Sensory bins

Modern technologies are developing rapidly, and things appear in our life that we could not have thought of a couple of years ago. Robot vacuum cleaners, "smart" refrigerators and other high-tech assistants are already firmly entrenched in our lives. As for the "smart" waste bins, they are significantly different from their simple predecessors and can greatly simplify our lives.

The touch-sensitive kitchen bucket can be a great substitute for pedal-operated buckets. The automatic bucket will last a long time without requiring much maintenance. The model with an opening sensor does not get dirty so quickly, since you do not touch it with your hands, which happens with ordinary buckets. The option with an opening lid is especially good for a family with a child, as you will not come into contact with the surface of the bucket, where germs may be.

Basically, these models run on batteries that will need to be replaced periodically. However, you can find a model that runs on AC or battery power. It is also important to monitor the state of the sensor, on which the operation of the entire structure depends. If the sensor becomes dirty, its functionality will be reduced, and as a result, this can lead to damage to the product.

Such buckets have several modes of operation, the main ones of which are:

• rest mode - the bucket just stands with the lid closed;
• operating mode - the container opens for a short period of time;
• long-term use mode - this mode is necessary when doing something over the bucket, for example, peeling potatoes.

Many people wonder whether it is worth purchasing electronic buckets. These models have the following advantages.

• Easy to use.
• Original designthat will complement the interior of any modern kitchen.
• Variety of shapes and sizes... The ability to choose a model for the size of kitchen furniture.
• Ease of care... Throwing away the trash regularly is enough. The containers themselves are usually made of metal, which minimizes the possibility of contamination on the outside.
• Significant service life without loss of original properties.
• Perfectly complements the "smart home" system both from the aesthetic and from the practical point of view.

The main disadvantages of smart bins are:

• high price;
• possible breakdowns.

In order to choose the right garbage bin, you should take into account some of the nuances. The main ones are presented below.

• Volume. Depending on your needs, you can choose an automatic bucket of any size. The most popular are medium-sized models - 50 liters.
• Colour... The market offers a wide variety of colors, helping you to choose not only a trash can, but also an organic addition to your interior. The model can have a traditional calm colors, or it can be bright and unusual. Also popular are products made in contrasting shades, for example, metallic color combined with a black or bright orange lid.
• Material. The choice of material should be taken seriously, since the service life of the model depends on it. Also, the material directly affects the weight of the product. There are both plastic and metal options. The latter are more durable and have a longer service life.
• Price policy. The cost of smart buckets is usually quite high. This is due to the use of new technologies that have not previously been used in this area. Prices start at about 3 thousand rubles and can exceed 40 thousand rubles.
• Location of the touch sensor. This point is important, because if the sensor is incorrectly positioned, it can mistakenly respond to surrounding objects.
• Waste bag attachment method. Sometimes manufacturers reduce the cost of models, as a result of which the garbage bag can stick out of the container. Or, for example, many people install a special hoop for fastening, which can burst at any time.
• Height. It is better to choose a model with the touch sensor which is located at arm's length - this way you do not have to bend over. Moreover, such models have a larger volume.
