The Pukomc Smart Sensor Wastebasket introduces touchless technology to the laundry room or bathroom. It features an infrared sensor with a response time of 0.3 seconds, allowing for hygienic disposal without physical contact. The unit is built with a slim-profile body, allowing it to fit into narrow "dead zones" near appliances or toilets. It is powered by standard batteries, and the compartment is designed for tool-free replacement when needed.
The lid is rated IPX3, which indicates it can handle vertical water sprays, adding a layer of protection against occasional splashes. However, to maintain the internal electronics, it is best used in well-ventilated areas rather than enclosed, high-humidity shower zones. The sensor has a range of 15cm to 25cm; placing the bin in a very high-traffic walkway may cause the lid to trigger more frequently than intended.
To preserve the battery life and mechanical gears, ensure the lid is not obstructed by heavy overhanging bags or external objects during its opening cycle.
This bin is made from a combination of ABS and polypropylene, making it easy to wipe down. It is a practical choice for those who prioritize a modern aesthetic and want to minimize touching waste lids during household chores.
If you prefer a manual, non-electronic option that fits on top of a counter, the Ltwqling Mini Pop-Up Bin is a simple alternative.
