Overview
Not a touch-free sensor can, this is a foot pedal bin in brushed satin nickel stainless steel. A step opens the lid, and the lid closes gently on its own.
The inner bucket lifts out for emptying and rinsing, and the brushed finish hides fingerprints better than a polished one. The lid closing quietly is useful in a kitchen or office. Liner size and pedal durability are not stated.
Who it's for
Households that fill a kitchen bin daily and want the lid shut between uses. The rectangular shape lines up against a wall or cabinet. Small apartments with little floor space may find the footprint large.
Pros and cons
- Foot pedal opens hands-free
- Removable inner bucket
- Smudge resistant finish
- Large capacity for a household
- Liner size not listed
- Pedal rating not listed
- Takes real floor space
- Warranty terms not listed
Performance notes
The pedal lifts the lid through a lever, so hands stay clean. A damper slows the lid on the way down to cut noise. The brushed texture breaks up reflections, which helps fingerprints blend in.
