Vanpopubs Motion Sensor Bathroom Trash Can 2 Pack

Overview

The Vanpopubs 2 pack is a set of two 2.7 gallon touchless trash cans with an infrared motion sensor lid, sized for bathrooms, bedrooms, or small kitchen corners rather than a full kitchen trash run.

Each 7.0 by 9.8 by 12.2 inch bin needs about 23.6 inches, roughly 60cm, of clear space above it for the sensor and lid to work, so it is built for open floor placement rather than tucking under a desk or sink, a placement Vanpopubs specifically rules out. The lid opens on a 0.1 second sensor response and closes automatically after 5 seconds without a hand near it, or it can be locked open with a double tap for continuous use while cooking or getting ready.

• 2.7 gallon capacity, 2 cans included
• 0.1 second infrared sensor response
• IPX5 waterproof rating
• Needs roughly 23.6 inches of overhead clearance

Who it's for

Suits anyone wanting a small, hands-free trash can for a bathroom, bedroom, or office, especially where two matching bins are needed for two rooms at once. Not suitable for placement under a desk, under a sink, or anywhere without roughly two feet of clearance overhead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The infrared sensor opens the lid in about 0.1 seconds when a hand passes near it and closes it automatically 5 seconds after nothing is detected, which is what keeps the can touchless day to day. Because the sensor reads the space above the can, Vanpopubs requires roughly 23.6 inches of clearance overhead for it to trigger reliably, and states plainly that under-desk or under-sink spots will not work. The PP plastic body carries an IPX5 rating, so bathroom splashes will not damage it, though it still runs on two AA batteries per can that are not included.
