Looking after it

The body pulls apart into two sections for cleaning. Wipe the sensor housing with a dry cloth rather than a wet one, and do not submerge the lid unit: IPX5 covers splashing and humidity, not immersion.

About this product

A bathroom bin you never have to touch.

12 litres in a slim body, an infrared sensor on the lid, and an IPX5 rating so the damp does not kill the electronics.

A bathroom is the one room where touching a bin lid is most worth avoiding, and the one room where sensor bins usually fail, because the humidity gets into the electronics.

This one is rated IPX5, which covers splashing and steam rather than a dry kitchen corner.

Twelve litres in a slim body, so it fits the narrow gap between a toilet and a wall instead of standing out into the room.

The lid opens on approach and closes quietly on a damped hinge, and there is a retainer ring inside that stops a full bag dropping through.

It pulls apart into two sections, which is the part that matters after six months.

Most sensor bins are designed for a kitchen. Put one in a bathroom and the thing that fails is not the motor, it is the sensor: constant humidity gets into the housing, the bin starts opening at nothing, and the battery is flat inside a fortnight.

The IPX5 rating is the reason this one is sold for a bathroom. IPX5 means the housing is protected against water jets from any direction, which in practice covers the steam off a shower and a splash from a basin. It does not mean you can put it in one.

The capacity is twelve litres, which is a normal bathroom bin, but the body is deliberately narrow. Most bathroom bins are round and squat, and the space actually available is the tall thin gap between the toilet and the wall. This is shaped for that gap.

The lid runs on a damped hinge, so it closes quietly rather than snapping shut, and it seals when closed. That last part is the difference between a bathroom bin you notice and one you do not.

Inside there is a retainer ring that grips the rim of the bag. It is a small thing that solves the specific irritation of a bag sliding down into the bin as it fills, and then having to be fished back out.

The body separates into two sections. Every bin needs cleaning properly eventually, and the ones that cannot come apart are the ones that get replaced instead.

Still deciding?

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is it?

Twelve litres, in a slim body rather than a round one.

Why does the shape matter?

Because the space actually free in most bathrooms is the tall narrow gap beside the toilet, not a round footprint out in the room.

How does the lid open?

An infrared sensor detects your hand or your approach and opens it. You do not touch it.

Does it slam shut?

No, the hinge is damped so it closes quietly.

What does IPX5 mean?

The housing is protected against water jets from any direction. In a bathroom that covers steam and splashing.

Can I put it in the shower?

No. IPX5 is splashing and humidity, not immersion.

Why does the water rating matter for a bin?

Because the usual way a sensor bin dies in a bathroom is moisture reaching the sensor, after which it opens at nothing and flattens the battery.

Does it keep smells in?

The lid seals when closed, which is what holds odour in.

What is the retainer ring?

A ring inside the rim that grips the bag, so a filling bag does not slide down into the bin.

Does it come apart for cleaning?

Yes, into two sections.

What batteries does it take?

The supplier does not state the battery type, so we have not printed one. We would rather say we do not know.

What are the exact dimensions?

Not published by the supplier. We have not estimated them.

Will it fit standard bin bags?

A twelve litre bag is a common size, and the retainer ring takes the rim.

Can I use it in a kitchen?

Yes. It is specified for a bathroom because of the water rating, but nothing stops it being used elsewhere.

Is it noisy?

The motor is audible when the lid moves. The close is damped rather than sprung.

Does it need to be plugged in?

No, it runs on batteries.

How long do the batteries last?

The supplier does not quote a figure and we have not invented one. The water rating exists to stop the main cause of premature drain.

Can I open it by hand if the battery dies?

Yes, the lid can be lifted.

What colour is it?

The supplier does not state a colour option on this listing.

Is the body metal?

Plastic.

Does it come with bags?

No.

How do I clean the sensor?

A dry cloth. Do not spray cleaner at it.

Can I put it next to a bath?

Yes, that is the sort of position the water rating is for.

Does it turn off?

The sensor stays live while the batteries are in.

Will it open when someone walks past?

It is triggered by proximity to the sensor rather than movement across the room.

Is it suitable for nappies?

It is a general bathroom bin with a sealing lid. It is not sold as a nappy pail.

How does it compare to a pedal bin?

A pedal bin needs a foot and a free hand for the bag. This needs neither, and it is sealed rather than open at the hinge.

Is there a warranty?

No separate product guarantee is offered on this item. Your rights under the Irish Consumer Rights Act 2022 apply in full.

Can I return it?

Yes, the 14 day right to cancel under Irish and EU consumer law applies in full.

How much is delivery?

Free across Ireland on orders over €60, otherwise €25.

Buying Guide

6 min read Bidet Co Ireland

A bathroom is the room where touching a bin lid is most worth avoiding. It is also the room where sensor bins usually fail, and the reason is always the same: the humidity gets into the sensor housing, the lid starts opening at nothing, and the battery is flat within a fortnight.

Why the water rating is the specification that matters

This bin is rated IPX5, which means the housing is protected against water jets from any direction. In a bathroom that covers the steam off a shower and a splash from the basin, which is exactly what kills a kitchen bin moved into a bathroom.

It does not mean the bin can be immersed. IPX5 is splashing, not submersion.

The shape

Twelve litres is an ordinary bathroom bin capacity. The body is deliberately slim rather than round, because the space actually free in most bathrooms is the tall narrow gap between the toilet and the wall, not a circular footprint out in the middle of the floor.

The lid

An infrared sensor opens it on approach. The hinge is damped, so it closes quietly rather than snapping, and it seals when shut, which is the difference between a bathroom bin you notice and one you do not.

The small things

Inside the rim there is a retainer ring that grips the bag, so a filling bag does not slide down into the bin and need fishing back out.

The body separates into two sections. Every bin needs a proper clean eventually, and the ones that cannot come apart are the ones that get thrown away instead.

What we have not printed

The supplier does not state the battery type or the external dimensions. We have left both blank rather than estimating them.
