Morphy Richards Sensor Bin
Maintain optimum hygiene at all times with the sensor activated stainless steel lid that automatically opens and closes when a hand is detected.

If you prefer manual operation, there’s a switch in the lid that turns off the sensor. The bin is constructed from quality stainless steel and features a non-corrosive coating, providing long-lasting durability. A retainer ring on the rim keeps your bin liner securely in place and avoids it dropping as a result of large quantities of waste.

- Steel body with non-corrosive colour coating
- Lid opens automatically when approached
- Lid closes after 5 seconds of inactivity
- Retainer ring allows easy replacement of bin liners

A smart looking accessory for the kitche
This is the second one of these I’ve bought to make up the twin set for recyclable and non recyclable waste. Fortunately I was able to get the second one in a sale, so paid no more than the first one from 2 years ago. Having paid only about 50, I wasn’t sure how long the motion sensor would last but it has proved to be reliable. It is well designed with a plastic retaining ring for the waste bag, which means the bag doesn’t have to be seen unlike the expensive Brabantia it replaced. I like the way the lid remains open if you’re still close to the sensor and emptying waste into the bin. The steel used to make the bin itself is rather flimsy so if you cram the bin to full you could dent it. As long as you don’t abuse it, it’s fine and besides what can you expect for only 50. You could buy a Brabantia instead but it would probably cost you almost twice the money.
Good looking easy to use
Good looking easy to use and clean, it does open if you walk past it too close though. I bought the 50l for my recycling too

Love my new sensor bin. Bought it to replace a similar one that had eventually died after a number of years. Looks good, sensor works well and is responsive. Easy to empty. What’s not to like.

Overall good automatic bi
Very good bin but the location of the sensor is in front of the bin instead of on top, as on other models. Sometimes extra effort is needed for the sensor to operate. Also, the manual switch on/off button is located below the top part of the bin instead of outside the top part, like on other models. So you have to basically remove the lid or put your hands in the bin for manual operation (to stay open for some extra time).
Besides the above, this is a perfect bin. I had the old model and got this one as well. It does not disappoint! The picture was taken almost a year after buying it and it still works and looks fine!
Decent bin but can be annoying
Looks great but the auto open can be a bit annoying as it tends to close on you if you are trying to do anything more than just immediately drop something i

Shiney black and chrome sensor bi
Brilliant bin, very neat, shiney black and chrome, takes AA batteries to work the sensor, came with a few lemon scented bags which fit perfectly .
Expensive but worth i
Great little bin, expensive for a bin but worth the money as looks nice and sleek in my kitchen.

Easy to use
Does exactly what it says in the title. Good sized bin, sensor works well, only downside is it automatically closes after about five seconds – a bit annoying if you’re scraping a plate and it’s a bit fiddly. It isn’t a heavy lid so at most it taps your hand gently as it closes and it stops if there’s any resistance but I’d expected to need to wave over the sensor again to close the lid, or get a bit longer before it automatically closed. Not the end of the world and doesn’t affect its use negatively at all.
Some questions were asked about opening it without the sensor working – there’s a little lip in the lid so it’s easy to pull up manually.

Someone’s ruler is off.
Great product. Very pleased with the look, it’s sleek and professional looking and works great. In the instructions it says you have to have your hand a certain distance from the sensor well I found this distance to be made up as I had to have my hand a lot closer, around about and inch away It’s no issue for me, stops accidentally opening as you walk past but If it’s an inch say an inch not something else.
Good item
Good item, works well, packaged well to stop any damage.
Lovely looking bi
This is expensive for a bin, however I feel is worth it, as the bin is actually metal (unlike many of the same price which are plastic made to look like metal). The sensor opening is great (although can be a bit annoying if the bin is placed too close to a walk way as the bin will open when you walk past. The capacity is good, the free bin bags included are.a nice bonus and smell lovely. Fast delivery.

Good bi
I like the no hands approach. So much easier and germ free when working in the kitchen. Holds loads but not easy to remove bags if they are too full. Disappointed in the battery life though – after a while the lid didn’t close fully and only putting in new batteries fixed it. Overall very pleased after 6 or 8 weeks of use.
Sensitive Senso
Great bin. I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the lid. The sensor is so sensitive it activates every time you walk past the bloody thing. Then, when your want to scrape the remains of the children’s dinner into the bin, it gives you about a nano second to do it! Well, 7 seconds, but either way it’s not enough time. Apart from that, it’s probably the best bin I’ve ever owned.
Censor bins with a difference
Very nice buy yourself strong 60/70 litres big bin bags normal cordless bags are great strong bin bags
Good bin.

