What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listed closed dimensions are 41 x 26 x 57 cm, while another dimensions field gives 41L x 26W x 69H centimetres and the listing identifies 69 cm as the open height. Treat 69 cm as the open-state height and check available clearance against the closed dimensions before buying. The colour field says “Sliver”, while the description calls it Silver/Black, so the exact finish and colour combination are unclear. The claimed sensor opening time and sensing distance are listing specifications, not independently verified.

Customer feedback highlights the bin's size, value and lid operation. One customer noted that its capacity could mean emptying only weekly, and another appreciated manual opening without batteries. Battery life receives mixed feedback. These comments may matter to buyers weighing capacity against the ongoing need for four C batteries for sensor use, but they do not establish battery performance. Aggregate ratings lean positive, though they do not explain individual experiences.
