4.0 out of 5 stars Gets annoying
It’s a good bin, the issue I’ve had is that 50l bags are to big and smaller bags are bit to small. The automatic bin lid is good to start with but sometimes it shuts to quickly if your scraping plates etc. Also the lid activates if you walk past it etc.
It’s ok
This missus chose this bin as she wanted one that the kids didn’t need to touch to open, which is great and this bin ticks all those boxes. My only issue is that the lid doesn’t stay open long enough and closes on whatever your scrapping food off of. Apart from this it’s a very good bin.
A Good Looking Bin!
If a bin can look stylish, then this is it. You get used to the automatic sensor, and it does make me smile when it’s being over sensitive some times. Overall really pleased.

Nice bin !
Nice bin smaller than I thought and bags that came with it way to tight to use !
Very low and quite small
I like the design, but the sensor is very low for anyone tall to use this bin. Also, we have had to replace batteries twice already, so will be fairly expensive to use long term.
Great well designed produc
Only issue is you need to get your timing right if scraping plates so the lid doesn’t close as you’re still putting stuffin the bin but I do love the product and the holding ring is a great design feature so the bin ban never slips back into the bi
WELL WORTH THE MONEY
Bought for a small kitchen. Nice and compact. Love the auto open function. Great Product!
Let it works properly
Plenty of space and nice looking really pleased with this item
Great bi
Bin is brilliant. Bin bags included did not fit the bin but the bin is very stylish.
Good produc
Good size bin for a small kitchen. However even when stood in front of the bin the bin lid can close (for example when scraping a plate of food) which can be quite frustrating. But holds in smells and looks nice.
I love it when things just work... I'm happy.
Amazing so far and has made putting stuff in the bin a pleasure.
If your hands are full of rubbish etc then you can wave a knee infront of the sensor and it opens.
I love things that just work and this does.
Stylish
My nephew loves this he stands by it laughing his head off when it opens and closes. Silly things abuse babies… Think I may buy him one for Christmas
4.0 out of 5 stars Good value but don't expect robustness.
Don’t know what”sheerness” is. 4 for sturdiness, as the metal is very thin and the bin bulges slightly out of shape at the seam. The bags are too small and have to be severely stretched to fit. The reason becomes clear when you see that the stretch-to-fit action pulls in the fragile seam bulge.
No handles
My only issue is there is nothing on the sides to lift it when moving to wash the floor.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bin smart looking - liners dont fi
I have given this bin 4/5 instead of 5 only because the complimentary bin liners that come with it do not fit the bin. Otherwise the bin seems to be ideal if just using plain black bags. Not sure why you would provide bin liners that dont fit though.
Great for hands free in kitche
Excellent especially when cleaning plates or preparing food. Scraps can be put in bin without touching the lid or bin. looks really smart. Sometimes opens when passing unexpectedly. Provided bin liners did not fit – too tight.
4.0 out of 5 stars smaller than i though
i previously had a taller bin which was similar in litre size so surprised this one was smaller in height. however it looks great. odd thing the bin came with 3 bin liners, but they to where to small to fit the bin. otherwise it does the job
It's a cool bi
I just love it, to be honest. Looks great, pretty robust. Automatic lid is cool.
But the bags that come with it are just not very sturdy (handles keep breaking).
Slower than previous bi
Bought to replace a 8 year old bin. Nice size, looks sleek. However the sensor is very slow to sense you, and the lid opening speed is even slower. The old bin was quicker and more responsive.

Optisch ein Hingucker!
Optisch ein Hingucker! Es ist wirklich schwer einen offen in der Kche stehenden Mlleimer zu finden. Dieser war ein Volltreffer. Da er nicht aus Kunststoff ist, sieht er hochwertig aus. Der Sensormechanismus funktioniert sehr gut. Das Fassungsvermgen ist ausreichend.