Super Tonne
Hlt was sie verspricht.
Der Sensor reagiert erst wenn man die Hand nahezu genau vor dem Gert hat. Je nach Aufstellort (bei uns im Durchgang) kann das aber auch von Vorteil sein!
Wrde ich wieder kaufen.
Brilliant bin for money.
We wanted a bigger bin. So my partner choose this one of course because the no touch. And it brilliant so pleased we got this one.
Modern and easy to use.
Very modern, easy to setup and use and I loved
The finishing touch of the free scented bin liners. Good brand and would recommend for anyone updating their kitchen. Sturdy and strong quality.

It’s a bin.
Quick delivery, easy to use. Just put hand in front of bin and it opens.
Ideal bin size and no need to touch it!
I wasn’t sure that I wanted a no-touch bin but having had the pleasure of this bin in the kitchen for a few weeks now – I simply ordered another similar for the scullery area. To be fair, It can be a little over-enthusiastic and open up just because I am nearby but I find this rather endearing. I love the matt black colour too.

Sleek product, love the sensor, no more bin lid smashing against the wall as it pings open! Pricey, but will preserve the wall so in our opinion it’s quids in.

Second purchase
Second purchase of this bin. Ordered this one for my sister. We both happy with the bin. Don’t over fill or difficult to remove the liner.
Easy and does the job
This is an easy to use, easy to clean bin . The batteries take a bit of fiddling with to place correctly, but once that’s done, it works every time!
Good gadge
Love this bin. Sensor can be a little hit and miss but opens 8 times out of 10
Happy with the produc
We are happy with the product, sometimes to open the sensor bin it’s a bit delay overall no problem at all
Looks great and you will get bun envy
Lovely looking bin, glossy black and looks really nice in the kitchen. The only thing I would say is the lid feels like it might break if it got a knock, made with cheap plastic

Very good bin for the offer price
Purchased this Morphy Richards whilst it was in the Amazon ‘Black Friday’ offers, so paid just a little under 50 (from a supposed full price of nearer 150).
In all honesty, I don’t know why reviewers have given this negative comments. For one, it DOESN’T open when you simply walk past – you have to ‘pause’ your hand (or an object) in front of the sensor for the bin lid to open, you get a few seconds to drop whatever rubbish you need to into it, then the lid closes (quietly).
Another complaint from more than one reviewer is the battery compartment cover and batteries falling into the rubbish. HOW?! There is a very positive ‘click’ of the cover when you put it on, so unless you then drop the lid down onto the bin from a height of perhaps 50ft., that cover isn’t going to just drop off!
The first one of these arrived damaged (despite being in a double-walled box), but Amazon replaced it and had delivered the new one within 48 hours, so no faults there.
All in all a very good quality product, but not worth the RRP that was advertised. We paid close on 50 for a non-sensor bin a few years ago, but the foot pedal opener had broken, hence this purchase. Very pleased!
No inner line
Lid and plastic rim to keep bag in place do not appear very sturdy. Difficult to keep the lid from automatically closing when scraping items into the bin.
Love it!
Absolutely love my bin, it does close on you sometimes but that’s only cause the battery power is getting low but other than that I think it’s a great bin.

Ok
Batteries don’t last all that long and lid tends to close on you as you are scraping food in! Thought it would have been better for the price!
Perfec
Great kitchen bin. The auto opening makes it lots easier when your hands are full.

Love it.
No need to continually wash hands!
Though you walk past it and it opens! Haha!
Nice style
Nice style a bit spoilt by the fact the lid does not hide the top of the liner bags, sort of lets down the sophistication.
Update: now I realise that the top of liner bags can be hidden by inserting under the plastic rim and folding the top of the bag inwards over the separate plastic rim. My only criticism now is the lid could stay open longer, not enough time to empty dust from my bagless hover before it tries to shut.

A little too sensitive but other than that its perfec

A bin worth having
It’s good though I wish it had handles to carry when needed
If you want a new bin - BUY THIS ONE!
Incredible bin. Holds so much and doesn’t take up much space. The hand sensor is really sensitive and works so well and stays open a little while so can easily use it without the lids dropping down. The plastic inside which holds the bin bag is actually fantastic. So simple but effective!

