Swan SWKA4500BN Retro Kitchen Bin with Infrared Technology, Square, 45 Litre, Black

The media could not be loaded. Great product, nicely finished and love the retro look, also no more messy fingerprints on the bin lid so far more hygienic. Would recommend 👍

I never thought I would be impressed by a bin, yet here we are. The sensor is very reactive which makes it easy to use. It looks lovely in the kitchen, is easy to keep clean, I am very happy with this purchase.

I had hoped to put this in the bathroom but it was a little large for my small room. However, it goes really well in the kitchen and and the fairly neutral colour blends in quite well. The advantages of this sensor bin are that you just have to approach the bin or swipe in front of it and the lid opens quickly to allow you to put the rubbish in. Very handy if your hands are dirty, full of rubbish or you just don't like touching bins. It's like having your very own bin butler! Note that the lid closes itself quite quickly, but don't worry if you are still putting stuff in, it doesn't hurt if it catches your hand.The best bit is every so often it frightens the other half when she walks past it a little too close.

The Swan Retro range is really nice....I have most of the items & they're good quality & look nice. Good quality bin, great price & excellent delivery service.

Works wellBag securing loop is a bit flimsy, BE careful with it.Stops working if battery compartment gets damp.

I bought this a few years ago and didn’t get round to writing a review.Like you, I imagine, I wanted a stylish bin for my kitchen as it’s an essential item that is always on show. I did think this was a lot of money to pay for a bin, but I liked how it looked and thought it would be a good investment.It went to the tip some time ago.I had no issues with it for the first 6 months. No problems with the sensor; it wasn’t over-sensitive and it didn’t go off it someone happened to walk past. It went off as it should and the lid opened easily. But then it stopped working and the sensor didn’t activate at all.Changing the batteries didn’t fix it, and so I continued to use it as a manual bin by opening the lid by hand. I was disappointed but could live with it. Some time after that, the lid wouldn’t open at all. It was stuck in the closed position. I kept using the bin, but had take off the top section to put something in it, and then attach the lid again. This is a two hand job due to the weight of the motor.I had been googling like a demon during this time to try to fix the issue, and I discovered lots of others had the same problem.Please do not buy this bin. There’s s strong chance it will stop working after its initial honeymoon period. I don’t want you to waste your money and suffer the same frustrations that I did. This is an expensive item and I’d encourage you to explore other options or stick to a handsome manual bin.

Its sleek design, especially in stainless steel, looks great and resists fingerprints. The touchless sensor works perfectly, opening the lid smoothly when you wave your hand, which is super convenient when your hands are full or dirty. The lid seals well, containing odors effectively. Overall, it's a great blend of form and function.TIPS: u can buy lightweight fresheners and attach to the lid.

This lovely designed Swan kitchen bin is as perfect as a bin can be. The lid is automatic, it has a frame to hold the bag in place inside the bin so there is no ugly bag showing, it is a very good size so no emptying the bin more than once a day and finally comes in lots of colours and is part of the lovely retro range. Well done, Swan!