Looks grea
Absolutely nothing wrong with this bin and looks great in the kitchen, my only personal issue would be it’s too small for a family of 4
Hygienic and practical
This was a sensor bin. I bought one for myself and love it. No more touching bins. My daughter recently moved house so bought one for her also. She’s very impressed.
great purchase
great quailty, sizes and fit is perfect for what I needed.
Pleased with purchase
Good design, automatic open and close feature works well. It was nice to have the free sample of corresponding bin liners but these are no longer available to buy through the manufacturer, supermarket liners work fine. My only criticism would be it isn’t very tall, my fault perhaps for not measuring but could do with it being 5-10cm higher.
Fantastic
Love this bin, fantastic bit of kit, only down side you have to be literally on the sensor for it to open, however this may suit some customers.
Buon prodotto
Cestino di buona robustezza ed eleganza. Il meccanismo di apertura fa un po’ rumore ma funziona bene
Eady to use
Easy to use I love it, so easy to keep clean too
Comodo e funzionale
Molto comodo e funzionale per quanti riguarda i sacchetti un po difficili da trovare le misure
Quality item
I didnt realise how hard it would be to find a Black bin the right size to match my kitchen decor. This one is brilliant. Sensor opens lid, easy to clean. Perfect size. Quality item .
Gute Qualitä
Ich bin hoch zufrieden mit diesem Artikel. Funktion und Optik sehr schn
.
Brauche die Mülltüte
Gefllt mir sehr gut, aber ich htte gerne die Mlltten auch, die dabei waren. Knnte mir jemand helfe
Surprisingly awesome
We were not looking for a sensor bin, but this happened to be the only bin that would fit in our small kitchen reasonably well. However, now that we have one, I am pretty darn pleased with it! It’s actually very nice to have hands-free disposal. We’ve also had a lot of fun naming the bin and ascribing it a personality ;). It took a little while to get our cat to no longer be scared every time the bin opened and closed, but eventually it became associated with treats and mealtimes, and they are now the best of friends. It’s very easy to change out the bags, and they keep seated very well in the lid. Welcome to the family, binsley ;)!
Very stylish bi
Looks stylish in my new kitchen. I read some previous reviews about how hard it is to get the bag out, however I haven’t had any problems with this so, comes out very easy.
Nice addition to my kitche
Great bin. Neat and tidy..one down side is the bin is not sealed. Very hard to wash it. Cant fill it with water to rinse it out and the base and sides are screwed on and it leaks out the bottom.
But estheticly very nice
4.0 out of 5 stars Decent size bin with sensor lid
I like this bin as you don’t have to touch for the lid to open. It could be taller though as you need to bend down to move your hand across the sensor. The batteries are still going. It is good that you don’t have to change the battery too often. This bin is a decent size.
Beautifully designed bi
Love this bin, very nice in the kitchen, opens and shuts easily without needing to touch it. Beautiful desig
Nach längerem...
ausprobieren muss ich nun sagen das er leider ein paar macken in der Elektronik hat.
Er ffnet dann einfach die Klappe nicht oder geht von alleine nicht zu. Alles im alles ok
Great product - wouldn’t want to go back to a ‘normal’ bin!
Love this! Really good to be able to throw things in the bin without having to touch it. The base is sturdy. The lid is probably the weakest part, could easily be broken as the hinges are a bit flimsy. It’s easy to empty. The batteries last a long time. It’s not so easy to keep the rim clean but the base wipes down well. It’s very sensitive and opens if you just walk past so best stored somewhere out of the way! Wouldn’t want to go back to a manual bin now. Definitely recommend this product.
Best fit in my kitche
For the price i paid its the best. It looks stylish and perfect fit in our kitchen. Easy to use.
Not worth money
Wouldn’t say it’s worth over 100 lucky bought when half price the who thing seems fairly cheaply made
Great looking bi
Love I haven’t got to lift lift . Beware of a cat if you have one He thinks it’s a toy loves reaching up and looking in when the bin detects him stood in fro
Arrived on time, easy to assemble, works perfectly. Mechanism a little clunky when lid closes but minor irritant only. Nice and compact and fits the space perfectly. Would recommend. They give you some lemon scented bin liners too!