Won't last for years but good price
Lasted about 1 half years then kid broke would not open or close
Absolutely Fantastic!
I love this bin as it’s so easy and clean to use. It’s like having your own personal robot….the lid closes for you, you don’t have to touch a thing, which reduces cleaning! It also looks very smart and holds a lot. I don’t normally write reviews, even with an incentive, but just had to about this one as it’s amazing! Don’t know how I did without it before!!

Hey presto ope
I love waving my hand over this bin and hey presto it opens, have had it for ages and still on original battery, very easy to fit bag in, like to keep it looking shinny with a bit of polish, looks great in the kitchen, grand children love helping me clear up so that they can wave their hands over the bin and open i
A lovely looking good/heavy quality bin – 4 stars because the plastic lid is quite flimsy. Having said that, I don’t think that this will be an issue…because you don’t touch it! I have read the other reviews and can confirm that:
1. The plastic battery cover did initially drop off when first installed – this was my fault, as I had not clicked it into place correctly. No problem now
2. You can fit the bin liner so that it is NOT seen – I use a large (definitely over 50L) black bin liner, as my old bin was slightly bigger
3. There is no ‘inner bin’, but this is not an issue, if you put the bin liner in correctly – see point 2 above
4. It does indeed open by itself…..but only when my bum is directly facing it. Walking past has not been an issue so far
5. You can register for a 5 year guarantee on line @ Morphy Richards. Note that there is no serial number required – only the product number, which is on the box. Keep your receipt though
6. As with all bins of this type – if you over fill it, it WILL be difficult to empty….I am trying to educate the rest of the family!
Good Value
Looked at all the reviews. and was a bit wary. But was really pleased with this product. As long as you switch it of at the back be for you take the lid off, the battery’s remain intact. as people seemed to be saying the battery cover kept falling off. But I don’t have any problems. what more could you ask for especially with a 5 year guarantee.

This bin takes a bit of getting used to. At first it seems like a robot has come to live in the kitchen and may be taking control. The lid comes up whenever you go near it, meaning you have to position it so that it’s not ‘going off’ all the time. And you definitely want to make sure its beady little crab eyes aren’t looking at you all the time. You also have to practice your ‘approach’ so you’re neither waiting for it to open or having your hand chopped off as it suddenly closes. It makes a rather disconcerting ratcheting noise both on the way up and on the way down. Having said all that, we have now evolved to live in harmony with the robot bin and think of it as a very helpful member of the family. The chrome lid is rather tacky, but no-one else in the family is perfect so I guess we shouldn’t expect Ro-bin to be either.
Better than expected - great produc
I have had this product for about a month now and it has proved to be even better than expected. It arrived promptly and with no issue, in a very well packaged parcel. Was easy and simple to assemble with clear instructions. It requires a few AA batteries but these are standard and easy to replace, when the time comes. Looks great and because of its shape, is extremely handy for narrow spaces. Replacing the bin bag is also very straightforward – just lift the lid, remove the bag holder and replace the bag. The bag holder ring is not that sturdy and will not hold heavy weights but so far it has worked fine for our normal bin liner. The opening mechanism works very well. It can be quite sensitive so will open if something is waved over it unintentionally. Therefore, locate the bin in an area where this would be less likely to happen. All in all, a great product at a very good price.

excellent product, thank you for your prompt action as I accidentally ordered 2 bins instead of one, the deliver was within 1 day from placing the order, superb price and this was a genuine saving and the fact that you can get a 5 year warranty if you register within 28 days from the date of purchase
I can only say one word – excellent – thank you Amazo
Love it!
Fast delivery. Love the bin – it was way better than the pedal variety that we had before, and so much less hassle in the kitchen.
Is surprisingly tardis like inside, though avoid pressing down the rubbish too much, otherwise getting the bag out is a bit of a pain.

Really happy with this purchase. It arrived very quickly and in perfect condition, not a mark on it. I’ve looked around including on the manufacturers website and the price difference is huge. It’s an absolute bargain compared to buying directly from Morphy Richards.

good bin – entertaining when opens when you walk past with nothing to feed it!
Will never go back to a standard bind again.
My old lady & old man loved this gift!
Just be careful not to have it on display if you hold functions full of stupid kids that are inclined to pull the mechanism of the lid.

arrived when stated, good bin although awkward to move no handles, works well

Looks good, matches our decor and with a wave of a hand the rubbish is in.
Originally I bought another brand for twice the amount, it didn’t even switch on! Returned it and bought this and am so pleased, looks fantastic and works perfectly. Highly recommend
