issues with it for the first 6 months. No problems with the sensor; it wasn’t over-sensitive and it didn’t go off it someone happened to walk past. It went off as it should and the lid opened easily. But then it stopped working and the sensor didn’t activate at all. Changing the batteries didn’t fix it, and so I continued to use it as a manual bin by opening the lid by hand. I was disappointed but could live with it. Some time after that, the lid wouldn’t open at all. It was stuck in the closed position. I kept using the bin, but had take off the top section to put something in it, and then attach the lid again. This is a two hand job due to the weight of the motor. I had been googling like a demon during this time to try to fix the issue, and I discovered lots of others had the same problem. Please do not buy this bin. There’s s strong chance it will stop working after its initial honeymoon period. I don’t want you to waste your money and suffer the same frustrations that I did. This is an expensive item and I’d encourage you to explore other options or stick to a handsome manual bin.

Great quality good value mint condition smooth edges wellmade

Great bin and lovely colour. The sensor works really well.

Expensive but very cool touch free bin

Genial wie beschrieben gute Qualität

Ottimo prodotto, consistenza e qualità all'altezza, prezzo adeguato. Molto bello esteticamente.

I love this sensor bin, so much so I bought another 2 as Christmas gifts for the family

Es ist schon nett, den Mülleimer nicht mehr mit den (schmutzigen) Händen zu öffnen, berührungslos kann schon praktisch sein. Alles in allem ein nettes Accessoire

Le capteur ne fonctionne pas du tout. (J'ai bien mis des piles neuves, dans le bon sens et mis l'interrupteur sur On). Je la garde car j'aime le design et la forme correspond à mon espace. De toute façon j'ai vu sur la notice qu'en mode automatique il y a une lumière clignotante en permanence et je n'ai pas envie d'avoir ça dans ma pièce. Il y a un anneau de retenue pour sac poubelle mais pas de bac intérieur. C'est assez léger donc facile à déplacer/vider dans un grand conteneur. (Je l'utilise pour papiers/cartons).
