Electus Rubbish Bin Intelligent Sensor Stainless Steel with DC Inputs

No replies – The lid stopped working. I have been emailing few times, provided pictures and I fo of fault but no replies from anyone. I have also bought 2 kogan smart watches now and they don't work, apps keep freezing and won't proceed.

Best bin ever – After 18 months of use hinge did break, but fixed with a glue designed for plastics and hasn't missed a beat, if I can get another 18 months I will be very happy. BTW I haven't had to change the batteries yet!!

good idea but bad quality. design to be redone – second time the plastic hinge breaks down. after hinge is broken impossible to fix. I spent hours on it unsuccessfully. don't buy unless new models come to market with metal hinges.

Already broken – It was good but It doesn't matter how good something is if it last only 8 months. Cheap material. Hinge broke apart so the whole thing stopped working. I paid $100 on CrazySales, it lasted 8 months. Do the math...$12.50 a month to rent a bin is way too much! And what annoys me more than that is the fact that this is the 2nd time I put a negative review up on Crazysales and they never see the light. Only the positive ones.

Excellent Bin – This is our 4th and best Auto Bin. We use it a lot and have had it over 2 years. It has never missed a beat. Some of the other bins triggered if you were within a couple of meters and were a nuisance. Others struggled to open their lid. This one opens quickly and rarely opens when not wanted. Battery life is excellent, but I now use… Read more

rechargeable ones, so in the end the cost is negligible. Can be hard to get bag out because of suction. I drilled a hole at the bottom of the back of the bin, and that solved most of that problem. If it ever breaks down, I will immediately get another.

Bad – I really love this bin, or should i say "loved" since it went into the big bin! It's a fantastic concept, and i love it - and i don't care how cheap and nasty the bin is, but at least they could get smart and make it with a stronger metal of come sort hinge!!! they are small but the only reason they break down! So, they can make the whole thing… Read more

in plastic, but if only they made the hinges stronger - and because of this, i won't buy another one until they improve them. SUCH a simple thing that ruins the whole thing!!! Check the hinges - if they are plastic - don't waste your time - it WILL break down! they can't be replaced cos they're attached to the unit! Fantastic system cheap plastic hinges that break too easily

Excellent – We love this new 42L S/S sensor bn as it not only looks fantastic, it actually does what it is meant to do. There are no messy food/finger marks on the bin anymore and you can have your hands full and just up pops the lid...wow...greatest idea ever! I have heard the the clips on lid have been a problem in the past but apparantly this is the new… Read more

(re-vised) edition so hopefully ours will be all good. It takes 4 x 'D' size batteries which cost $16-18 dollars so i hope they last us well...so far so good! It looks fantastic! It's huge! No more touching the lid! can be a little sensitive when walking passed it and lid will open an scare the jeepers out of ya!

OK – As this is a bin it is quite expensive. Depends if you are really concerned with the hygeine. We used to just have a nice looking stainless steel been with a foot petal. My hubby bought this as he thought that the sensor was pretty cool. We've only had it for 2 months and so far we have not had any problems with it. It is a pretty good sized… Read more

bin for our needs. Its a nice looking bin. Couldn't really think of anything. On the expensive side considering that it is just a bin. Depends how much you like gadgets

Bad – These do not come cheap and I think they are just a waste of money. I mean, a bin is a bin.. why do you need it to be a "smart" bin? A good stainless steel bin with a foot pedal you can step on and open the bin is good enough since it works the same way. You won't have to touch the bin with your hands to open it. And those will definitely save… Read more

more of your penny! Very innovative and creative. Good that the person would not be touching the bin for hygienic reasons. Will be prone to malfunctions and break downs.

Excellent – I would recommend it for every kitchen. Once you get your personal style for opening, it's a breeze. Couldn't be without it. I love that I can have my hands full and I can still open the bin. So hygienic and practical. Visiting children are fascinated and stand at the bin for ages opening and closing. (That could also be a pro). You do need the room for it though.

Bad – You need to have a space for bin where you will not make the bin constantly open as you walk past within 45cm and the lid is a bit of a cheaply made novelty item. Replacement parts availability would make this a much better product. Not recommended for families kids. Childless household might get more life from the product. Very easy to open when… Read more

operating properly. Don't sell replacement parts so when lid fails (ours...twice in a little over a year...we had one sensor stopped working and one with broken hinge) you have to buy whole new bin. I refuse to buy a third complete bin for my kitchen!
