Our Take

Smart, compact, and genuinely waterproof—a bathroom upgrade that pays for itself in peace of mind.

Motion-sensor trash cans used to be a luxury; now they're $28 and waterproof.

This is the kind of small appliance that solves a real friction point: touching a trash can in a humid bathroom is gross, and auto-closing bins keep odors contained.

On price

At $28.25 (down from $34.99), you're paying a modest premium over a regular trash can for genuine motion-sensor convenience and waterproof durability.

The Criteria

What to weigh

Sensor & Auto-Close

Infrared motion sensor with 5-second auto-close

The lid stays open as long as your hand hovers above it, then closes automatically after 5 seconds of no movement. It's genuinely thoughtful—no need to wave frantically or hold your hand there. Powered by 2 AA batteries (not included).

Size & Material

10"L × 5.3"W × 11.42"H, 2 gallons, ABS plastic

Compact footprint won't dominate a small bathroom or bedroom corner. The wave-stripe design is both decorative and anti-slip, and the oval shape fits sleekly into tight spaces without sacrificing capacity.

Waterproof & Durable

IPX5 water-resistant rating

Built to handle humid bathroom environments—won't rust or leave water stains after rinsing. The removable liner ring keeps bags hidden and lets you swap them without touching the bin interior.

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants hands-free waste disposal in a bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen—especially if you're battling humidity or just want one less thing to touch.
