Looks and performs brilliantly
Bought this to replace a plastic roll-top bin we had for over 15 years. An excellent replacement, you never have to touch it by hand to open it. Just wave your hand a few inches above the front sensor and the lid opens for 5 seconds before closing. A push button switch at the back of the unit turns it off for emptying purposes. The bag is easily changed using the black circular clip to hold it in place.
It uses 3 large D cell batteries, which should last quite a long time.
I have now had this sensor bin for 2 weeks and works well and consistently.
The only small fault, if you could even call it that, is that when scraping a plate of food into it, the lid closes prematurely ie. not allowing for the 5 seconds. This does however not happen every time. I find it simpler to push the open button on the right of the sensor. This keeps it open until you push the close button.
This really is a great quality product. I would rate the VanHaus sensor bin very highly.
