The world of technology seems to be traveling faster and faster. In the last decade, we have seen the rise of mobile phones, the Internet, and a host of other devices, gadgets, and forms of communication.
But one area you wouldn’t expect all this sci-fi technology to infiltrate is the kitchen, and in particular the humble kitchen container.
However, even the kitchen basket has had a 21st century makeover in the guise of the sensor basket.
sensor containers
These containers aren’t just stylized gadgets, either. They make them look modern and designer, but there is practicality behind them as they are an ingenious solution to a common problem:
Tampering with bins is a way of spreading germs in our kitchen, so every time you throw something in the bin, you should wash your hands well, but do you know, and if so, do you know how annoying it can be to have to constantly run to the sink? you are preparing a dinner.
There are flip-top and pedal bins that solve this problem, but flip-top bins have the problem that the lid gets dirty very quickly, while pedal bins can be cumbersome to use.
Sensor bins, as the name suggests, detect when you approach with a handful of debris. The bin lid, controlled by a battery-powered motor, lifts the lid, then closes it once you’ve disposed of the trash and walked away. This means you never have to touch the container and the container lid will stay clean.
The sensor containers are also not cumbersome. Most sensor bins lift the lid quietly, quickly and effortlessly, and are so easy to use you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
They are also stylish, many of them are made of good quality steel that is easy to clean and look modern and contemporary and will suit any kitchen from rustic to modern.
They’re not expensive either, many sensor bins can be bought relatively cheaply, especially from online bin providers and come in a variety of sizes – up to 50 litres, big enough even for a commercial kitchen.
