Although I found this product to be stylistically very pleasing, with its rounded square profile, I was frustrated by the other main feature - the sensor function.

A practical distance from which this would be activated would be, I suggest the 15-20 cm indicated in the instructions. However, even after considerable practice, we were unable to activate it from more than about 10cm and even then, with a very particular technique.I had fitted four brand new batteries, so that was not the issue.

Perhaps we just got a duff one, but life is too short so unfortunately the experience has sent us back to an 'old school' style of bin lid operation (much to our kids disgust!)
