I recently purchased the Morphy Richards 42L sensor bin. I must say I'm extremely pleased with the purchase. It might sound like a bit of a fad or unnessary gadget. However, once you have the sensor bin you will realise this is not the case. It has a lovely smooth action It both open and closes automatically The main bonus of this is you do not have to touch the lid or bin at all. If you are cooking you don't want to be continually having to stop to wash your hands as you have touched a bin. This helps you focus on the tasks you are carrying out. Also it makes the messy business of recycling more efficient and easy as you don't have to put down a messy recycling bag to open the bin ie your hands are free to man handle whatever you are putting in the binThese might seem small benefits but in the stress and rush of modern life they are a great help. I highly recommend this product it simple but so effective [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
