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.
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.
The short answer is yes, sensor trash cans are worth it. While the price bump can be prohibitive, we do believe that a motion sensor trash can has many benefits, convenience being only one. A hands-free trash can helps you keep away from bacteria and germs crawling around your garbage. They are also highly beneficial for those who experience issues or pain related to mobility. A hand- (and foot-) free model eliminates the need for physical strain on the joints.
