We were enticed by the hygiene aspect of not having to touch the bin to dispose of kitchen waste, but it is a sleek and well designed product that deserves to be more prominent than being shoved into a dark corner of the room.  The sensor is quite sensitive and can shoot open at the merest hover of a hand in the vicinity of the lid, but you get used to this and its responsiveness is an advantage when approaching with rubbish! I never knew I could be so effusive about a bin; but the novelty hasn't worn off yet and it looks really neat. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
