I've only been using this bin for a few days and I already love how much easier it makes my life in the kitchen. You only have to hover your hand over the sensor and the lid lifts up automatically, and then closes again automatically after a few seconds. This is very useful when your hands are too full to open and close it yourself. 

The sensor is quite sensitive and sometimes opens when you don't want it too but there is a button on the lid to close it manually. Of course it is also a lot more hygienic that you can operate your bin without any touching necessary. It is a good size for most standard waste and recycling bags. I'd definitely recommend these bins to anyone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