Great for smaller kitchens
Like the size nice compact size for a small kitchen works fine so far the only thing I would say is its a bit pricey but I still would recommend
Very nice and useful
Very useful and nice.
Saving my garbage bags.
No mess In the kitche
Funcional y diseño.
Es funcional, prctico, bonito, ocupa poco espacio y tiene buena capacidad. Eatoy muy satisfecha con esta compra.
Perfect!
Very nice product, doesn’t look too big but holds a lot!.
Great bin.
Definitely recommend this bin. Looks great, easy to keep clean.
You have to buy the genuine bags
Black bags get a little stuck on the curled up lip at the top. Usually ripping on removal and spreading all the goodies onto the floor Dohh
Highly recommend
Brilliant piece of kit has transformed my kitchen. Looks sleek and is very convenient not needing to open the dustbi
Great bin.
It’s so handy and easy to use. It has a large capacity. It’s nice not to have to manually open the bin.
Only slight drawback – if you have cats their tails can make the bin open of they swish their tail when they walk past, which may freak them out a bit if nervous, but ours got used to it quite fast and don’t set it off so often now.
Bi
Good looking bin. Does what its supposed to, only problem is it opens when I pass it!
A bin with bonuses
A good capacity kitchen bin with bonuses…..
No need to touch the bin when cooking, hygienically smart
Takes a standard bin liner with or without tie strings
The lid opens when you approach the bin. This can be a bit annoying at first, however it frightened the life out of my daughter’s poodle which now refuses to come into the kitchen, great fun and a real bonus!
Morphy Richards Square Sensor Bin, 42 L - Black
I bought this in 2017 and still love this bin. Perfect size, well made and sensitive sensor, the only negative is that I now stand for a second at other bins waiting for them to open.
Nice and easy to manage
The quality of bin is good and hands free operation works effortlessly. I only think that it has a design flaw that sensor is on the side as oppose on the top. This means that when you want bin to open for few seconds like you are scraping a plate or throwing few items, the bin keeps closing. Hence, I have not given 5* rating.
Macht was er soll
Der Abfalleimer erfllt seinen Zweck und sieht auch noch schick aus.
Batterien rein, Sensor funktioniert und der Deckel ffnet und schliet ohne Macken.
Es wurden sogar noch einige passende Mllbeutel mit leichtem Zitronenduft beigelegt.
Acquisto indovinato.
Bello,capace ma non ingombrante, buona idea le pile ricaricabili.
Excellent sensor, works well.
Nice bin, reasonable value and nice to use with the branded Morphy Richards liners which maximise capacity. It looks good but the actual body of the bin is pretty cheaply made.
The lid is nice and houses the sensor and mechanism. The sensor works really well.
Brilliant bin!
Love this bin as you don’t have to touch it at all! Except for emptying it lol it does go off a lot when you ealk buy it, but that don’t bother us! You can over ride it to use manually but what the point!
Very good value
Just the right size for my kitchen,and no finger prints as it’s hands free.
Was unsure whether to buy this due to the mixed reviews but I went ahead. The bins been pretty great. Some people have mentioned that the bin is overly sensitive and it’s always opening. I have not had this issue. I think if you have a very busy home and you put it right where people frequently walk right past it, like within 20cm then it’s going to open a lot. Also it did have an issue at first of not closing all the way and leaving a little gap but this problem has now just gone away on it’s own.
Decent bi
stylish
senscer works a treat ,this is a nice looking bin,highly recommend.
Really pleased with this automatic bin.
Great item. Hygienic kitchen bin. My one dog was amused by it opening & closing when she walked by but I have moved i
Good bi
It does the job of a bin. Hands free operation is good.
Muy bie
Recomienda tu compra. Es fcil de usar y facilita mucho el da a da.
