Product Information

Full details

This HOMCOM 50L Sensor Bin in Black is ideal for busy households seeking a hygienic and convenient way to manage kitchen waste. Its automatic touchless opening is a significant benefit, especially when hands are full or dirty. A potential consideration is the need for AA batteries, which are not included, and the fixed closing time of the lid.

FAQs

How do I activate the sensor?

Simply wave your hand within approximately 15 cm of the sensor located on the front of the lid. The lid will then open automatically.

What size bin liner should I use?

This bin is designed for a 50-liter bin liner. Ensure it fits snugly inside and the excess material can be folded over the rim.

How long do the batteries last?

The sensor mechanism can operate for up to six months on four AA batteries, depending on the frequency of use.

Does the lid stay open, or does it close automatically?

The lid automatically closes approximately 5 seconds after the sensor no longer detects motion.

Is assembly required?

No, the bin requires no assembly. You only need to insert the batteries and add a bin liner.

What material is the bin made from?

The bin is constructed from a powder-coated metal shell with ABS plastic components for the lid and sensor mechanism.

What is the warranty period?

The HOMCOM 50L Sensor Bin comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not opening the lid

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Check that your hand is within the 15 cm detection range and that the sensor lens is clean. Remove any obstructions near the sensor.

Lid not closing automatically

Verify that the batteries are installed correctly. If the issue persists, the sensor mechanism may require attention. Clean the sensor area.

Bin is difficult to clean

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for exterior cleaning. For the interior, a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Fingerprint marks are still visible

While fingerprint-resistant, the finish may require wiping down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove marks, especially in humid conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Hygienic touchless operation reduces contact with germs.
  • Large 50L capacity is suitable for families and frequent use.
  • Fingerprint-resistant finish keeps the bin looking neat.
  • Durable powder-coated metal construction ensures longevity.
  • Efficient design maximizes internal space.

Cons

  • Requires 4 AA batteries (not included) for sensor operation.
  • Lid closes automatically after a fixed 5-second interval.
  • Fixed dimensions may not fit all specific spaces.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain the fingerprint-resistant finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This bin requires no assembly. To begin using the sensor function, insert four AA batteries (not included) into the compartment located under the lid. Ensure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity. Place a suitable 50L bin liner inside the main compartment, folding the edges over the rim.

Compatibility: The bin is designed for standard 50L bin liners. It is suitable for use in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, or offices.

Care: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the powder-coated finish. The interior can be wiped clean with a mild detergent and water. Ensure the bin is completely dry before re-inserting a liner or replacing batteries.
