Operating this bin is child's play thanks to three different modes. Simply press the classic button on the housing and the lid opens. It remains open until the next press. This saves energy if you throw away more rubbish. The second mode is the infrared sensor mode - a hand or object is enough to pass the detection area and the lid opens and closes automatically after a few seconds. The third mode is the vibration mode - a light press on the housing is all it takes for the bin to open. Practical for everyday use!