Good, but has its flaws
I actually received a slightly different model than the one advertised – mine didn’t have ANY buttons (Other than an ‘on/off’ toggle on the inside of the lid), so if it breaks down, you’re down to manually opening it, for which there are no sanitary means – you have to hook your fingers underneath the thin plastic lid to do so. Also, it’s not made too clear that the IR sensor is actually facing forwards, NOT vertically up, meaning you have to wave your hand in front of it, instead of over it – a slightly less convenient option if you go for the 42-litre model as it’s rather short. Finally, when it’s open, it only stays open for a short period of time, meaning if you need to scrape a plate into it, you need to stop the lid from going down manually – could do with an override, like having it not close if you’re still in front of it. On the good side, it looks very attractive, the sensor is (Almost always) very responsive, nice little show off gadget and my 6 year old loves it!
ALSO: It doesn’t come with batteries, and for some bizare reason it’s using AA, not AAA, so have a pack ready!
Fabulous bin!
I have had this bin this bin for over 5 months now and it is brilliant, I am still on the first load of batteries. I would definitely recommend it. Just a wave of the hand and it opens long enough to dispose of things and then shuts, so no messy bin. It holds a lot and the bin bag just lifts out no problem. You can also just tuck the bag in around the supplied rim which holds the bag in place, so you have no bits of bag sticking out looking messy. It also looks smart, so whats not to like.
Value
Lovely handy bin but batteries don’t seem to last for long although good value for money
Está bie
La calidad es bastante limitada pero recibes lo que pagas. Es muy inteligente y el sensor va divinamente pero en cuanto a la calidad deja bastante que desear.
Five Stars
Love my bin….great buy and the company are great to deal with.
Four Stars
great just what i wanted,had one before and loved it.
Nice and compact design means it fits away nicely. The gently sloping sides mean that bags can be removed easily. The sensor works well and the bin opens and closes reliably. The motor isn’t too strong so will not close fully if there is anything blocking it.
A nice touch is the the plastic ring that secures the bin bag to the base prior to the lid being placed on top.
May be worth placing it in a position where there is not too much foot traffic, as the sensor is quite sensitive it can open the bin when you walk closely past it.

W'at no batteries?
great bin, only for the price, would have given 5 stars if the batteries were supplied with it.
Good size
I love this bin, replaced my 50L one that suddenly went wrong.
Arrived quickly, well packed and it works.
TL:DR – Giggle giggle tee hee! these are great fun and amusing when friends come round.
I bought this, probably for the same reason as 95% of the people who’re currently staring at it thinking “that looks cool!” I tried to justify it to myself as being hygienic (no need to touch the lid, or to leave grease all over it like one of those perishingly old-fashioned manual opening bins) and it does do that – The lid of the bin is still stubbornly shiny, without the usual speckles of food and such which seem magnetically attracted to the lid of your bin.
That having been said, however, that is really just a way of justifying it to sensible people… For the idiots among us, this bin is worth every penny of the price just as an activity for your easily amused friends! I’ve spent hours experimenting with what does and doesn’t trigger the bin (turns out that a 30cm serial killer knife does… As does a Stihl MS 181c chainsaw running at full revs!) and filming my exploits for social media… It’s great fun, and when friends come round it’s become a bit of a celebrity!
Well worth it! It only lost a star because if you’re not a childish crazy-person who just wants a flashy toy then you’re probably going to be less thrilled with it than I am…

Like the "no touch" sensor opening
Delivered very quickly. Like the “no touch” sensor opening. Good size. Just what we wanted.
Looks great in Kitche
Great Bin. Looks good in kitchen. Can get a bit annoying at times, as when you walk past it, it opens the lid on the bin, as sensor is very sensitive. That said would recommend and would buy again. Good size for a average size kitchen.
Nice size
A good bin but watch where you put it or it will open and close on its own all day if the sensor picks some thing up
Great bin, have been using it a few months ...
Great bin, have been using it a few months and the battery is still going strong. It is pretty narrow however so getting your rubbish bag out can result in tears in the bag!! But our kitchen is really small so we needed something narrow. It would be hard to go back to a manual bin after this one haha!
