Morphy Richards 977116 Pro Rectangular Kitchen Bin with Infrared Motion Sensor Technology, Two Compartments and Removable Food Caddy, 75 Litre Capacity, Stainless Steel

Have had this bin for over a month and has worked perfectly, none of the issues highlighted in other reviews. The lid won’t open fully if you obstruct it as a safety feature, which may be causing some people issues. There is a countdown timer until it closes - if you trigger the sensor this resets to give you more time, or you can press the open button to keep it open until you press close. Comes with a 5 year warranty, so anyone having issues have that protection.

Bins have come a long way since the plastic swing bin, which always wafted revolting smells as the lid swung, yes this works well, good size compartments, easy to clean, any wet tea bags food etc in the box with a lid, so no smells when you open the bin, flatten any cardboard and there's enough room, easy enough to take the separate compartments to the bin at the end of the day. Batteries last well, ours have been in a few months and still going, I'm going to use re chargeable batteries as they will last twice as long as ordinary one's. digital count down for lid closing, there is an on/ off switch you can use other closing methods not just the battery. 3 stars for the price, £129.99 really!! it's a bin,I'll just have to get over it. But built well, works well and extremely useful.

I really like this bin & it looks lovely at the end of my kitchen island.However, it is very expensive for a bin and I've had the following issues;As mentioned in many other reviews, it takes a lot of batteries. Cheap batteries won't work for longer than a few hours - I use rechargeable ones though without any problem so not a massive inconvenience.It's slightly too short to fit flush against the worktop on my kitchen island and as the worktop over hangs I need to place the bin approx 5 inches away from the island to enable the lid to open.The body of the bin is quite thin and therefore easily dented (especially on the curve). Our German shepherd has a very waggly tail which has put several dents on the curved area of the bin.The retaining ring for the food caddy sits quite deep inside the caddy, so whilst it does the job of keeping the bag in place you need to get your hands dirty to remove it from the bin before replacing the bag (or not use it at all). A retaining ring that sits neatly at the top would be far more practical!The sensor is very sensitive and walking past the bin usually results in the lid flying open (hence lots of batteries!).Having said that, I still love the bin for it's looks and the ability to sort recycling and would probably purchase it again even with the points mentioned above.

Surprisingly large capacity. Thought we'd be emptying this more often as the main compartment is smaller than our old bin but surprisingly large capacity. Nice design. Looks great and keeps everything neat and tidy. Had a problem with the first once we received as it didn't open properly. Once it was replaced worked fine.

I had high hopes for this bin. We had a 42l sensor bin from Morphy Richards and were very pleased with it, so I took a risk on this larger one to help with recycling requirements. The bin itself is lovely, the sections are a decent size, and you can remove the caddy from the top section to make more space. I liked how the bottom drawer comes out so you can take recycling out easily. Minor issue to begin with was finding bin bags to fit, as the bin itself is wide. I used 60l black bin bags from Tesco, which being black had the added advantage of not being too visible.However, after a couple of days the bin lid became very slow to open, and sometimes failed to open altogether. It seemed to be struggling to have enough power to open the lid with the sensor, so I started using the Open and Close buttons instead. A day later it didn't respond at all. I swapped the Amazon cheap AA batteries out to brand new Duracell Ultra, and a couple of days later the same thing happened. The batteries worked fine in our old bin, so they did still have charge. I just don't think that 6 x AA batteries are strong enough.I am returning this, the whole point of a sensor bin is that you can open the lid with a wave of your hand, and this doesn't do that.

Bin is worth every penny!* looks good* bin liners are easy to remove due to the wide opening* lower basket for recyclables is removable, so can be taken to the outside bins and there is no need to use liners (also easy to clean)* separate container for food scraps contains bad smells* as long as you are in sight of the motion sensor, the lid stays open, so you can peel vegetables straight to the bin without fighting with the closing lid

Molto pratico, lo consiglio

ottimo prodotto

Da arrivato aveva già il problema che l'apertura automatica sembrava troppo debole (chissà la mia unità aveva già difetti) dovevo cambiare le batterie troppo spesso. Ho acquistata invece una concorrente con lo stesso design che funziona perfettamente e le batteria durano mesi e l'apertura automatica e fulminea.