So Good I bought it twice!
We bought one of these after we saw one at a friends house – then we couldn’t decide on using it for recycling or waste so we bought another! They look sleek side by side in the kitchen, the kids love it and it’s really hygienic!! The battery’s last for ever and it can be used without them if needs be as a manual bin.

Great! Sensor works fine if you remember to hold something over it so it knows you’re still there!
Good packing, delivered in time
Everything as mentioned. Good packing, delivered in time, in good shape. The only negative factor was there was no receipt for the sale. Product itself is working fine so far, although it has been only two weeks. The sensor is good…..the steel does the job but it could have been of better quality…but again probably it would add to the cost.
So far no complaints. One star less for missing receipt, otherwise good and I will definitely recommend….good addition to the kitchen.
40 litre automatic waste bin.
Good size and shape; looks good and does what it is meant to do. as the bin does not come with a solid liner, it’s a good idea to use two bin liners in order to avoid the inside of the bin becoming soiled. The liner retaining ring works well and is a good idea. The lid is a bit flimsy and the opening mechanism is very noisy, but at the price, this bin is very good value.
Morphy Richards square sensor bi
Very pleased with my sensor bin. Love the shape and desig
This is my second Morphy Richards sensor bin as I accidentally killed the last one by careless cleaning (some cleaning spray got in the gubbins) so note…spray the cleaning spray onto a cloth then wipe .. don’t spray onto the lid first in case it goes in the holes. My last bin was still going strong after 10 months though before I damaged it and I didn’t hesitate to replace it with the same model .
I got this bin initially as it fits perfectly into the gap under my work surface and was cheap for a relatively classy looking bin . The automatic opening also proves to be very useful when scraping plates etc .. but does take a bit of getting used to and you also have to find the right position so it doesn’t open all the time and annoy you .
The batteries last a surprisingly long time (several months!) . It takes 4 AA batteries .
The bottom part is just a stainless steel bin .. all the motor etc is in the lid which is a chrome effect plastic .. you can buy replacement lids if they do break which currently works out at about half the price of the bin so not bad.
This new one did seem to be much more sensitive than the last and was driving me up the wall with opening all the time . it was even opening by itself , which made us laugh and wonder if we had a ghost , but it has settled down now and is behaving itself . I suppose this is why I knocked a star off .. They are great little bins (the 42litre is quite petit) but they can be a little bit temperamental and clearly can vary a little bit based on my experience. I’ll take a photo to show why I have stuck with this bin because it fits so nicely in my cavity. thank you .oh and by the way as you can see i’ve had to choose the smaller bin (it comes in a taller 50 litre version as well) so there is enough room for the lid to open without bashing the worktop.
Five Stars
Really pleased with this purchase.
Well made and stylish to look at.
And the price was amazing
great bin. great novelty too when opens and closes ...
his is a must!!! great bin. great novelty too when opens and closes itself….
Works well, looks good, 10/10!
When I bought this, the girlfriend was a little apprehensive as deemed it a ‘unnecessary gadget’. Well I’m delighted to now tell you that one month on she’s delighted with it – it looks the part and is much more hygienic… 10/10 from me!

This is a real lazy mans purchase but has been so useful in our household and always gets comments from visitors. It is so handy when you have several items to dispose of and just need to lean into the bin for it to open – so useful but it’s downfall is that when ever you walk past it opens awaiting rubbish to be disposed of but that is because it is in a place that we pass regularly in our kitchen so only to be expected. Have noted that the batteries also run down quickly but again this could be where it is in our kitchen and the constant open/close function being used.
Great looking bin,I love gadgets & this fits perfectly in my new black & white kitchen,works well,time will tell how long the batteries last?

Lovely bin looks really nice in my kitchen, the lid action is very smooth
Excellent bin, fits perfectly under kitchen worktops, yet is a useful size.
I have just bought one in cream and I love it. Until you have a touch free bin you cannot imagination just how convenient it is. You can also register it and get a 5 year guarantee so what is there not to like.
